those things do sound wonderful. however, a single person who hasnt met anyone who makes him or her feel that way probably would not appreciate being asked when he or she is getting married.
I understand that. I'm just saying that as a person who has those wonderful things, it's hard to imagine someone not wanting them. Like if it was 100 degrees outside and I had a cool glass of lem...
I think that any married person who asks a single person when they're getting married is being insensitive. No question.

Even when people are dating i think it's wrong to keep asking them when they're getting engaged, etc - it just puts pressure on them..
Yeah, that's what I mean. I think every congregation needs a local needs part about sensitivity. Especially because we're so close as an organization, we feel like we can take liberties with each other and that's really not the case.
It's a good idea.
word.
cool. i think i understand now.
