  ExJW's Make Better Lovers?

  by COMF in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't mean in general, i mean for exjw's... is there a noticable advantage to pairing with someone with the same background?

  i'd like to read your thoughts and experiences on this subject.. i've been romantically involved few times, since "the light got brighter" for me about the organization, with people who didn't know anything about jw's before meeting me.

  one of them viewed my exjw activity as a bit obsessive but okay as long as she got to obsess on her favorite obesssions, too.

  by Disengaged in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the other evening a young person was reinstated and the jerk-water elder making the announcement went out of his way to remind "the friends" that applauding would not be proper.

  what mind control, bunk, dribble, bull................ they are so loving aren't they?

  i shoulda applauded anyway.

  as i recall about 15 yrs ago we were admonished about this,,as the newly re instated person was only doing what they should be doing,,,so why adulate them

  Sports Illustrated 6/25/01

  by DB in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sports illustrated, in its june 25, 2001 issue on page 76, reports that jerry hairston of the baltimore orioles had been "baptized as a jehovah's witness" last july.. at times, according to the artcile, hairston's passionate play on the field, charactarized by end-over-flips of his bat after strikeouts and exasperated shrugs during arguments with umpires, gives other players the impression of cockiness on his part.

  i'm a passionate person.".

  the article mentions that after hairston slammed his bat to the ground after popping out on a roger clemens fastball, he got a long staredown from clemens.

  my children were not to participate in any sports events that involved competition, nor to bring glory to themselves, ah well must have been a different cong
