I have to say I am somewhat repulsed by large age gaps. My father-in-law (when widowed) married someone half his age (70-35). She needed the financial security and he was flattered by all the young sisters in the hall fighting over him. His two children were the same age as this woman. His children were horrified to say the least. She fed him 3 fast-food meals a day for 2 years; so while she put on 50 pounds he developed cancer and was gone within the 2 year wedding mark. She was all too happy to inherit quite a nice fortune. He did not know he was supposed to update his will after marriage. He thought that his original will leaving everything to his 2 children would stand. In Colorado law it does not. On a different note....I have 2 daughters in the their 20's - if a 50 year old man showed interest in them - GOD HELP THAT MAN! That is my 2 cents. I see I am in the minority.....

marrying younger spouses
by ssn587 inmy wife passed away 2 years ago we had been married over 30 years, i have since remarried and my new wife is younger than 3 of my children from my first marriage.
i just wondering if there are any more like me out there.
i stay in excellent shape for my age, work out almost daily eat good and have absolutely no medical problems or at least none i can do anything about, bad knees, but my vitals are excellent, and i am known as the teenage because of them when i have my yearly medical checkup.. so was wondering if there are others out there like me, and what some may think about it, just for the record i am extremely happy once again, and we have a 18 month boy who delights me, have a whole new outlook on fatherhood and child raising.

Another "Whirlpool of Stupid"
I especially enjoyed when the one elder stated that he was especially offended with the scene of the man and woman who had their legs and arms tangled together (even though their clothes were on)

Disgusted with JW Funeral Today!
by time2keepmoving inmy son grew up with one of the young brothers in the kingdom and after graduation both him and my son left the kh.
the young man who left the hall fell into the wrong crowd and i mean a really dangerous crowd and as a result of him getting involved in illegal activity he was murdered.
i really feel for this young man, because he was a decent kid.

by return of parakeet inin another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.
i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.
just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..

I think her pen is a bit flashy and materialistic. It certainly could detract a householder's attention from "the message."

When this story broke I had a very strong suspicion that there would be a JW connection.

Return of Parakeet...Father - 10 minutes.
I would say that is very good for a witness funeral. Usually it is 5 minutes of how the person loved Jehovah, went to all the meeting, was out in field service regularly and maybe a mention of their birthdate and then the speaker is off and running with 40 minutes of the Infomercial.

I got married at 20. It had nothing to do with sex (especially considering the sexual appeal of the eligible bachelors in my hall). It had everything to do with my parents. They forbid me from moving out of the house unless it was as the wife of a spiritual brother. All of my older siblings were married and out of the house and I had to get out too.

Watchtower says:You can be Disfellowshiped for being FAT!!!!!
by Witness 007 inwatch 1974 p.167 "by disobediently overindulging in food and making a glutton of himself, he fails to show love for jehovah...is food a big thing in his life?
in the presence of others does he selfishly ignore their needs and take far more than his fair share?
is he grossly overweight?

From the looks of the new GB-2 picture, those 8 men are in serious need of a stairmaster. In my town all 8 of them would be called FFA's (of course they are not all from America)
