well i have just lived through one of the worst weekends of my life.
something i never want to happen again.. let see if i can tell this and make some sense.. (sorry emotions are still running high).
we found out we got a house in the north side of canberra so saturday morning we spent moving furniture etc up there.
Hi Kelps
Hells Bells...I saw the devastation on the news...it was shocking to say the least.
So glad to hear you are doing okay...and that you and yours are safe n sound. My little brother was in Canberra over the weekend and he emailed with news of all that he saw and heard. He said it sure was spectacular...and the smoke and dark gloom.
I hope those who have been worst affected get the help they need...and glad to hear you're okay Kelps.
Hugs

ps..today we have smoke everywhere....i'm not sure where the fire is (local) but it sure is making the air thick with smoke and stinking hot
....in the organization, that you had?
did you enjoy being a pioneer or elder?
did you feel that you "were just a publisher"?
OIC
Well in that case I was a gossiping busy body elderette...not really a position of my own personal choice I might add.
I much prefer my other position

Always on top.
As for positions in the congregation...well they don't interest me much....since there were no positions available for my gender.

Thank you for sharing that Michael...that was one of the loveliest things I've read in a long time. I loved your story and I think you both make a handsome couple. All the best!!

There are some things unique to our culture that makes our culture what it is.
Sometimes when we are amongst our own people, there is a silent understanding...I also find this amongst my own family members and not only when I'm surrounded by people who share the same heritage as myself.
My background is Maori (native New Zealander)...my partner is white Australian. We have had some cultural differences but they have been few and far between.
There have been times when visiting with my inlaws where I have walked into the bathroom and am startled at my own reflection, then I say to myself 'oh yeah that's right, I'm brown' LOL. Being surrounded by white Australians (who are usually more tanned than white anyway) makes me sometimes forget who I am. So when I go back to NZ or when I meet up with other kiwis who share my heritage...I find myself missing that silent understanding.
But to answer the question, I would sooner marry someone from another race then I would my own. I was married to someone from my own race for 14 years...same religion...same age...same everything....but both heading in different directions.
Its all about the journey ahead...not the one behind you.

what are some of things you were deprived of as a jw kid that were not all that bad??
i remember when other kids would say 'cross your heart or hope to die' as an act of truthfulness.
i don't know the origin...but it seemed harmless enough.
only to run away as fast as you could at the very last second, like you were about to touch a hot stove.
Frank, I have scars on my fingertips from the last HOT stove I tried to touch...I kid you not!
Even my sister wouldn't hook me up with her mates..
Kep...ermmm...wasn't Wanda one of your sister's mates?? LOL...you should've snapped her up when you had the chance brother.

my man and i are approaching our one year anniversary and i want to make it one he will never forget.. now as a female, i get very romantic and soppy.. i want to make our evening one he will never forget.. i have booked us into a motel with a corner spa, and will have champers and chocolates waiting on arrival... we have a 3 course meal booked into the resturant downstairs.
i am new to the "sex scene" and i want to make it special for him.. i have had a couple of good suggestions in chat, eg chocolate body paint, black stockings and high heels...any other suggestions??.
kelps (of the want to spoil him class)
You are such a romantic Kelps LOL...you guys are too cute.
Hmmm...now what kind of memory do you want it leave?? A warm and wonderful memory just between the two of you?? Or one of those kinky memories that make you go 'wow' but more sexual then romantic??
If you want the warm memory just between the two of you, then you seem to have it all wrapped up. Nice sheets, some good food, and a bit of hanky panky. Wonderful!! Enjoy.
If you want 'kapow sexy' memories...then get in an extra female...do the threesome thing...he won't be forgetting that in a hurry.

I used to sing the national anthem when no one was looking.
I used to say the lords prayer at school assembly when no one was looking.
I sometimes used to say 'oh my god'.
And I even played competitive sports from time to time.
Ahhh...that feels better now that I've got all that off my chest. Oh tis wonderful to have a clear conscience - finally!

11. in case men struggle together with one another and the wife of the one has come near to deliver her husband out of the hand of the one striking him, and she has thrust out her hand and grabbed hold of him by his privates, 12. you must then amputate her hand.
your eye must feel no sorrow.
deuteronomy 25:11-12. .
Why would any woman want to grab a man by the privates if he's beating up her mongrel husband?
