Woman was created first! It's science.
by wannabefree inwoman was created first.. every human being has 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs, the first twenty two are autosomes, or matching, the twenty third pair matches in the female (xx), however, the male is mismatched (xy).. notice what is missing from that second x?
yes, one of its ribs has been removed.. clearly, in a female, since all are matching pairs, it makes sense that woman was created first as the male xy combination is the mutated pair.
why would god create the mismatched dna first?

CAN WE BE BETTER THAN THE GOD WE SERVE?
by Terry inbe careful what you say god is and what he wants; you may be saying more about yourself than you realize.. it may well be our personal taste in religion is revelatory of our basic character.. _____.
look at the devout islamist whose worship consists of blowing people up or cutting off heads.. contrast that to those hindi who sit with legs folded in their own lap contemplating bliss.. now contrast both the above to somebody who believes service to god is visiting the sick in hospitals.. _____.
instead of there being 3 different gods served--there might only be an extraordinary unveiling of each person's heart and mind!.

agree.
ive already told my mother that I must be better than Jehovah because Id never do to adam and eve what he supposedly did, Id never ask someone to sacrifice thier son, and Id never expect my son to die willingly for imperfect humans.
and Id never treat people the way jws treat disfellowshipped people.

lol, i recal being at the meeting for this lesson ,and me and the brother sitting next to me, just smiled and shook our heads, and after he asked me
do you get any of this? it makes no sense, what are they talking about?
and i said no, and i dont believe it either, and he agreed. he then proceded to tell me that when he asked and elder about something in a previous lesson that was equally stupid, the elder told him, 'well, we will have it cleared up eventaually'
wow. 'feed' the flock a bunch of crap, they will 'talk' a bunch of crap

hmm,
ive only heard of 50th wedding anniversaries and maybe some 25th anniversaries as being made into a big deal, and usually thrown by the children of the couple and usually a surprise, and there were not any 'gifts' and usually at a rented hall with a pot luck bring a dish meal.
must be your big city show offs, lol !

i had a hysterectomy at age 35 and was left with one good ovary, it was odd, for the first time in my life since age 13,
i had no discharge, and no lower back pain.
no more periods, no more endometreosis pain, no more bloating,
no more wearing panty liners, no more cramps, and nearly no chance of ovarian cancer. since i have only one.
it was the best thing i ever done and wish id have had it done ten years earlier.
my daughter age 32 had a total hysterectomy, she had endometreosis worse than i , her doctor wanted to put her on medication to shrink the endo, that would have cost her 100 dollars a week. well there was no way she was affording that, so she told her dr to take it all out.
shes not on any hormone replacement pills . she just took natural supliments while her body went through a quick menopause.
[were against meds pretty much]
and shes fine. shes not sick, moody, or overweight. so its something to think about. i figure if your done having kids,
why mess with doctors, and for us here in the us, huge doctor bills, and pain all the time.

are we loosing the skills/ ability to make freinds and seek mates?
by sowhatnow init occoured to me that so many people in the world in general, have now become tech dependant.. so in my view this has interfered with a childs ability to make freinds simply from initial contact.. people fear each other right off the bat, and are suspicious, rather than the other way around, becasue of the things that go on.
even among those who cliam to be true christains.. there also is a huge amount of people of all ages, who have no clue how to date.. dating websites have flurished, ans has social sites like this one, .
but they are an inaccurate means in my opinion, because not all people on these sites can be trusted.. how do we interpret whats being inplied when text cannot express emotion?.

if tomorrow dozens of jws learned of ttatt
by sowhatnow inand they left the congregations, would you then feel open to be thier friends?.
many on here have the same complaint, that in the jw congregations, there were clickes, no one had time for each other,.
people judged, there was a lack of association, freindship , true concern and love were lacking.

apostrate, the reputation we gain from being a jw sticks with us unfortuantely. we get an automatic [visual] conclusion drawn when we are introduced to someone and at some point it comes out we were 'once' jehovahs witnesses' now that whole idea clouds evverything else and they cant view us like one of them, normal people. its like they trip all over themselves not knowing how to act.
you have more patience than i do, you sound as if your an only child. i feel your pain, but its fear that keeps us from being brave and moving out of a dead end situation Im guilty of that myself, by being still married to my husband. I have no prospects that wouldnt pull me into poverty.
so i stay so i have a home and food and maintain at least a semi middle class status. but Im sure not happy about it.
im sure theres a lot of reasons why she wont relocate but ,
you mean to tell me, if you told her to sell the house and buy another one closer to a kingdom hall so she can go more often, [if shes even able to]
she isnt open to the idea? use her psycology. get closer to the hall see people, have new area to explore, bla bla. id call her bluff. start packing, lol
and yes you certainly need some sort of job if anything just to get out of the house!
god, go get a job at mcdonalds just to get a break from the monotony. im going crazy this past two weeks being sick with the flu being home!
yea exactly why they dont df you, your her caretaker, but also they might simply not care to begin with,
your not 'spreading propaganda' your no threat to them. but here where i live, when someone reaches an age like her they force them into a nursing home, ive seen it done three times so far. the elders work with the family to convince the person tha t there is no other way, and uses the idea that its service t o God if they relive thier family of the time consuming burden, and opens up 'new territory' being in a facility. whatever, and out they go .
but heads up, id make it known to her, that
your a guy shes a girl, and your not a young man anymore,
there is going to ome a time when your hands will be tied, youll have no choice but to put her in a facility. use the elders in her hall to your advantage if you can to force her into a better situation if need be. if you have siblings they can back you up.
and that house if not in your name for at least 7 years, will go to the nursing home.
she needs to know, that her home is payment for her future care, not the borg.
Id have somehow put it in my name 10 years ago.
yea i have my parents at age 72 and 74 thinking they have everything figured out
when in fact they are financially struggling because they insist on having thier name attatched to a deed, the bank owns their place they are paying rent plus paying to maintain it. foolsih to me.
they would be farther ahead renting it would cost them less in travel gas and heating fuel and maintainence. they have 2 unlevel acres , and mom seems to feel it needs cut like a golf course, so she spends hours doing this only to wear herself out.
i dont want to have to deal with thier realestate issues, so yea whats up with people and thier possessions when they are jws???

so, what perhaps is the soulution for humans to get back to being able to express themselves properly and make freinds easily?
