I have been away several days - and what is new to some of us is not to others.
Thanks. First time I've seen this. Missed the other 2 posts.
That's why when a thread is resurrected with another comment it handily goes back the top.
That way the reader can read all of the comments associated with the topic in one place. It's almost like it was designed that way .....

FFS. Can people not at least do a cursory search for a topic before posting the same thing over and over again? This is the third one.
It's the height of poor forum etiquette.
And it offends my OCD!
i am a non-jw girl dating a jw man for almost 5 years now since end of high school.
most of the relationship has been long distance.
when we started dating, we wanted a serious long term relationship that would end in marriage one day.
Many JWs, like religious people in general, can be selfish and rather arrogant and expect you to be the one to make all the changes and compromises. If you are not a JW then they may also be conflicted somewhat (not a good place to be) because they are not really keeping to the rules with what they are doing so may not really be serious that the relationship will ever go anywhere.
That.
If you go ahead with the relationship you will be the one that has to capitulate and compromise your beliefs to accommodate his. Bear in mind it's also a religion where women are subservient to men.
The fact that he has a relationship with a non-JW may indicate he's not strong in his faith and may be easily persuaded to leave but think very carefully before you go ahead.
to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.
most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.
The bottom line is: we haven't had a real free and impartial press for some considerable time.
The press has always been free, but you're right, it's rarely impartial.
To some extent you take your poison from the one that fits your perspective on the world.
As long as you maintain your internal filters it's not necessarily a bad thing.

So they follow whoever is most hysterical.
Hence the reason he was elected and now has control of the nuclear launch codes.
i was manning a cart not long ago.
o, aye:) .
a man, who i suspect is familiar with this site comes to me.

Can you perhaps not find something better to do? Water your geraniums or rearrange your music collection into alphabetical order?

The whiners have some bewilderment caused by the media telling them the sky is falling
It's nothing to do with the media. I'm capable of making my own mind up on Trump's case of the Emperor's New Clothes based on listening to his insane ramblings for the last 18 months.

DY - here we go again. Not everyone who supports Trimp is vile or full of hate. In your limited JW world I know it's easy to paint people with the evil brush. There is a lot more hate coming from the left now, both media and supporters.
Not hate. More bewilderment and amusement.

Who did she lie about reporting this fake nose
Well, apparently there was a 'Bowling Green massacre' - in her mind anyway.
Plus she was the one that came up with the 'alternative facts' phrase when challenged on the numbers attending Trump's inauguration.
i'm a baptized jw...been baptized for 8 years...and throughout the years i've been baptized i see "hypocrisy" so to speak in the religion...when you're new and not baptized that's when the jws want to invite you to every gathering they have, they want to appear like they're your best friend...they want to help you out when needed and so forth...however, once you're baptized you go to the elders for help they don't help you....all they do is gather you around the office...have bibles in hand and so forth...they give you articles as well, instead of physically helping you out....but yet when you weren't baptized they would physically help you out and not throw scriptures and articles in your face.
also when you ask for help and so forth with the bros/sisters they want to throw the "each one must carry his/her own load" scripture at you.....but yet what happened to the scripture of taking care of widows and people who are orphans?.
it's not just one congregation...throughout the 8 years i've been baptized i've been through many kingdom halls...many towns...many states...when i was inactive for awhile i even pretended to not be baptized and just play dumb when the witnesses came to my door...they're much nicer to you when you're not baptized then when you are baptized...why is that?.
Can't believe I'm the first!
