as a young dub in the 80's me along with many of my friends got married, either in our teens or early 20's.. in my area, if you were over 25 and not married, it was percieved that something was wrong with you or you were probably engaging in sex with a "worldly" person.. by why did so many of us feel the need to get married so young?.
i believe it was because of one of three reasons.. 1. you wanted to get out of your parets home.. 2. you had already gone "too far" with you girlfriend or boyfriend.. 3. you were just an average normal teenager and you knew this was the only way you could legally have sex.. .
was this true in your area?.
I never got married to anyone at the hall THANK GOD. I was certainly pressured to... however, I would have given Lorena Bobbit a chainsaw then spent the night with her before I'd ever marry a JW girl because most of them have family trees you do NOT want to climb.
when I have more time I'll tell you all how I really feel.
PS - if I ever found the right woman I'd love to get married.
i just learned that one of my grandsons (whom i've never met) will be baptized on saturday.
he will be twelve in november.
what's happening within the publishing company to inspire this sort of thing?
A girl I know was baptized at age 9.
continue following me john 21:19. much of the program was similar to the previous two days.
the fact that jesus has appeared in almost every talk title suggests that the society is once again morphing its tactics to persuade more persons that they arent an old testament cult but an alternative christian denomination.. i repeat my previous assertion that there is a manipulative intelligence at work here.
no ordinary person could possible have such foresight and such knowledge of human behavior to think and write the things these watchtower writers do.
Being in the truth can be incredible exciting!
LOL
many, like dawkins, think that religion is the root of all evil.
hypothetically, if all religion was eliminated and all people stopped believing how would you see the world in a few years?
with atheism on the rise do you think that society will improve or deteriorate?.
I'd see a much better world to live in IMHO

i just bought a new computer...........a pricy one at that!
the one i bought says it has 4 gb of ram.
when i check............it says 3.24 gb.
The reason you're having this problem is because 32-bit Windows XP can only see a little over 3GB (between 3GB-3.5GB usually) of ram because of the limitations of the 32-bit address space...the extra ram that XP isn't showing is used for system resources like PCI in/out. In order for XP to see the full 4GB you'd have to get Windows XP 64-bit version or 64-bit Vista, etc...

religion is just a man-made concoction so the religions just add and delete teachings when they want as this example illustrates.
