Crisis With Singles and Single Parents Looming?

by Pathofthorns in

likely we've all noticed that on the two major jw discussion forums the most active forums are the "singles or dating" forums.. it would appear that there is an increasingly large number of single parents appearing in the congregations these days for whatever reason.. i admire these ones for the effort they put forth to bring their children up taking on the role of both parents.

from many of their comments in the "singles " forums, it appears many find being a single parent an extreme liability in "the truth" as far as finding a mate goes.

i wonder if jw culture has something to do with how these ones are viewed as prospective marriage mates vs. the mentality in the "world".. as far the single people go, there appears to be almost a certain desperation to get married, further scaring off potential mates.

path, Being a part of the JW singles, dating and courtship scene is like being a walk-on in a David
Lynch film. It's about as surreal as it gets. In my honest opinion I see very little difference in the number of the desparate to marry and desparate to divorce people in the world vs
those in the truth. We just play by a different set of rules-or should I say morals. I think many couples that have taken their relationship a little too far physically end up getting married
out of guilt or just for the sex-both wrong reasons. I am simply flat out turned-off by the whole situation.

happy to be single,

It's great to be a woman because

1. we don't need a title to be in charge of everything.. 2. we smell better.

no matter what.. 3. no matter how long it takes to get ready, guys will always wait for us.. 4. we don't consider urination to be a competitive.

sport.. 5. our friends don't pick on us if we aren't sleeping with anyone.. 6. our idea of a good movie doesn't need "debbie does..." in the title.. 7. multiple o's.. 8. we always have food in the fridge.. 9. we know stuff about everyone.. 10. we get to shop at victoria's secret.

waiting, Once again-great quote. I'll bet Mrs. Simon reads this board as well and I hope he buys her something special.

The future is now. The internet has made recruiting an uphill battle. Like Zep said:re-invent or die.[/b] The window of opportunity for true reform with it's membership still intact is getting smaller with each click of the mouse. I think weare the new witness mentality-and they are watching to see who's going to blink first.

Frenchy-Every time I hear or see a quote I like, I write it in my journal. My journal is full of quotes from waiting from the past few weeks. You never know when you'll need one. lol

Simon-Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to search Amazon for the availability of that Bible.

Frenchy-Yes, I guess it does appear that I am hard
to please, but in reality I am fairly low maintainence. If you believe that I have some swamp land for sale in________. lol

Waiting-I just don't seem to have the heartat this time for any serious Bible discussion. It's like returning to the scene of an accident-over and over again. The outcome remains the same,
there's nothing I can ever say or do to reverse the situation. Call it denial-that's probably what
it is.

To Friend-I've directed plenty of misplaced
hatred and unwarranted abuse your way lately. If you are able to read between the lines(which I know you are)you will find my apology there. I saw
so much of my android of a Father in you that I was unable to get past that, and maybe never will.
Who knows, maybe you're even a sweet guy? Now, that would be an interesting topic for debate.
