  On sex, lesbians and gay's - question

  by Celtic in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  the first time you went to bed or had same gender sex with your partner after leaving the jw experience, how did you feel?

  and what led to this event, could you put it into words?.

  sunshine and peace.

  Further up, you will see a link called "All Forums". Click on that and you will see a whole list of forum names, one of which is the "Dating" one.

  If you're constructing a website, I think you'll be able to handle doing what I just described

  Wouldn't it be better if this thread put under the "Dating, Relationships, Sex" forum?

  I'm not being picky, but it's just that this Main forum has more threads than can be read sometimes, so it's better to use the other forums for the subjects they've been put there for.

  and it wasn't as nerve racking as i had contemplated.

  and now the "ball" is set in motion.. .

  i called my step (father), the elder who did the "deed" all those years ago and then my mom turns around two yrs later and marries him, after she gets involved with a married elder (who divorced his then wife and then married my mom,(bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) and sleeps with the (enemy) every night.

  folks, i know some of you feel a little peeved with the old h2o but i don't think you have been fair to the new one.

  there is and will be a different attitude there and i have been assured of this by both rick and fd2.

  i would like to encourage everyone here to cross post on h2o in the various forums .... let's make as many places as we can available for those who need support and questions answered .... theo nly wat to do that is let your past animosities go and think of those coming behind you.. if you have problems there then there is a forum you can post your complaints to and suggestiosn on what needs changing ... i just feel with the number of people here who could help those who come into h2o (and tishies board0 that we need to reach out a little more ..... go over and try it out folks and support others there too .......... http://www.aimoo.com/forum/freeboard.cfm?id=311102.

  Although I can understand JanG's sentiments, I feel she is coming from a different angle to that of many others who post here.

  I do not see my role as one of "preaching" to ex-jws. There is now plenty of information boards in the Net, some of which helped me on my path out of the Borg. They have been set up for that purpose, and I think the owners of those sites are to be commended.

  I know I may have experience and perhaps advice to give to those who need it. I was a 3rd generation JW and still have family in the Org. I have seen much go on in the JW life.

  However, I am limited in the time and energy I have to spend on the Internet. I have a LIFE - I work, I sleep, I have things to take care of, I have interests that are not in any way associated with the ex-jw "cause".

  I don't see my role as a "preacher" or informer of ex-JW issues. I am just a normal person who has other interests BESIDES the JW issue. My life is not dominated by being an ex-jw. It is a PART of it, but that doesn't make up my sole pre-occupation!

  If anyone wants to ask me questions, or request some help, my email is open for that. That is one of the reasons why I keep my email addy open and available to all. (It's also so I can make more friends )

  I try to read and reply when I can, but this board and the whole ex-JW issue does not run my life. If I could help more, I would - but life is about living for the future, not in the past.

  funny bethel stories

  by joelbear in

  2. friends

  thought i'd share some of the adventures.. one day we had roast beef at lunch which was one of the more delicious meals at bethel.

  i used roast beef to make sandwiches for the evenings and weekends.. the rule was, you were allowed to go to any table after dismissal to take leftovers.

  i was approaching a table with a full dish of roast beef when a sister rushed up and grabbed the dish and took off with it.

  Sorry, I don't have any funny Bethel stories, but the mention of roast beef sandwiches had me salivating (and it had nothing to do with hairy male butts, LOL)

  Regardless of whether we're active in the congs or not, we may know who you're trying to contact. The "truth" is a small world, even in Australia.

  Are few details perhaps?

  Biology Lesson for the gals

  by Francois in

  1. jw

  elsewhere in the active topics list is a great post from wasasister dealing in a very wise manner with women's hormonal cycle.

  the viewpoint and outlook contained in her post was to my mind very well done, thoughtful, considerate, and made a number of points that would be helpful to keep in mind in dealing with the male/female dynamic.. so i hope (and believe) that wasa won't mind if i use her post to springboard to one of my own - the mirror image of hers.. wasa makes a very good point in saying that women are jerked around by the hormones in their blood every month.

  and lots of us know at least one woman whose pms reaches truly epic proportions.

  Umm.. great comments, Francois but your reasoning about males being led by their "little heads" seems to ignore the fact that women can be lead just the same by similar hormones.

  We can be just as sex-crazy as you men - we're just more demure about it!

  smiliness & healing + other bumpth

  if it wasn't so sad it'd be laughable.

  here we are this community of ex jw's around the earth trying to make sense of an organisation which we were brought up in, but unknown to us at the time completely, was changing its light on so many different issues.

  they the jw's perceive this as really cool - ahhh new light, smug smiles.

  A great postive thread - very nice to see!

  I agree with the thoughts in the last paragraph - the need to find what gives us happiness and meaning in life, and building upon those things to move on.

  We naturally grieve in some way when we lose something. This site is a great place to grieve, heal and move on. We are all at different stages, so there is ample opportunity to help each other.
