How about David and Jonathon standing back to back and fighting?
The part about Samson i do believe is he (and David) was a womanizer.

Samson kills 1,000 Philistine military men with a donkey's jawbone...I think not!
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 37. rely on jehovah, as samson did.
4 consider an example of samson’s trust in jehovah and of the support that god supplied.
on one occasion, a philistine military force had come to capture samson at lehi, evidently in judah.

a pet peeve of mine
by enoughisenough inputting this under "friends" because i couldn't figure out where to put it.
it is very often on here and in ex jw videos, ect that people like to undermine some of those who once we would have called friends.
there seems to be a view that window washers, plumbers, cleaners, construction workers are somehow less intelligent than those who may be college educated.

My elder leader is helpless. I have to aid him. The real help comes from neighbors, secular organizations, churches,police/ fire, National guard
Remember to stop digging in the rubble for meetings!

JW Marriages - Loophole in wedding vows
by Finally-Free innot being raised as a jw, i went to many church weddings, mostly in catholic churches.
all the times i went to jw weddings i thought it unusual that they had their own vows, much different from the wedding vows used elsewhere.
i remembered jws mentioning "divine temination" of marriages to me and thought the vows reflected that thought.

Not really. In my state it is the signed and witnessed license. The vows could be: "I knowthere will be problems, but I love her/him"
I knew an elder who would not perform weddings because they " might" fail. No mention of fornication because of being denied.

True, I still look at marriage partly as an economic deal. My wife needed things I could offer, I admired her commitment to family. We were not extravagant in youth, still not.
Sex with a beautiful hot woman certainly helped

40 minutes of advice we already know.
But weddings are not nearly as bad as funeral talks, or for that matter the usual sunday drivel
The old belief from anti marriage leaders was there would be no need for procreation after armageddon hence no marriages

How did you pass the time when the Kingdom Hall meetings became boring and repetitive/
by RULES & REGULATIONS inanother boring and repetitive ''watchtower study.
'' all the articles are about the ''faithful and discreet slave.''.
for whatever reason, you tolerate this for years.

I downplay events, or plain lie about them to son. He is welcome in our home, and daughters. He will never " return" because of the jerks he had to deal with. I would quit save for the impact on wife

The currently missing 'Titan' submarine. What do you think?
by SydBarrett inany opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.
terrifying.
what's your gut feeling?

Oxygen ran out today according to news. Tragedies are easy to find. Remember, you can be disfellowshipped for taking a submarine ride.
