  this has not happened to me, but i am curious as to what the elders would do if they came to you and asked about something you had done and you said you did not want to discuss it...and left it at that......they couldnt do anything about it could they?

  Being that the elders are "men", if you are a women and choose not to talk to them about certain things, or anything, they can't FORCE anyone to tell them ANYTHING. Men or women for that matter.

  Ya, they require 2 witnesses, so ask them to provide such in the case of any accusation.

  Dearest Ugg,

  I remember the first time I talked to you in chat. I loved talking with you, and miss doing so.

  I saw your comment on the topic of having friends, and noticed you are posting at the same time of night I am.

  I would love to speak with you again, and I consider you a friend. I am curious as to why I have seen you posting and not in chat anymore?

  How are you?

  Your email is locked, and I am pretty sure why due to previous conversations, but would like to talk to you, or if you could jump in chat so I could give you my email address.

  You normally give short but good comments and I have been thinking about you alot lately since we haven't be able to talk.

  This is done out of love and just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you.

  LOVE YOU,

  Jesika

  Do you have many friends?

  years ago, everybody seemed to talk to their neighbors, and knew just about everything about them, where they work, knew alot about them.

  but now a days, we know much more people on the internet, than real live people in front of us.

  we are a generation of computer addicts.

  Since leaving the JW's, I have had very few friends. I don't expect anyone to be around for a long time. I have had people in my life that I am glad to have met and have in my life at the time.

  I don't have any "friends" that have lasted more than a yr. I either move on or just move or they do the same. I can say that I try to be the best kind of friend to the people who I would like to be friends with for as long as they will allow. I guess I tend not to get too attached, cause in the back of my mind----------one day they will be gone too. I wish I was wrong about that, but time and again it has proved to be true. I just try to be there for them while they are in my life. The only friend I have that I know won't leave me anytime soon is my son. I find alot of comfort in knowing that, and I try to make sure he won't see the need to keep me out of his life ever.

  I am not trying to be a pesimist, but just relaying my own experience.

  I have made alot of friends here, that I hope to have for a long time. *crossing fingers*

  I am a very outgoing person and have no problems making friends, but for some reason, like the seasons, they change or go.

  I sometimes wonder if it is me, and that I can't completely trust someone with my secrets or thoughts. Being raised a JW, it is hard to find someone who understands why I feel and do or see things the way I do. Could that be why I don't have friends?? I have very few friends, but most I feel would be there for me have families or careers and don't have alot of time, or they are far away. I guess that is why I am here so much. I love to help people and to get to know people. This forum has given me a place to do both.

  I love you guys,

  Jesika

  Why I don't Want children

  I didn't want to ever have children because of the abuse I went through in my own childhood. I did not feel like I could be a good parent, since I didn't feel I had a good example.

  I was 17when I got pregnant with my son. He almost died when he was 2days old. Although I didn't want to have a child, the thought of loosing him was horrific.

  I agree with Robdar, when she said she didn't think she would be alive now if it wasn't for her son. I believe the same to be true with me. I had noone to love, and I love him sooooooooooo much. I never knew or understood unconditional love, untill he was born. I would do anything for him. I have gone hungry so he could eat. I have gone without warm clothes so he could be warm. I have been without alot so I could give to him. I don't see this as a selfish thing at all. It brought out the best in me and his father.

  I don't want anymore children, ever, but I would never imagine my life without my son.

  Lucy-----the other day in chat, you were talking to Ruby Tuesday when I entered the room. You made the comment that you were suprised she came in to talk with you since alot of people don't like you for speaking your mind. The comment Ruby made was, Maybe it is the WAY you say things. Very wise words, and you should take them to heart. We don't mind you speaking your mind, or to "Say it like it is", but it is the WAY you say things.The name calling is out of line, and telling us we are selfish for having children is out of line. Who the hell are you to tell me I can or can't have children, and then labeling me if I choose to go against what you think? Again, it is out of line. I respect your opinion, but I don't respect you pushing it on others, or labeling them in a negative fashion for not sharing the same outlook.

  Just my 2 cents worth.

  i'm thinking about taking a break from this place for awhile.. one of the reasons i came here was because of the way jws have been so mean to me.

  i don't like to see people be mean to each other.. lately i have been seeing people i care about being very mean to each other and me.

  i just can't handle that.. please don't be mean.

  What's sex?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  imagine when the earthly resurrection will begin, and maybe 20 billion people who lived in the past will have a second chance to live eternally, but this time without sex (luke 20:35).

  having to live an eternal life without having the passion of love, and no sex whatsoever.

  how would you cope with this?

  I think I would explode if I couldn't have sex, just let me stay dead if there was no sex.
