life is a blur, just trying to figure out, is it really tuesday?

How many people here would love to do a threesome, but are afraid to discuss it with their partner?
As all the men on the board (and mango ) raise their hands...

Hey, here's a new thought--maybe he's gay?
Well, that's easy to test for.
1) Arrive naked
2) Bring beer
You're sufficiently hot for this test to work. If he doesn't immediately run over, strip naked, and ravish your body.....
well....
he's gay.
Sorry.

i've been studying with the jw's for about a year now.
i know that by nature (or nurture!
) i have an addictive personality so i have tried to be real careful that i'm doing the right thing by getting involved with them.
Meow: Most of what I've heard has been here. When I read your reply I felt disassociated by YOU, from this board.
Sorry I didn't see this earlier - I've sent Meow an email already.
It was not my intention to offend. You have to understand though, there are several 'trolls' on the board who are not sincerely interested in help. I didn't really have enough data to make any kind of assumption either way, so I threw out a general warning.
Obviously, it was not clearly worded and has offended. Again, I'm sorry, that was not my intent.

Just finished them today Can't fault my education, too much. If not for the college credit, I'd be owing the government close to a grand this year (and yeah, that's even WITH the new tax law changes - they just don't give DINKs a break)
Latest I've even done them, but it's just been such a goddamned busy year.
(Oh, and I forgot to add to the list - the wife's car and my truck both need repairs I've got to somehow make time for)

how they believe it is supposed to work .
[li] the present annointed governing body members shall soon pass away and receive their heavenly reward, not awaiting a resurrection.. [li] having run the fine "race" to the finish, they shall effectively pass "go" and collect their proverbial $200, to borrow a metaphor from the milton bradley game.. [li] upon their physical deaths they expect to enjoy an instant transfer of consciousness into glorious spirit bodies in heaven.. [li] not going to the proverbial monopoly "jail" upon their deaths (until awakening to a resurrection like the rest of sinful mankind), they expect to pass "jail" and go directly to a heavenly "park place" filled with riches and powers beyond earthly comprehension.. [li] these men who proclaimed themselves as part of the collective "faithful and discreet slave class" here on earth expect to enter heaven to reign over mankind as "priests" next to jesus christ, who is king over the earth, for a thousand years.. how it might actually work.
[li] the present men on the watchtower society's governing body shall soon die of natural age related causes.. [li] each one suddenly finds himself hovering over and looking down on his frail aged body in shock and puzzlement, as younger men scurry about his body.
LOL @ Nathan
But, wait, I thought when reincarnated, you were supposed to be a DIFFERENT form of life than you were before?
I think they've got 'fermented-dung eating maggots' down already.

Honestly, I'd say go for it if he seems like he's leaving the org for you.
OTOH, he DOES sound like a whiney little bish. Try slapping him a few times and see what happens.
(btw, I know the overworked drill. Remember, working full time and going to class full time here! Top it off, one of my co-workers flew home from an install he was in the middle of ON THE OTHER GODFORSAKEN END OF THE COUNTRY, so I had to run out on 1 days notice to miss a week and a half of school pulling 12 hour days - through the weekend. Now, guess how hard it is working in doing the taxes, day to day bookeeping, going to school full time, working full time, trying to catch up on 10 days worth of classes, and STILL pulling longer days because this client is proving to be a pain in the ass.)

well at 29 years old, after a lifelong relationship/belief in/association with a higher power i called god, here i am very close to taking an athiestic or agnostic approach to the rest of my life.
it really hit me the other day although my doubts have been there but i just have been forcing myself to ignore them because i was afraid to give up that religious part of me because its all that i have ever been and i was afraid of the unknown.
but i realized after getting through another one of those weeks from hell that it makes no difference how much i pray or how much i believe.
Out of curiosity, for those 'god stepped in and saved me' people...
What proof do you actually have that a divine being intervened in your behalf? I'm assuming you had a problem, prayed, and the problem worked itself out.
How do you know FOR CERTAIN that it wouldn't have worked out anyway?
Person X ceases worshipping the christian god some time ago. If person X wants good fortune, they do a spell. If they then have good fortune (even inprobably good), is it because their spell suceeded?
The terrorist hijackings of Sept 11 were VERY well co-ordinated. You may rest assured the terrorists were praying to Allah as they drove their plane into the buildings. Does the success, against the odds, of their plan indicate that Allah intervened to allow them to succeed?
And what of all the passengers praying to their (mostly Christian) god to save them? He didn't answer their prayers - were all those airliners filled with unfaithful people praying for the wrong thing?
------------
The problem with 'faith' is that when you have it, anything good that happens you will attribute to having it. It becomes a circular argument.
'God helped me because I have faith'
'How do you know it was God'
'Because I have faith' [8>]
Uhhh...okay

How do I resist temptation that just happens to be in next room
Not that JW guy is it? C'mon butal, you know he's no good for you. You KNOW it. You've said as much here. REPEATEDLY. Be strong. You've got good friends here, and you WILL meet Mr. Right some day.
(If, on the off chance, he's NOT that same JW guy you've been talking about - ignore the above paragraph)
got any good porn and some toys laying around?
GODDAMNIT mango, you are a BAD, BAD girl. What are you doing this weekend? Interested in couples?

the memorial last night was nothing new.

two congregations joined together for the night in one building.
See, that's what I was thinking....liven the memorial up some! Nothing gets to you - stayin' fresh, stayin' cool, you know?
