  Thank you Blondie. What a sham! They talk a good game, but that's all it is...TALK! Talk is cheep and so are the J-dud masters, and in turn the RF! Oportunistic, emotionally void, parasites! and I can relate to all the other post here too! Been there and experienced that! How God dishonoring! Maverick

  Fixations

  by onacruse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i went to college several years ago, we had (as i suspect is usually the case) a college-sponsored newspaper; articles written by the students, for the students.. there was one writer who absolutely had it in for the president of the college; the pres couldn't even sneeze without this writer making a big issue about it in next week's paper.

  i happened to have a personal relationship with the president; he was a former jesuit, and we had several interesting conversations about theology, etc.

  one thing he told me was that he just couldn't understand why this writer had such a fixation: they had never even met!.

  Maybe this person, the one with the fixation, had no good close friends. A good friend will let you know when you are going overboard about a cause or a person. People who have little interaction with people can 'get lost' in the image of the fixation subject. They rarely know the subject, because if they did they would see it is very different than the image they had made up in their head. Or maybe this guy was a wack-job. What do I know! Maverick

  Well Viv, today is my birthday and I wanted to thank you for responding to my short guy question. Funny comment about being a giant...When I see a tall, well figured lady, my first though is'"time to get my mountain climbing gear on!" I guess the key to this all for me is, as an artist, I look at the unque beauty in all women. That is what I focus on, not the flaws, but that which makes this person special and attractive. To me your most attractive element, and you have many to choose from, is your honesty. Honesty means trust to me. This makes me comfortable and at ease. And a man values being comfortable. Maverick

  Remember JW's saying about doing "Sacred Service?", and other issues >>>

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in other words, sacred "feild service" to jehovah.

  does anyone else remember people using this phrase - sacred service??

  while to be honest, i have nothing against spreading your beliefs door to door (hey, it's a free country), i never quite got the whole idead behind having to do it, or else!

  This 'Service' was sacred for the publishing company, not God! The WatchTower dictated what is sacred over and beyond the good book. A side from the term 'bible study' nothing on a time slip is asked of Chirstians in the Bible. And the WT inserts their books to be studied with the Bible. Also works that Jesus followers were encouraged to do, such as look after widows and fatherless boys, depressed souls, and those in need are not listed as sacred service! The WatchTower corporation is total BS! Maverick

  I took up sword fighting, (Foil) just as I was starting to go to the Hall. I really liked it. It was like Ball Room Dancing, which I did, only lethal! I was thinking of taking it up again. Maverick

  ants fight wars.

  i dont know if any of you know this, but this came as a supprise to me.

  ants employ propaganda, deception, and skilled surveillance and mass assaults singly or in combination to overcome their enemies.

  What religion are you now?

  by Michalea in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've struggled with wanting to be 'something' mostly probably to fill that hole that was left and to try and belong somewhere, anywhere really.

  so i've tried penecostal, presbyterian, united churches but they all seem fake.

  i always compared everything to the jw's, and didn't even realize it.

  I'm a member of the "God is the Great Artist" sect. And His most elegant work of art is the female form. I was going for a Masters in studying that art form! I hope I never graduate, I was thinking of going to 'audit' and starting over! Maverick

  The ups and downs of being a short guy

  by Maverick in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recognized at a young age that most women prefer men that are taller than themselves.

  i read somewhere that this is in part due to taller men make women feel safe and feminine.

  makes sense to me.

  I recognized at a young age that most women prefer men that are taller than themselves. I read somewhere that this is in part due to taller men make women feel safe and feminine. Makes sense to me. I have dated a 'few' ladies in my time and all but two were taller than me, I am 5'5". The average, if I was to guess, was about 5'9". Only two were shorter than me, one English and one Chinese and it felt kinda strange bending down to hug!

  Now my question, Ladies, do you dismiss a man if he is shorter than you? And no political correctness OK? Be honest. I know I have to talk to a lot more ladies than my tall male friends, I don't get upset, this is life and a person feels how they feel. I do my best to reward the ladies who give me a shot! But hell, I'm a classy guy! Maverick
