Are women more beautiful than men?

by Vita Nuova in

jw
friends

all things being being equal, is the feminine gender endowed with more trancendent beauty than the masculine?

before sending any stock replies like, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," let me just say that i acknowledge some degree of relative beauty insofar as man and woman bear their own distinctive perfections.

but consider specifically which sex seems to bear more inherent grace to the end that it inspires our sense of harmony and desire to be more perfect ourselves.

They are from where I'm sitting.

New policy about appointing elders

by XQsThaiPoes in

.

a po i know said that now the wts makes them do back ground checks and ask every congo the person has ever attended approve them before the send the letter to the wts.

i think this could be because of the child abuse thing.

"I guess the Holy Spirit isn't appointing elders anymore (tongue in cheek)" LoL ! That is an excellant point.

Elder Pleads For Money For Local Needs Talk!

my mother was telling me how the elder went up on the platform and said how we can't pass donation plates around, we can't sell cookies or do bake drives, we pretty much can't beg for money.

then he said that at the risk of getting himself in trouble, it needed to be said that they don't know what they're going to do, but they need money and contributions.

my mother said that there are very few donating money and the congregation is in continual debt plus all the wealthier people have stopped going....i thought of metatron and knew he'd be delighted to hear another testimonial.

Let me get this straight ( I left long before the tax avoidence...errr donation arrangment took effect) ... a publisher has to "buy" the literature then sell... err place the literature (assuming he found a sympathetic housholder) and finally remit the proceeds to the Borg?

you know those people who pepper their conversations with phrases that were fashionable once but now - it's just plain annoying!.

probably the phrases travel the world.

"at the end of the day".

TonyT

I know its already been posted but I have to go with "It's all good", naturally being used when the situation sucks.

in another post someone mentioned americans loving micro beers - and i thought about beers i drink and why.

i drink budweiser on occasion because they sponsor events i like.

i drink miller high life on occation just because of the great 'lone man talking' commercials.

There's nothing like a BridgePort India Pale Ale on a hot summer day.

now that should be fun.. hubby and i have not been to a meeting or associating in any way for 2 years now, we get shunned for that!.

anyhow, this x dub and his never-been-a-dub wife...............he left his dub wife (can't blame him really)...........are people we enjoy spending time with.

after hubby and i left the borg we have got together a few times and shared wine, laughter and stories of how the wts has hurt us.. tonight i got a call from his wife inviting us to his surprise birthday dinner at a fantastic restaurant on the weekend.
