  Depend more upon the intuitive forces from within and not harken so much to that of
  outside influences--but learn to listen to that still small voice from within,
  remembering as the lesson as was given, not in the storm, the lightning, nor in any of
  the loud noises as are made to attract man, but rather in the still small voice from
  within does the impelling influence come to life in an individual that gives for that
  which must be the basis of human endeavor; for without the ability to constantly hold
  before self the ideal as is attempted to be accomplished, man becomes one as adrift,
  pulled hither and yon by the various calls and cries of those who would give of this
  world's pleasure in fame, fortune, or what not. Let these be the outcome of a life spent
  in listening to the divine from within, and not the purpose of the life.

  sexual compatability

  by Cowboy in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  this subject has been touched on by some recent threads,but not addressed directly.so here goes.....just how important is sexual compatability in a marriage or other long term relationship?should it be important enough to dissolve an existing long term relationship?or should the partners be willing to compromise their level of desire in order to keep peace?.

  my thoughts are that sex and intimacy in general are a big part of any relationship.they are necessary components in maintaining the communication,trust and happiness that is the foundation for a marriage,or other long term relationship.if sex and intimacy are absent from a relationship,eventually the rest of the relationship will erode away as well.. cowboy.

  "I would never consider entering into a marriage or long term relationship will someone I wasn't sexually compatable with. It's all part of the package of what makes us desire and ultimately fall in love. I think people realize early on in a relationship what their levels of desire are and if they are on the same page. If you are true to yourself and are up front with your partner, then it just might be forever."

  As Rob Reiners mother said in the deli scene of WHEN HARRY MET SALLY after MEG FAKES the BIG "O"

  "I 'll have what SHE Is having..........."

  brillinatly said sister!

  I would add this . Many times in relationship, especially when bound by ~paper~, we EXPECT certain components to a relationship , perhaps certain things from our partner. It is not wrong IMHO to want these items, but we may be missing the best part of what a PERSON CAN BE if we are focused on what WE need from them , instead of what they are capable of giving.

  In sexual terms, especialy in the JW or even former JW context there is much BS to get through to OPEN communication to be able to even clearly get across what you migth like or not.

  We lived in side fences before , and even with them gone , we at times stay within the boundry of where the fence use to be.

  .......enough babble!

  There has been and is ever the promise to every soul that He, thy Father, thy God, will meet thee in thy holy temple. Then accept same. Prepare self. Dedicate self; making those necessary activities for insuring self of that influence, that activity on the part of self, and there needs be little fear--ever--to enter. For he that does so doubting already invites that which would bring corruption, dissension. But he that does so in the assurance that the promises are true, the promises are thine own, in insuring self and making secure.

  If you would have friends, be friendly. If you would even have fun, make fun for someone else.
  Read the comic papers; not as to become sarcastic, no--but remember, ever, even thy Master, Jesus, could laugh in the face of the Cross. Can ye find a better example?

  When is sex acceptable

  by stephenw20 in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  can anyone comment on this.

  it appears that in our universe we have differing rules pertaining to sex being acceptable or not.. when you married , you are suppose to only have sex with your spouse.. if you are not married or have never been in a committed realtionship, it seems at a certain stage of ones life, it is either understandable or acceptable to just have or maintain a relationship that has nothing to do with anything but sex, or the closeness of another human being.. perhaps there were failed relationships that someone does not want to indulge in again , but still want to feel close to another person for a limited amount of time.. i am finding this to be acceptable not just among males but females as well in the 30-40 age range.

  we humans are a strange breed.. comments are appreciated.. ps i am quite familiar with the biblical texts... i would rather not go there on this thread/

  Scott,,welcome and thanks for the response... I thank everyone for the responses...

  I would say ~yes~! we are suppose to enjoy life, as well as expereince pain, joy ,sorrow, happiness.

  I would say we are here to #learn# .. not good or bad
  just
  period
  learn

  sex is part of that
  ..
  when you can bond with anyone
  I dont care on what level it is
  it should be valued , not ostracized.

  if we are open to who people ~are~ as opposed to who we need them to be

  what else can be more spiritual and more of a compliment ...

  we acknowlege another being on this earth, created and put here by the same force as got us here.........

  acknowleging that person , acknowleges that source of life......
