  I could not possibly go out without my nials done, but I always do them myself. I find it relaxing.

  My husband has just bought me the fire and ice nail art set from SpecialFX, and the foils are terrific. It also contains a black nail art pen, bindis and transfres. My grandmother who is 90 says blue nails are 'untheocratic' but I can't figure that one out. Check out the websight www.sensualle.co.uk for the best selection of sexy stockings and tights around, yes they even make tights sexy!!!!!!!!

  I have tried asking for clarification as you suggested but all I meet with is a brick wall. He made it clear it is a Catholic thing, and he is very catholic, midnight mass etc. He is widowed so I suppose there could be some guilt there.

  If you die, you will not be allowed to marry in the new world....(?)

  well, lets just say this was one of my major hangups when i was w/ the jws.. to think that the one you loved, & were married to, or if you were single never married before, & then making it to the new world not being able to marry again was such a horrifying concept..!

  i remember some pics being changed on the front pages of literature, or illustrations being changed inside of literature where once there were a wife & children meeting their father/husband in the graveyard after resurrection, & then they took the illustrations away, with maybe a whole family just welcoming back one of their children from the grave.

  well, i asked my mom over & over about this teaching, & she told me to ask the brothers... the brothers said that i would just have to have faith that things would workout in the resurrection, or that the society would get new light about the subject, but that i should never question the faithful & discreet slave.

  ok, here's the deal.. way back when i got df'd i kinda went wild.

  started riding motorcycles, wore rock group t-shirts, got 3 earrings in my left ear, got a tattoo, and grew my hair long.

  i had to cut it once back in '93 because my employer said to.

  Francoise,

  Guys with shaved heads-yuk!!!!!!!!!!!! Men neeed hair and it'll fall out soon enough. A no.1 cut makes you look aggresive, not u, men in general.

  Even Macca's cut his hair now (something to do with the new missus!) so cut it, you'll be glad you did.

(I am female). All of a sudden he told me we could no longer work together and since then has cut off all communication routes totally. On investigation I learned that he had developed feelings for me and as a devout Catholic had felt forced to confess them and then cut me out of his life forever. I feel this is very sad, as we worked well together and the problem, if any , could have been overcome by conversation.

  do you think that they are well meaning oldsters trying their best to serve god?

  But I must say in all honesty that Dan Sydlick struck me as a sincere individual when I met him, whereas others have not.

  Is that why Peter said "Lord where would we go away to?" Some may want to, but as you say, the only other way is out, which must be a frightening prospect.

  This is my BIG BUGBEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  It all seems to hinge on the fact that Jesus was talking to those with the chance of becoming the heavenly class in those quoted verses from the NT, where they would literally become like angels, who it would appear are without gender. Noone really knows what the outcome is for those of the other sheep, but one is meant to remember that Jehovah is "opening his hand and satisfying the desire pf every living thing" so we have to be patient and wait and see. My husband was married previously and widowed, but I would want him with me in the new order. It's all too complicated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
