Only a few days ago I was entirely lost and without hope the rug was pulled out from under me

only a few days ago i was walking around the house in a mindless wander thinking if i needed to seek professional help.

then i got the courage to seek the comfort of complete strangers on the internet and found a world of support here on this website.

thank you simon and whoever else has made this website possible.

I am so happy for you! This is a rare result, but, nonetheless, the one we all keep dreaming about around here.

Welcome to the rest of your life.

genuine english guy seeking jw lady

by english_gentleman in

hi, i believe that a lady is put on earth to satisfy the needs of her partner and respect his views in all matters.. i realize some here may consider that old fashioned and not based on sexual equality.. yet a lady and man are not created equal because the lady gives birth and the man must sire many children.

if you are a lady under 30 and keen to meet me, willing to cook and breed, then please message me here.

please do not contact me if you disagree with my views, we can agree to differ.

GrreatTeacher

Good news, genuine English guy, I have been perusing the personals and have found what I believe to be the perfect match:

"I am looking for the perfect man, a genuine provider who will support me with a generous paycheck while I stay at home to "clean." Must be able to cook and be willing to take care of multiple children in the evenings and on weekends. Be assured that you will get sex on at least 3 occasions as I want 3 children. Please don't expect it at other times, though, as I will be exhausted from texting my friends all day. Must be willing to sign a pre-nup agreement and be happy over the years if I "let myself go." Lets retire together!"

If you are interested, pm me and I will forward her personal information.

Evolution is a Fact #26 - Colour Vision

by cofty in

each little flower that opens,each little bird that sings,he made their glowing colours,he made their tiny wings.. all of us have been moved by the riot of colours in a spring meadow, the majesty of a sunset or the beauty of a bird in breeding plumage.

what greater evidence could there be of a loving creator than our colourful world and the human eye that is equipped to appreciate it?.

this is the sort of simplistic argument that convinces a lot of creationists about their beliefs.. it's time to "unweave the rainbow".. light is detected by a proteins called opsins.

GrreatTeacher

Haha! It does serve us right, doesn't it?

American digest version: Magna Carta, blah, blah, blah, Feudalism, blah, blah, blah, Shakespeare, blah, blah, blah, the Puritans, blah, blah, blah, and then straight onto the Revolution!

And, sometimes in the advanced version, there's a little bit about the silliness of Henry VIII. :P

Can we just clear up the fact that "ignorant" is not an insult?

It simply means not having knowledge about something.

I'm perfectly ignorant on the subject of British history. It doesn't mean that I'm stupid or that I couldn't learn it, just that I never have had to learn it during my American schooling.

Gossiping

by Sabin in

friends

so last night we had some friends around for dinner, (not jw) & it was a really wonderful evening.

we talked about a variety of subjects, just had a laugh & drunk wine & beer.

this morning my husband & i were talking about how nice it was, how free we felt with our opinions.

GrreatTeacher

There's a tattletale policy. You turn someone in and it makes you look better and more spiritual.

Gossiping provides the opportunity to find out dirt on someone.

Animals were created without needing Toilet Paper ... but not Man ... Why???

by RubaDub in

my dog and other pets do their "business" and run away and are happy.. man does not have that luxury.

any thoughts on why animals were created with the "poop and go" capacity while man has to go through more steps?

was this perhaps an additional issue that god added on when adam and eve sinned (such as eve having significant more birth pains)?

GrreatTeacher

Oh, dude, they DO need toilet paper!

I used to have a long-haired cat with dingleberries.

When I took her to the groomers, I had to ask them to shave her butt!

They acted like it was an everyday request and didn't even charge extra.

Leaving jw propaganda all around the house, what to do?

by Crazyguy in

the wife leaves it all around, not sure if this is by design i don't think so since the return to jah brochure was never left out.

it drives me a bit nuts but haven't done anything about it.

looking for ideas on what i should do?

GrreatTeacher

I would just pick them all up and stack them in some obscure corner of the office in the name of tidying up.

Wives love when their husbands pitch in on the tidying!

Ladies: Circumcision or not?

by Wonderment in

the topic of circumcision has been brought up a few times recently.

then i wondered... .

how do women really view circumcision?

GrreatTeacher

Circumcision gained popularity in the US during WWII. American soldiers were circumcised in a bid to prevent "venereal disease."

Then they came home and when they had sons of their own felt a strange need that son should look like Daddy, so circumcised them and it became popular for several decades.

Finally it was figured out that circumcision wasn't really all that effective at preventing sexually transmitted infections, but the trend was to cut.

It is slowly getting less popular in the US, but there is still a lot of talk about people being worried that son would look different than daddy which I really don't understand.

When my son was little and brought this up, my husband just told him the truth, "The doctor cut the end off when I was a baby." Son felt bad for his dad that he had a bad doctor that would do something like that! Easy peasy.

GrreatTeacher

I'm an American and I did not have my son circumcised. My opinion was that I was sick as a dog for the 9 months it took to grow him, so I wasn't letting anybody cut any part of his little body off.

Also, the American Academy of Pediatrics found no benefit for it and could not recommended it.

My husband is circumcised, but did his research on the subject. Watching a circumcision performed and the screaming that resulted on the internet put him in the firm NO camp, too.

My son is 14 years old now and has not requested a circumcision, so I think we made the right decision. :)
