jealousy is a waste of time and slander is an even bigger waste of time however i can understand how girls can get crazy because of the tremendous pressure that is put on girls to get married ...
oh and also this pressure of course is not from elders and other mature and wise people but like, other sisters... other young sisters who are getting married.. older sisters that are nosy and like to meddle... basically sisters that have not much to do but to talk to young girls and make them crazy
annnnnnnd of course once you reach a certain age you realize they are just bored meddlers, or crazy moms.. moms can be tough..
but when you're 18, 19, 20.... it can make you crazy haha
crazy moms ... or HOT moms? i like me some of the latter.
hahah so true.
I think something should be done about this... I like how the talks about not making a single sister feel pressured to get married are directed to everyone it seems except the mothers... when really they are the first ones that put the pressure on the girl. The pressure cant really be healthy for the girl, it's going to force her to make a bad decision that she most likely will regret for the rest of her life...
I think that's exactly what Sunday's watchtower article focused on...
Well now you know I havent studied it yet haha
No, last Sunday, buddy. The article about wives.
Oh yeah, I ignore those articles... I figured, Im not married, not planning on getting married anytime soon, so I just file away all the "How to be a Christian Husband", "How to find a Capabale Wife" and "How children can respect their parents" or really anything that pertains to marraige in a box under my bed until I feel that its needed to be REALLY studied...
except for paragraph 2 which said that women's lib apparently happened so that women can curse and sleep around
::grumbles::
the rest of the study was good though
paragraph 2 killed me
I actually commented on that. I said that the main focus of women's suffrage, which was in the 1920's, was equal rights for women. As far as history is concerned, women's lib was about women having equal roles as men, and I think that's to what the WT paragraph was referring. Are women happier on an even heading with men? No. But do they need to be married to be happy? No, Jesus recommended singleness for those who could make room for it. But the paragraph was worded in a strange way, I'll admit, but I think that was the meaning in connection with the rest of the study.
yeah i sighed heavily during that paragraph.. and the comments made by some ignorant people after the paragraph
the rest of the study was good though
I think all Husbands should wear a crown when they are around the house.
Better yet.. if the wife were to greet him at the door with said crown..
and place it as I... i mean.. HE.. walked in...
she should clap too.
That's a good idea! Haha
When I saw this paragraph in the article I burst out laughing because the society also mentioned women's lib in the Revelation book too! I totally understand the point but it just really amused me for some reason.
it was a good article for those still single because it reinforced the fact that the decision to marry someone is forever. i appreciated that my congregation answered very cautiously because it is a matter of opinion. i also liked how the spiritually mature sisters gently brought in additional Scriptures to show the benefits of being single.
where are you!? the twilight zone? i wanna visit!
dude, if you want to know why i said that, you can just PM me. there's a lot more i could've said. i edited myself BIG TIME.
