whats the deal with long hair
by aoxo into add to the previous thread regaurding beards i have a similar issue with long hair.
i wanted so long to grow it out but of course couldn't.
there is, however a scripture that baffled me, 1co 11:14 "does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him; but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her?

On Pretending to Be a JW to Sell a Car (posted on Sept 19). . .
by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit ini just read the many responses and i apologize that this was offensive to some, and likely not the right place for it.
however, the truth is, i am still a jw--i am an inactive, secretly hateful, bitter jw and i will soon da.
did i make known that i was a jw in order to secure trust with a client?

A funny thing happened yesterday
by Satans little helper ini called my sister yesterday - she d/a'd herself a couple of years ago but is still in the uk and lives close to my father; he's a self important elder type who is as insufferable as they generally are.
anyway, the conversation got to talking about family as you do and she mentioned bumping into my father recently, saying that he was sorry that we were having a tough time in oz and ha had sarcastically said that if he had our contact details then he would have sent a card when mrs slh was in hospital.
now i found this somewhat ironic because the reason that he didn't have our contact details was because he chose to not come to our wedding 3 years ago, and after that i do not want to have anything to do with him.

A funny comparison
by Dawn inok, i thought the comparison of these two videos back to back was hillarious so i have to share this with you all and get your thoughts.
video #1: singing at a jw assembly - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-vxlqe3-sg (and don't forget to check out the comments below the video!).
video #2: singing at a small church somewhere: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9094243614884928480&q=gospel+singing&hl=en.

I love when they turn and run as fast as they can away from you!!
by mama1119 intoday i was at burlington baby depot registering for my baby shower, stolling up and down the aisles and scanning.
low and behold, down the aisle comes a dub.
as soon as she set eyes on me, she backed out of the aisles as fast as she could, as if i was throwing poop at her.

Has the rules changed?
by pratt1 ina relative of my wife, just got engaged to a "worldly guy".. the young lady is a baptized publisher, and i am shocked to hear that no one has made a negative comment about her future husband not being an dub.. even her mother who is a pioneer has not made an issue of the engagement.. has things changed?.
are the elders easing up a little on the rank and file?.

Physical attributes in men and women
by greendawn inthey say that in women (physical) looks are the most important factor for attracting a mate whereas for men it is other things eg personality, wealth, status, as if there are a lot more aspects to male existence.
.
so how would you choose (or did) choose a mate, eg was a woman's physical side of paramount importance or did you also weigh that seriously against character personality, culture, etc.

What do you think the Society's future holds?
by KW13 ini get the feeling the society is gonna suffer a huge loss of number, with people who are in getting old, those 'raised' in the so called truth leaving and less and less interested ones because more people are aware.. .
it has its ups and downs but it seems the ups aren't as big as they used to, some never recovered from 1975 and others from the 1995 generation thingy.. your thoughts?.

Relationships and 'theocratic' career
by cyberdyne systems 101 indid you notice or experience the fact that to have an approved romantic relationship you had to be baptised, and for men often you would be expected to be a min servant or elder, or at the very least reaching out in the congregation.
i'm sure others had other rules such as being a pioneer or something.
its another area where you are pressured into conforming to a certain ideal - not a scriptural one but an organisational one.
