what's a polite way to ask a man to keep his hands to himself while conversing in a group with you?.
this neighbor of mine and i were sitting in chairs on the deck with other people.. he always touched me whenever he said anything to me or i said anything to him.. it was as if he was using touch like an antenna to send and receive signals.. i didn't know what to do, so instead of risking embarrassment for us both, i did nothing but stand up and step away.. i stepped away after he attempted to caress my hamstrings on one leg.. *shudder*.
wonder why 60+ year old men think that a woman being nice to him means she's hot for him.. also wonders why it's only the smoking, beer guzzling, scrawny, bony, and smelly old men who do that.. .

By the way, that's LIFE, not shit.
It's life when it happens once or twice and learn from it. when it happens over and over and over....
Best to get some ideas on how to deal with it appropriately before doing something you regret, don't you think?
I never said it WASN'T a good idea. I completely agree. However, since you bring it up, you tend to ask for advice and, when someone has the audacity to offer a different perspective than that you were somehow wronged (which is pretty much the theme of these threads, you were wronged and are a victim somehow), you go off like a crazy woman.
Go back and OJECTIVELY re-read those threads. You might find a common theme that could help you see some things you need to work on.
And, before you go off about me not being perfect either, none of us are. I know I am not. In fact, I actively have a mentor that I will frequently ask for candid, objective advice in an effort for self improvement. That's the key, self improvement, not validation that someone somehow wronged me in a situation. Even if someone DID wrong me, it can be self improvement to rise above it when it's not worth dealing with. Speaking of which....

Grab his hand and one finger and look him straight in the eyes, "Touch me again and I'll break it."
Utterly brilliant. Sure, threaten to break someone finger for doing something they don't even know is bothering you.
Or, and this might sound crazy, but you could politely ask him to not do that in private. I know, it's a bold and risky plan, but it just might work.

the bible refers to the book of jashar at joshua 10:13. this is when the sun stood still and the moon stopped.. it is also referred to in the 2nd book of samuel 1:18 where it says: "behold it is written in the book of jasher.".
why did they leave it out of the bible yet quote from it as an authority?.
the question is not so much why this book was left out but why any of the others were included.
I just finished reading "Misquoting Jesus".
A rather enlightening read.
afterall , it condones murder, genocide, infanticide and a plethora of other nasty things.
it is contradictory and unscientific.. hell; lets be honest it's hard to read and harder to understand.. so why is it called the good book?.
discuss!.
If I wrote a book endorsing genocide, rape, xenophobia, slavery, and child murder, but interspersed a few trite "love is good" sayings throughout, I wonder if I'd be hailed as a divine messenger of love or just a deluded psychopath?
Or new best friend?

Interestingly, OT God refers to himself as savior when speaking, the prophets refer to a coming savior, Jesus refers to himself by the OT God's name "I AM" on many occassions (also interestingly, "only begotten son" is a mistranslation the JW's love, it should be "unique son"), the NT properly never really refers to Jesus as divine or as God.
How many? Pick a number. Mine is zero.

Actually, it ends on a note of hope and affirmation, imo.
False hope and unrealized affirmation, to be sure.
the fine spiritual information that i recieved at the convention has made an impact on this bitter heart.
i came to realize that what i thought was logical was nothing more than my imperfect heart seeking to be rebellious.
i was so wrong!
