Long time apostate, first time poster.
by mtbatoon in.
just found this site today and as well as being amused, concerned and shocked at some of the stuff i?ve found here, reading the bios and posts of other ex jw?s has in a way made me feel a little bit less alone in the world.
don?t get me wrong, i?m not an emotionally scared loner, it?s like i?ve finally found someone else to stand outside morning assemble with.

Chauvanism or Chivalry?
by stillajwexelder inover the years i have become less of male chauvanist pig and much more chivalrous - my wife says she as a woman likes men to be men and hold doors open for her and stand up on an airport shuttle bus etc .
if there are no seats left.
to me the wtbts is very chauvanistic and not very chivalrous.

Chivalry covers not just my wife but all women, to assist her in a moment of need or even in the rare occasion of crises, IE being assaulted by a schizo boyfriend or even her husband, a man should never stand for that or allow that to happen to another woman in his arena. Even should that put himself in danger of bodily harm, we as men ( real men ) are required to step to the situation to assist her, by any means necessary.
Also to assist, if required, in problems with their vehicles. I say if required because we can no longer assume that women know nothing about cars, in fact, some women enjoy taking men down a notch when asking does she need help with her car when she knows how to fix things on them without a mans help.
Then there's the other side of that coin where a guy just wants to use that situation as an opportunity to put the moves on a woman, which in many a case, she would be better off getting the help from someone else as this clowns only motivation is to sieze an opportunity to make a hookup with a woman in a moment of need.

If she is driving, do you help her get in and out of the car?
See, that's were chivalry is no longer part of the equation, and I go back to being chauvinist, when I'm in the car, I'm doing the driving!!! -

Hi Wendy
Left click and hold the mouse, scrolling around the info you wish to copy, it will give you and x-ray look, letters will go from black to white with black background. Once all the info has been highlighted, right click and you'll see in the area you've highlighted a icon that will say copy, click it. Come back to where you wish to present the material, here, you will left click the scissors icon, cut, the very next item to your right is the copy section click that, and the very next icon to the right will say paste, hit all three in sucession, click, click, click one after the other, and your info should transfer itself to the page.
It's not as hard as it sounds.

Although pre-programed to respond to the needs of a woman, whether she be my wife, a neighbor down the street, a stranger in a super market. Social graces and ettiqute are the rule of the day, everyday.
I would deem myself as less than a man if any woman were to get on a vehicle of public transport and have to stand because of men, scratch that, blokes refused to give up their seat. It is unconscienable. And though I would agree that it borders on silliness for a man to race around the car in order to upon the door for m'lady, I do feel that he should oblige himself out of courtesy, to open the car door for her when she enters.
I take it even a step further, all though this may be viewed as really silly, upon opening the car door, insuring that she's in, I will not walk around the front of the car, so as to have her to be forced to view my rear end crossing her field of vision, but will walk behind the car so she is not offended by my bum. I enter the car from behind, not from in front of the car.
Women who I may cross paths with in the supermarket, are always yielded to, I will move out of the way until she crosses.
Also the language issue, and though many of us are no longer in the hall, I try very hard to ensure that I do not use foul language, regardless. You never know when our seniors and elders are within earshot of our verbal invectives. Manners are not required in America anylonger, but it would surely be an easier place to live in if we tried using them more.

IF THE NIGHT TURNED COLD
AND THE STARS LOOKED DOWN.
AND YOU HUG YOURSELF ON THE COLD COLD GROUND.
YOU WAKE THE MORNING IN A STRANGER'S COAT.
NO ONE WOULD YOU SEE.
YOU ASK YOURSELF, WHO'D WATCH FOR ME.
MY ONLY FRIEND,
WHO COULD IT BE?
IT'S HARD TO SAY IT.
I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT IT'S PROBABLY ME.
WHEN YOUR BELLY'S EMPTY
AND THE HUNGER'S SO REAL.
AND YOU'RE TOO PROUD TO BEG
AND TOO DUMB TO STEAL.
YOU SEARCH THE CITY
FOR YOUR ONLY FRIEND.
NO ONE WOULD YOU SEE.
YOU ASK YOURSELF,
WHO COULD IT BE?
A SOLITARY VOICE TO SPEAK OUT AND SET YOU FREE.
I HATE TO SAY IT.
I HATE TO SAY IT,
BUT IT'S PROBABLY ME.
YOU'RE NOT THE EASIEST PERSON I EVER GOT TO KNOW.
AND IT'S HARD FOR US BOTH TO LET OUR FEELINGS SHOW.
SOME WOULD SAY
I SHOULD LET YOU GO YOUR WAY. YOU'LL ONLY MAKE ME CRY.
IF THERE'S ONE GUY, JUST ONE GUY.
WHO'D LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR YOU AND DIE.
IT'S HARD TO SAY IT. IT'S HARD TO SAY IT, BUT IT'S PROBABLY ME.
WHEN THE WORLD'S GONE CRAZY AND IT MAKES NO SENSE.
THERE'S ONLY ONE VOICE THAT COMES TO YOUR DEFENSE.
THE JURY'S OUT AND YOUR EYES SEARCH THE ROOM. AND ONE FRIENDLY FACE IS ALL YOU NEED TO SEE.
IF THERE'S ONE GUY, JUST ONE GUY. WHO'D LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR YOU AND DIE.
ITS HARD TO SAY IT. I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT IT'S PROBABLY ME.
I HATE TO SAY IT. I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT IT'S PROBABLY ME.Gordon Sommoner circa 1993
