Re: Googling People You Dated

I have but do not know their married name always. Some have aged well. Most have married. I have been married nearly 50 years. My wife looks better that I do. She lost so much weight that she has to deal with loose skin. It will tighten up. She has lost so much I can see her hips. She had two natura...

Re: Charity story/question

JW teachings are very anxiety producing, and I don't think simply 'no Christmas' is the cause of that, or at least not the only one. They don't practice holidays or salute the flag. I don't believe that December 25 is the birthday of Jesus. This day was selected to hide the Birthday of Zeus. Is it ...

Re: Charity story/question

I have an idea why so many denominations and churches lean right or far right. They harper about abortion being a great evil to oppose but I think it is that churches themselves own or partially own businesses. I read a book written back in the early 70s called The Religion Business. The author was...

Re: Praying for Trump?

My prayers were never answered in the CoC. Today I have gotten answers to prayers. The problem is seeing them come in. I do not pray for Trump or even pretend to. He is an evil, vile disgusting person in every way. I did pray for exposure of the dirty underbelly of this country. I am well aware of i...

Re: Better treatment at a public library than a "Christian"

Coc librarian curmudgeons!! Shame on them. Sounds like some people I worked with when I was with the State. They have been there so long they think they can treat people like crap. They do, and they get away with it until they finally retire. They'd never make it out in the real world. :roll: :roll...

Re: Better treatment at a public library than a "Christian"

They talk down at me saying "Well we failed you then! You should know how to use any library!" I would say, "You're damn right." Then enjoy the reaction. There is more than one way to have fun. Most libraries are well organized as to subject. I would not know what book is submit...

Re: CYC

Don't know about CYC. I do enjoy sex within my marriage. I have been married 49 years. I am no virgin and have no desire to be. Different perspective when you have had many life experiences. The CoC is far to limited for me. The idea that you can impress God in any fashion is beyond ridiculous. God ...

Re: Hello again...

Whether one is the at fault party or not not does not matter if you forgiven. Each person is individually judged with all aspects taken into consideration. Nothing is hidden. There are aspects to any relationship that no human can judge. Jesus is the judge he is human but with God's perspective, in ...

Re: Public shaming

My region was awful with this. One time two campus church members slept together and the girl got pregnant and they had an entire lesson on why they had sinned and addressed them both by name (while they were in the room too!) any time someone had fallen into deep sin they would tell all of us, add...

Re: Hello!

The NICOC was no picnic, but not so bad as the ICOC. [/quote] What you said is true. I was mainstream in California. It was affected by people coming from the Southern CoC including NI. I will have nothing to do with the CoC other than to condemn it! I has hurt far too many people and is far too go...
