  Pray before sex just like you do for food-W62 3/15

  by krismalone in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the governing body has lovingly provided instructions and reminders to couples that they should pray before having sex.

  please be obedient and follow the wise counsel from the gb leaders who never stick their noses into other peoples business and are not creepy cult leaders at all....not!.

  "had he not created the first human pair so that they could cohabit, planted in them an attraction for each other and then commanded them to "be fruitful and become many"?

  him: may her mouth continue to be worthy of the staff it will receive

  her: may his wise use of the tongue continue to be truly satisfying

  Amen.

  So how are they going to proclaim peace and security when in the last days the kings of the North and the South are to be engaged in battle?

  It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

  Charles Dickens (et al.) would be proud of your comments.

  Good job man, good job. Excellent commentary.

  Department Store Santa Claus - Do They Still Exist?

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember when stores would advertise that santa claus would be there from 2-4 pm on a saturday or something for several weeks before christmas.

  you would see them everywhere.. do they still exist in your area?.

  maybe parents finally realized that having a drunk guy with a white beard getting his jollies off with young children on his lap was not a good idea.. just my thoughts.

  Back to the subject at hand........

  We aren't referring to using one's hand, but rather prostitution.

  U must’ve been in a good part of Costa Rica

  Min ...

  We were in San Jose and driving around all of the volcanos and coffee plantations.

  But some very pretty women in San Jose. Apparently, a lot come from neighboring Nicaragua also, at least that's what my wife was explaining to me.

  They sold our beautiful Assembly Hall here in South Florida (Fort Lauderdale area) a few years ago to an Evangelical Church. I can't tell you how many hours I volunteered in doing maintenance and kept it looking like a jewel here on the edge of the Everglades (and chasing out the occasional alligator that would find its way into the pond in the front).

  Folks, you need to grow a pair. Accept the consequences. Butch up. This isn't your father's JW religion.

  Many countries such as Netherlands and Costa Rica have it legalized.

  When traveling to either one of these countries, I never noticed anything really different than here in the US. The exception is, it is legal.

  Nice looking women though, if I may say it. (In Costa Rica, even my wife said, wow!).

  Stupid armageddon false alarms

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was 5/6 i remember being in the car with my jw mom and a jw sister.

  they noticed a yellow ish glowing cloud in the sky which really freaked them out and they both declared that it must be a sign that armageddon was here!

  they then spent the whole car trip declaring that the police and army were about to come and round up all of us.

  Don't be so negative.

  The end is just around the corner.

  It will happen soon, very soon. In fact, sooner than soon.

  The Holidays Are No Big Deal Anymore

  you used to hear christmas music blaring on every radio station.

  not anymore.

  people used to jam the roadways and malls to do their christmas shopping and now it’s no big deal.

  I don't know where you live but in the USA most places I go its all over. Radio, TV, signs and in stores.

  Jimmy Young ...

  I think, at least in this context, that it is nothing like it used to be. Christmas music was blasting everywhere, Christmas specials on TV all over the place (even as a JW, I can't tell you how many times I watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer specials).

  Here in South Florida, other than malls wanting you to buy stuff, it seems nothing like it used to be.

  Upon learning of a terminal illness would you return to being a JW to appease your family?

  by NVR2L8 in

  this is an hypothetical question...i am doing well.

  but i was thinking about how my jw family, grandchildren and all will feel when their inactive grandfather dies with no hope of being reunited in paradise.

  of course there would be immediate rejoicing if i came back to the "truth" and a surge of conditional love from the "friends".

  Don't we still teach that death paves the highway to the new system?

  I think it is still taught that there is "hope" of a resurrection.

  I am still in, but I have heard that it is better for a person to die in that condition than be alive at Armageddon.

  But then, hitting a few meetings at the end would make everyone happy I guess.

  Win One for the Gipper.
