by krismalone in

the governing body has lovingly provided instructions and reminders to couples that they should pray before having sex.

please be obedient and follow the wise counsel from the gb leaders who never stick their noses into other peoples business and are not creepy cult leaders at all....not!.

"had he not created the first human pair so that they could cohabit, planted in them an attraction for each other and then commanded them to "be fruitful and become many"?

Bathe before and after, straight missionary, no foreplay, woman is not supposed to enjoy it;

Prayer should be for forgiveness and better self control.

True. My marriage is a support system both ways. But sex did indeed have a part in our desires and was a VERY enjoyable part of it. But 15 to 30 minutes once or twice a day, and later less frequent is not alk there is.

For any singles here ask yourself if the mate married someone else would you still wish her/ him well? That helps to see a bigger picture

Did You Know Any "Genuine"" Old School Anointed?

by Number 6 in

growing up in scotland in the 1970s in scotland the anointed were few and far between, but we had one old dude in our cong who claimed to be one of the anointed.

in the days when it was taken seriously.. i'd be curious how you viewed them.

thing is, he wasn't an elder, or even a ministerial servant, just a plain old publisher.. but he was revered like he had a hotline to jesus.. the other week i was talking to a friend of similar age to me but who hung around the wt a lot longer than i did, and he just commented "oh him... he was a doddery old fool who used to just sit and piss himself.

I knew some. Way different than any now, sincere in their belief AND humility.

Late comers were pompous asses, got together with other "annointed" to talk about their hope and insight in unauthorized meetings. Some actively recruited others for heaven. Every one questioned their sanity. One stated that if they partook unworthily they would just fall back to earthly class; so i guess we all should have a drink and cracker. LOL

Department Store Santa Claus - Do They Still Exist?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

i remember when stores would advertise that santa claus would be there from 2-4 pm on a saturday or something for several weeks before christmas.

you would see them everywhere.. do they still exist in your area?.

maybe parents finally realized that having a drunk guy with a white beard getting his jollies off with young children on his lap was not a good idea.. just my thoughts.

Thats got to be one of the best Christmas stories ever

JW views on saving and retirement

by neat blue dog in

probably one of the most common causes of cognitive dissonance many jws face is the choice to plan for retirement.

if you're a good jw, then you should believe that the end will be coming soon, surely before you retire.

that's what i did when i was younger, blowing decades that could've been better spent because i believed the end was coming, so any planning was a waste of time.

That money you would never see would just be thrown in the street, so who cares.

Brought to you by the same ones who downsize from a mansion to luxury apartment and sell their " small" business.

Demand? We don't tell elders our true thoughts, elders dont tell the CO , i assume the CO tells his boss what he wants to hear.

There are few if any of the elite couch surfing like I remember in the 50s and 60s. I think they really think the average jw lives in a mansion

Getting locked into the education taboo means low paying jobs. Even without pioneering.

local, strange jw thinking

by lancelink in

i was reading today that the last star wars movie will be playing next week.

doing a little searching, i found that there have been 12 movies in the saga total, ( box office, total (12 films): $9.323 billion.)..

it got me thinking about when the empire strikes back came out, it was the second movie ( 1980).

Strange and JW in same phrase. Need I say more?

We do want to hang on to parts of the world.

Wasnt star wars violent, contrary to the JW view of the universe?

Need to vent. I am thinking of leaving my wife.

by goingthruthemotions in

i am so sick of this cult, this religion has such a grip on her.

since i left in 2014, things just are getting progressively worse.

and she it's just getting deeper and deeper.

That divorce thing. Separation is the recommended course for spiritual endangerment. Usually encourage adultery. The elders support and advice depends on how hot your wife is and if any of them think they are in a position to make a move.
