i hear reports that they dangle goodlooking brothers in front of sisters who fall in love with them then snatch them away telling them they are already engaged or married. then the sister all pent up and ready for marriage has anumber of brothers thrust at her and to escape scandal of trying to steal someone elses boyfriend when they put him in front of her to begin with she just picks one she hardly knows and is quite bitter.

the bible says we are obligated to care for our families regardless of what they believe. i know that they the jws will have families put their teenage children out in to the street if they don't obey watchtower.

Never at all times i remember they are ONLY men, easily led astray by the smell of another womans perfume or
any strong personality. Many times they were mistaken and i always felt obliged to help and tell them. regardless of how they yelled schemed against me or resented it. if it wasn't for women adam would still be curled up in the fetal position afraid to live in the garden of eden.

"Having Too Much Knowledge Is Not A Good Thing"
by minimus inso said my mother about my research of the bible and the society's publications.
i read "too much", especially because it's information that imperfect men thought was correct that came from jehovah, "but they were wrong.
"

knowledge can save you. but apart from applying it to membership in a religious cult.
think about your day to day life. how to cope with the permission of wickedness, how
to get the most out of your existence. how best to gain true friends and be esteemed by worthy people.
how can you do this if you are in the wrong organization, whose only goal is to use you, to get you to
give up your own persuits and individuality and opportunities in life just so you can serve them? wash their
clothes give roomservice sell their products and make them rich while you get nothing in return.
They know that the more wisdom and knowledge you gain the more likely you will see through them
and their free ride at your expense is over.

im still studying despite all that im finding out, but he is strange his language was very dirty .
on one of my studies we talked about relationships etc and i said the guys my age were stupid and i wasn't interested in them. on his call he mentioned that and offered oral sex because those young guys don't know what i need. i dont think anyone will believe me. so i will try to get it on tape if he calls again and ask the phone company for incoming call reports. hope he doesn't come to another study.
