Nicola: some people think they can come and abuse Christians because won't/cant fight back. Well they're in for a BIG shock - watch this space!

Sweet! Does this mean that you will respond to this? or am I wasting space by asking you to respond?

Nicola, language has so much meaning that is 'loaded' and it would help if you could share your understanding of what some of the terms that you use mean to you.
You seem like somebody who takes their research seriously, so, please, define these terms, if you have the time and don't mind doing so:
1. scientist
2. scientific method
3. scientific evidence
4. scientific proof

Is it common for old men to marry young JW?

by adjusted knowledge in

friends

i left in the 90's and marriage partners were similar in age at my former congregation.

i ran into a former jw friend from my childhood.

i haven't seen him in 15 years.

Prologos, you do have a point. There are many cultures in which the practice of young women marrying older men is quite common. The older man satisfies those young women's need for security.

However, where this becomes problematic is that the union may benefit the two who married - the older man gets a nursemaid in his declining years and the young woman gets security far faster than if she married a younger man who still has to accumulate his wealth. - but the ones who pay the price are the children born from that union.

I have met a few people who had an elderly father. Their fathers were elderly - over 50 and more - when they were born. These children often miss out on what other children have - a father who engages in sport and play with them, and quite often, that elderly father is already long gone when it is time for them to mark their rites of passage.

Not only that, but grandchildren never get to benefit from the wisdom of the grandfather - he is long gone before they are born.

December-May relationships work well for the two who decide to hook up - but not so well for the children.

I'm my favorite type of JW - Double Life

by thedepressedsoul in

the borg's tactics on most jw work.

they put fear into their mind, they guilt trip them and basically make them scared to do anything when they are away from the kingdom hall.

it allows them to control every aspect of their life.

OrphanCrow

Or if they're an addict... ehm

Only the blind addict will stay at the table.

Can't tell if you have a gambling problem or are trying to explain 1914 to me

Exactly.

You have no idea if someone at your table is bluffing or not - you only know that you're bluffing.

Sixteen years is a long time to sit at the table and not realize that you hold the losing hand.

By the way - you were the one who threw the gambling metaphor on the table.

No, I don't think I missed the point.

Choosing which table you are going to sit down at is the first critical decision for a gambler.

Choosing to stay or get up from the table is the next critical decision a gambler has to make. A good gambler knows when to leave - either because the cards aren't hitting or they have won.

A gambling addict, however, doesn't have those skills. They will stay at the table and keep playing until they have lost it all. Because a gambling addict isn't addicted to winning - they are addicted to losing.

Only the blind addict will stay at the table.

& yet the other players may notice that too and see you adding more to the pot and fold leaving you with very little to show for that hand.

Lol! Except for you...you are the one who was bluffing. And me having little to show for that hand is still more than anyone else at that table. Winning is winning regardless of how much it is - losing is just plain losing.

Bluffing means you have nothing and are lying to stay in the game and try to steal a pot.

Then next match wipe you out

Ah...the sucker's hope and dream - that the winner doesn't get up from the table.

It's all a game.

Yeah...it is. And some people can play it better than others. Some people cheat too.

No such thing as a sure bet

Yes there is.

If I hold a royal flush and I have seen 3 kings hit the table already - there is nobody who can beat me.

You have no need to say sorry.
