...but I like your thinking / Installing Husband 1.0

by Hope4Others in

i like your thinking.

a teacher asks her class, if there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?

then little johnny says, i have a question for you.

I can think of little more sensuous than to help a woman distillate all her fantasies, arrange for them to happen within a simultaneous timeframe, and be included!

I like your thinking!

i am supreme!.

you may bask in my reflected glory..

So what I am to infer from this is I have a loooong way to go before I'm a Supreme One? Shlt, I ain't gonna last that long. I already have half the posters here pissed off at me for my political views.....the other half, I've turned off with my sexual comments. What's a poor girl with no life to do? I'm bored with trolling CraigsList.

Do you feel reading through the bible in the past has benefited you at all?

by Hope4Others in

putting the doctrine aside do you feel it has given you any advantages?

case in point my son posts on university sites and often the topic about the bible.

and god come up.

No desire to read the Bible cover to cover. There are better works of fiction to be read.

Anyone taking Topamax?

by BrentR in

this is by far the most horrible bizzare med i have ever taken.

do the side effects diminish with time?

i can't get any straight answers from the neuro.

I am afraid to take it but the headaches are getting so bad, I might reconsider.

The end of marriage?

by BurnTheShips in

from a piece in a london publication:.

the proportion of men and women getting married is below any level found since figures were first kept nearly 150 years ago.. and the number of weddings held in 2006 was the smallest since 1895, when the population was little more than half its present level.. the evidence that marriage is withering away at an increasing pace was met with a furious response from critics of labour's benefits system, which disregards the status of husbands and wives and pays parents extra to stay single.

the causes of the collapse of marriage range from the rise in the western world of a highly individualistic ethic, to a profound shift in moral and religious attitudes, to the sexual revolution, to the widespread use of abortion and the pill, to changes in law, among other things.

I agree about the fear men have of losing everything during a divorce; worse yet, some women have resorted to false accusations in order to keep the man out of their lives and the lives of their children.

I also agree about the sex bit; but men don't much seem to care to continue dating women who hold out on them. I agree that many men feel if you can get sex without the commitment, why marry? But there are always those who WANT to be married when they start having children - for the sake of the children.

I am not married and my man has no intention of marrying me. This used to bother me but now, I just don't care. If Jehovah wants to kill me at Armegeddon for this, he can knock himself out. Commitment is commitment with or without a ring. Having one did not stop my first husbands from leaving.

The men's rights activists will tell you it's because men are afraid of marriage these days. But then, some of them are big on marrying Asian women (and the odd Russian, but Asians are the preference), so that allegation doesn't hold too much water. For the record, I'm right with the MRAs on a LOT of things, but when they get silly and hateful (against American and British women), they can count me out.

I love Glenn Sacks; I'll bet anything he picks up on this article. If he does, I'll post the link here and you can see for yourself how some men feel about marriage and why SOME of them SHOULD NOT be married - they're babies, plain and simple. I pity the Asian women these guys finally con into marrying them.

How women are treated

by newbiedoobiedoo in

i share a little tid bit.

my cong was always trying to tell men how to run their wives.

i get a little money from my dad for medical prob, here comes elders telling my hubby to 'make me' donate it to buy new chairs for hall.

You people are ~~fortunate~~ lucky. You had husbands in the "truth". There's nothing lower in the congregation than a woman married to a "worldly" man - at least the single women are up for grabs. Well, let me qualify that - if you're old and single and not so good looking, you're less than dirt as well.

With no husband, I was told the "elders" were my head. Nice one. So now, in addition to the abusive sh*t I had for a husband, I had 9 meddling elders to whom I was supposed to answer.
