Minimus,
Once again you make me mad.
You attack XQ on things you know nothing about, and you answer no questions.
I got married at 16.
Given up by parents who believed 1975 was coming, they married me off to a elders son.
19 years later and 3 kids, he fornicated multiple times, And got away with it. I was the one who was always lacking, I divorced him with scripitual grounds, who got shunned?
You figure it out mini...once again if you were an elder.........I pity the people you counseled.
I was dating at 18 and engaged by 19, to someone 11 years older than me. At the time I thought I was the smartest thing in the world. I wanted to get married so I could get out of my parent's house, and he wanted to get married to have sex. I was too young, but not to young to know I shouldnt get married. I can only imagine what my life would be like now and the people I owuld have hurt.
btw, wanted to point out that the above post is notperfectyet's 777th post. I think that's a pretty cool number.
NPY, YOU were a baby! 16 is a child! Don't be mad at me. Your parents should've had their heads checked letting or encouraging you to get married. You were but a child.
Yeah 16 lil young. The average marriage last less than 7 years. So 19 years is almost 3 times the average. I know most people would say "its a failed marriage", but is it really?
Whether you want to call it a "failed marriage" is up to you. I simply feel that JWs encourage marriage when "children" are not ready----like they do in baptism!
Of course they do; their adolescent hormones are raging, and marriage (and often a subsequent pregnancy) is one way to deflect the incessant pressure to pioneer, go to Bethel, etc.
Room, GOOD POINT! At least you can still have legit sex!
True, it is like throwing a fight. Their was a simular thing on the CO thread (and most cos are geezers). If I was at bethel the best way to bow out is to get married and have a baby. Or imagine you have parents that say something stupid like to live here after 18 you have to pioneer.
by the way----I'm at 11001 posts!
now min, is that something to reeeeeeeeealy be proud of?
*muah*
