If they enforced the gluttony rule, they'd lose huge numbers. I was in a hall where most of the ladies were freakin HUGE! It was gross and repulsive, even fully clothed. They probably sat home and ate and nagged their poor husbands. Another note.... how many fat people did I see in Havana? None! No fast food there and people don't have enough money to be gluttons and they have to work, and walk to work or walk to the bus stop. Now when I was in South Beach, I drove to Little Havana. Someone commented that Cuban girls have big butts and I said no way because I never saw one in Cuba. He said it must be the water on Calle Ocho in Little Havana. lol

Few witnesses at the gym. Sad, most eat alot, get fat and depressed, eat more and can't figure out why. Especially harmful to the single sisters. I don't want a fattie and neither do most normal guys unless they are fat or ugly or mentally challenged. Sometimes they wait to get married, then let themselves go... then hubbie gets repulsed. Yuck.... the gym is a great way to stay healthy and fit. Wish more would go and ingore comments by elders that are fools.

Why didn't we help these women?
by Tatiana inin the eastern democratic republic of the congo, women are enduring unspeakable acts of violence while the world remains largely unaware.
"they cut me with knives and machetes.
then they asked my sons to hold my legs and hands apart and started raping me--all eight of them.

Were You Afraid Of The Elders?.Did Ya Love Em?...What Was Your View of Them
by minimus ini've heard of brothers and sisters saying that they have "prayed for the elders because they love them for their hard work and sacrifice".
i've also heard of how some in the congregation were petrified of the elders and of course, there were those that said they were either only men or that they were direct representatives of jehovah god himself.

I didn't fear them but it was all abput appearances and the "spin" when you talked to them. Fact is, they were more afraid of me. I got stripped of my privileges without notice, comment or warning because I rolled out with a buddy one night and arrested people, did searches and the like. I got bored with watching COPS on tv and called my Sheriff buddy and asked if he wanted a partner for the night. I lvoed it but an elder heard and didn't like it. He said high speed chases, searching cars and the like was risking my life even though in our town it has been years since a cop was shot at. After I noticed my name was removed from the mikes, etc list, I questioned the elders about the rougue elder that didn't folow protocal, procedure or even the bible. Why did they let this guy do this? That night we arrested an elders son for bein on LSD and writing graffiti with his friends. I only recognized the elder's son, perhaps a few others were also brothers. Small world. They knew I knew what was up, knew how to respond, was (am) versed in the law and am a good examiner so some of the elders told me nobody would volunteer to talk to me.

I am a big flirt and also speak Spanish. Coqueton means big flirt in Spanish. My Spanish game is off the hook. Now the pic is a pic of a Zapatista rebel from Chiapas, Mexico. Kind of funny because I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I'm also in the Caribbean alot and much tanner than many Mexicans I meet. The people from Chiapas, Mex are dark so I tease them and say I'm a Mexican from Chiapas and a Zapatista rebel. Could be true as their leader is supposedly anglo and I am fluent in Spanish.

Glad you did what was best for your situation. Many sisters have health problems. Put your family and their happiness first, just do what is good in God's eyes. It won't do you any good to Pioneer, be poor and have your wife go off the deep end. Live life, serve God and be happy.... isn't that the way it should be? Sounds like you are doing great. Best Wishes

JW OnLine Dating WebSite thoughts
by Jim_TX inokay... i happened onto one of those 'online' dating services for jws.. it doesn't matter which one... i am sure they are all pretty similar.. the first thing i noticed was - in the member profiles... anytime they talk about what they like - and all... when they use words like... assembly... associate... etc.
the 'online censor' replaces the 'ss' with '**' - don't want anyone using the word 'ass' ya know... even tho one of the apostles had one... or was it... rode on one.... anyway... next in the 'search' options... they allow the prospective searchee to set up parameters to look for... race.... 'drinking' - they forgot 'like a fish'... the closest they get to it is 'regular'.
'occupation' - ironically, they do not have 'bethelite, 'gillead-ite', 'district overseer' (hey!

Not missin much on those sites. If you weed out the gals on meds, under 18, over 40, different kids from different daddies, 2-3 times divorced, ex drunk, on drugs, beat them, etc... there really is nobody left except for the ummmm challenged, as in horizontally and the ones who look like they should be wearin a bag on their head.
