Ginger or Mary Anne?

by crownboy in

jw
friends

no doubt one of the most ask questions ever.

no matter what age you are (in my case fairly young), you've seen gilligan's island, and heard the inevitable argument (especially amoung men), who do you prefer better: ginger or mary anne.. well, i decided to bring the debate here to jw.com, see if there's an (ex) jw consensus on the issue.. my personal favourite is mary anne, by the way.

they were both very attractive, but mary anne's personalty was more down to earth (or naive) to me, and i find that more desirable.

TheRecordCollector

LOL!! I haven't seen Gilligan's Island in YEARS! I watched the show primarily because it was (supposidly) filmed in the Pacific, and I've always loved the Pacific. Yes, I know....back lot at UA.

Dawn was always my favorite. Tina was just too "Marilyn Monroe" for me.

You're only 39?

Newbie here with questions.

by AjaxMan in

i am a newbie here.

i am not a jw, never was and i don't think i will ever be.

my last statement is due to the fact that i did read a lot of posts from this forum and about the jws in other sites.

TheRecordCollector

Ajax...refer to what I told BlueMoon in his post "What do JW's do New Years Eve".

You'll find it just below this post.

Good luck my friend

what do jw's do on new years eve nite?

by bluemoon33604 in

i met a great woman who is a jw.

she drinks some.

she likes whiskey.

TheRecordCollector

QUESTION: Do You really LOVE this woman?

I mean do you REALLY "LOVE" this woman......

If you do, then go the distance. If she means the world to you,
If you love her enough to go through a living hell, do it.

Hopefully, the woman you're interested in,
is not a witness "born & raised", the way mine is. She's 49 now.

It's been a living hell for me...but I love her, I pray for her well-being and salvation; And I will not give-up.

Good luck to you my friend.

Suicide Is Painless

by TheRecordCollector in

through early morning fog i see, visions of the thing's to be,.

the thing's that are witheld for me, i realize that i can see,.

the game of love is hard to play, .

TheRecordCollector

Well, I couldn't go through with it. She means too much to me.

What stopped me?:
My love for her. If I had gone through with it, she would have found out that she was the cause of it, and that would break her heart.
I couldn't do that to her.
I know what some of you are saying, but yes, she DOES have a heart.

I apperciate how some of you feel about me, (((((((((( ))))))))))),
and I appreciate your concern. But Debi is not mean. A brat yes!, but not mean. Just been alot of mis-understandings. And besides, Someone, I don't know who, someone she thinks is a credible source, is telling her things about me that simply are not true. And not being able to talk to her, I can't tell her any different.

Through early morning fog I see, visions of the thing's to be,
The thing's that are witheld for me, I realize that I can see,
That suicide is painless, it bring's on many changes,
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of love is hard to play,
Gonna lose it anyway, the losing card I now have layed,
So this is all I have to say.

Suicide is painless, it bring's on many changes,
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The sword of love has pierce my heart,
It doesn't hurt when it begins,
But as it work's it's way on in,
The pain grows stronger, hear me scream.

Suicide is painless, it brings on many changes,
And I can take or leave it if I please.

To Debi,
With all my love

All it took

by wonderwoman77 in

tonight at work (i work on at an information and referral network called the helpline) i had the best call.

it was all it took to restore in me my desire to be an occupational therapist and my desire to be a good person.

this guy called in with a traumatic brain injury as result of a car accident.

What Should I Do (JW that Mentions Birthday)?

by Free Eagle in

i have become somewhat friendly with a jw lady (i am also a woman and have gotten to know her over the past four years).

i am unsure of her status in the religion.

i am not a jw but have educated myself regarding jw customs, etc.... in conversation we found we were born in the same month, and she told me when her birthday was.

TheRecordCollector

I agree with Xena.

Looking for some friends

by nishayd in

i am looking for some people to talk to.

i have no friends and i do know why.

people are very judgmental about the way i look.

TheRecordCollector

Nishayd....

I would like very much to be your friend. First of all, Jesus said "judge RIGHTEOUS judgement". People have NO RIGHT to judge you on the way you look.

I'm looking for friends too. Nishayd, I realize that religion is a personal choice, but, and I say this in love, I recommend that you NOT join the witnesses!

It is a religous cult. It is the ULTIMATE in mind-control. I have a very dear friend...a precious woman, that Watchtower has stolen her mind, her body and her soul.

PLEASE...be VERY careful! It is UNPHATHOMABLE the way They can twist scripture. Like the bible says "they 'WREST' the scriptures" to their own destuction. WREST meaning to twist, to pervert.

Sounds to me like you've had some bad experiences with some religions... Just because someone "says" they are a Christian, doesn't nesessarily mean that they are. I should also tell you, that I personally do not believe in denominations. Get a copy of the King James bible, and study it for yourself. Accept Jesus Christ as your saviour, pray for guidence..he will give it to you, if you'll listen.

I'd like to add my welcome to the site. I'm having some tough times right now myself, the person I told you about who is a witness, I love very dearly. One of the most difficult things a person can ever experience, is to see the person you'd give your life for, be swallowed up by the Jehovahs witness/watchtower cult.
I cry for her. She's precious.

You need UNconditional love & UNconditional friendship...those qualities are unfamiliar to JW's. And TRUE "salvation" "is not of works, lest any man should boast." Salvation cannot be "earned". All you have to do is "repent", and accept Christ.

The other day at work, I asked a JW for the diffinition of a cult...
she quoted to me from C.T. Russell's
"Reasoning from the scriptures"! What a contradiction of interest!
It reminds me of the verse in the bible (KJV),
"They that judge themselves BY themselves are not wise."
Please take note.

Keep in touch.
I wish you the very best.
