  Deleteandrestart, self-flagellation, indeed.

  This is quite masochistic. Some people get off on that stuff.

  I really think it is sexual sublimation

  Oh, that reminds of the horror of having seats in the middle of the aisle.

  When you have to exit the row to use the restroom, is the polite way facing away or facing toward the people you are trying to squeeze in front of?

  If you face toward them, it feels awkward, but if you face away, you pretty much stick your butt in their face!

  This always produced some lively conversation and was never quite settled!

  Were you a face in-ner or a face out-er?

  “Even if this wasn’t the Truth, I need the structure.”

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember many years back a fellow ministerial servant saying this to me.

  he felt that even if jehovah’s witnesses were not the only true religion, the regimented routine of meetings and field service and the strict rules and enforcement provided a beneficial structure for his life.

  at the time i thought if this wasn’t “the truth”, i’d have no need for all that “structure”.

  It's true; some people need more structure than others. You see that in the classroom from a really young age.

  You also expect progress on that front, too. For example, independent use of checklists or daily organizers is the goal, though, in the meantime, it might require daily signatures from parents and teachers. By middle school, only selected students should still need this kind of help.

  If you're an adult and still haven't learned how to provide structure to yourself, you might join a highly structured cult...or you may decide to join thd military...or you may just decide to get a 9-5 job.

  One of the privileges of adulthood is you get to choose. But, know yourself, first. Know what you are good at and know what you still need help with.

  But, choose a positive option.

  "I'm in a cult cause I need structure," doesn't cut it.

  I haven't watched it, but let me guess: when people can't support themselves in old age due to giving everything to the cult, don't call on the cult for help, call on their children.

  ok, ok, so the actual title of the article released today on jw-org is "young people askshould i get a tattoo?

  ", but i thought i'd replace some words and phrases from the actual article, as follows:"regardless of the motive, you should think long and hard before deciding to have anything growing out of .

  your skin!

  So sorry to hear of this.

  There's a really helpless feeling when you face a natural disaster. We've faced several hurricanes and it's terrifying as you watch it barrel down on you and there's nothing you can do but flee...and then wait it out.

  My condolences on losing a pet. They are members of the family and heartbreaking to lose.

  My kind thoughts are with all affected.

  Nonjwspouse, okay, I understand the local honey thing now. It's because the bees are making the honey from the local flora and that is what you're allergic to?

  Mini allergy shots, that is funny!

  Yes, Safe, it seems I'm going to survive...miss a few days of work, hack into a few pillowcases, ignore the housework, but, yes, I will survive to make another mortgage payment!

  My husband just juiced some fresh fruits and vegetables, so I'm drinking this disgusting looking green slop, but it actually tastes very good and I'm sure it's full of good vitamins as well as hydrating me.

  Just fine, I'm going to look for some Braggs next time I'm at the grocery store. I actually love vinegar, anyhow; on french fries, in potato salad, in red beet soup, on greens, etc.

  Definitely in the vinegar camp in the vinegar vs. ketchup debate for french fries.

  Mmm, I can just taste those boardwalk fries right now...
