  does looks really matter in love?

  would you go out with someone who was not physically attractive if he/she had a big heart on the inside, a great personality, lot's of things in common with, etc...i guess i'm asking what's more important to you the person on the exterior or who he/she really is underneath?.

  Shari,
  Sorry to keep this thread going. Hope you two resolve this. But if not, there is a book, I think it is called Toxic People or Toxic friends. Has some excellent suggestions on weeding out people in our lives who serve no good purpose.
  Good Luck!!

  Just adding my voice, take all threats seriously and take necessary precautions. I would definitely report it to the police.

  Interesting question! Deep. I don't think there is a simple answer to this.
  As many on this board already know, Thinker and I met over the internet. We knew each other a short ten days before we met and we haven't been apart since. We fell in love with each others souls. We agreed that we didn't want to exchange pics.
  I was a little more concerned with looks than Thinker. I knew beyond any doubt that I already loved him. But after living with an ex husband for almost seventeen years who did nothing for me in the looks dept. I was a little nervous.
  Interestingly enough, our love was true, after an initial few minutes of adjustment, when we saw each other, I became totally crazy about all of Thinker. He just rings my bell. Every day we are together, I fall more deeply in love with him. To me he is the most beautiful man I have ever seen and he feels the same about me.
  I don't know if this helps answer the question or not. But I believe strongly that if you truly fall in love with a person, you fall in love with all of them.

  Dearest Mindchild,
  I am so sorry for your pain. I am sure that you realize from therapy that anger is a proper feeling to go through.
  One thing I would like to mention that my couselor drilled into my head and that has helped me tremendously is : It is OK to feel how you feel. No one can tell you how to feel or take away how you feel. It is OK. Anger is a step you must take to work through the problem.
  Now if a person remains angry forever, then it is a problem. At some point you must work through it and move on. Learning to manage it and channel it is a definite step in the right direction.
  Good luck Mind Child!! Sounds like you are moving in the right direction!!

  My Story

  by Kep in

  2. experiences

  my mother and grandmother are dubs, so it was a part of my life from the start.

  both my dad and grandfather weren't, so it was what they call a divided household.. that sucked coz, after the meeting we were hurried off home to please the unbelieving mate.. so i never got to have real friends at the meetings and never had any activities outside of school.. as i got older i began to fit in with the school mates but felt restrained as we always had meetings to go to.. to cut a long story short, i got baptised when i was 18, had trouble keeping on top of meetings and witnessing etc.... i went weak, then inactive, found myself a girlfriend, non-witness, talked her thru the issues and problems i was going thru and so she decided to study.. we got married, she was baptised and things were going good.. as they were always pushing at assemblies to pioneer we felt we had to do that.. so as our circumstances allowed, she began pioneering.. you know, i look back and can say there was so much pressure put on couples who didn't have a family to seek first the kingdom.. as i had a checkered past according to some in the congo, it was a battle to attain privilidges.

  but i worked at it, i would auxillary pioneer each year and use my vacation time to do it, brown nose the co each time he visited, and bend over backwards to do anything the elders wanted done.. and as time passed i became a ministerial servant.. then in order for me to become an elder i had to really work my ass off.. so i did, i sorted things out so i could also become a regular pioneer.. after 18 months of doing that plus continually working hard for the org i was appointed elder.. my family was stoked.. i had a sister whose husband had also been appointed elder, my other sister was a regular pioneer and my brother was living with me and doing as much as he could.

  Kep,
  Welcome to the board. And thank you for pouring your heart out. You will find that the more you are able to express yourself the more the poisons are expunged from your soul.
  Not to minimize anyone's heartache, but every time I read a personal account of someones woes with the org. I am amazed with the similiar feelings and thoughts that we go through. It is a truly damaging religion. Thumbs up to anyone who can see it for what it is, get out, and move on with their lives.
  Good Luck Kep and all. Hope to hear more from you soon.
