Thought Provoking
by Okay..so here's some questions for all of you:
1)If you found out your boyfriend/girlfriend had AIDs would you still marry them.
2) If you did marry them, would you have relations with them?
3) If you did marry them and have relations with them, would you have children with them?
**Bonus Question**
If you loved someone but knew you could never have relations with them (because they have some medical problem) would you still marry them?

man..imperfection sure did mess up sex didn't it...darn you adam & eve!
i've thought about this before and yes i think i would marry the person. and ALWAYS use condoms
hun this is great, this seriously makes you think
1) yes
2) will take every precaution
3) NO
most definitely
If an HIV-positive woman becomes pregnant, there is a 35 per cent chance that she will transmit the virus to her child if no preventative action is taken. Every year, more than 700,000 children become HIV-positive via transmission from their parents. Some 15-20 per cent are infected during pregnancy, 50 per cent during delivery and 33 per cent through breastfeeding.
Let me put 2 bullets into my 6chamber revolber. Spin it around, Would you take the chance to get shot ?
aids is not metal, a bullet is metal
but the fact is to get pregnant naturally is putting your partner at great risk of getting it too
goooooood point, nobody mentioned this yet
umm i sure did. you lose.
wow... these are hard to answer... except question 3, which is an obvious NO! I hope i never have to answer these questions though.
1] Yes.
2] Carefully.
3] No.
BONUS: Yes.
1.Of course , why not. If someone had cancer would you not marry them?
2.Of course, Safe protected sex with somone who has AIDS is still 98% safe.
3.OF COURSE NOT. WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD DO THIS, One if you plan on having a kid... then you're both getting AIDS and BRINGING SOMEONE INTO THE WORLD WITH AIDS. And the stupidest question i've ever heard in my entire life. Anyone who would even consider saying YES to this should get smacked in the face. And i'll be glad to do the smacking.
The chances aren't as high as you think of the child getting AIDs from the mother.
i really like this comment. its refreshing to read something serious from tai once in a while.
Heheh...I agree. :)
dont get use to it. poop and boobs poop and boobs poop and boobs poops and boobs
Relations isn't the most important thing about marriage, lol. I duno that's my answer.
Yes, but going throughout your entire life not having sex with the person you love and are married to -ever-?
yeah, its not the most important thing...but it is an aspect of marriage...its the way things were supposed to be....soooo, even if its not numero uno, its still important
Yup, I'll never forget a CO giving a talk and in it he said to keep the love alive. :)
yeah that's true.. haha then it's like, what's the point of getting married, ha it would be like living with a roommate. Ick
No it wouldn't, there are a lot of special things you can share and do without having intercourse.
right, but i'm just agreeing with the above comments, that it is an aspect of marriage, and it would be hard to imagine, to get married to someone and never EVER EVER do that. It's kinda like havin a roommate. However, of course, my first thought when I saw this thread was that, relations isn't THAT important... marriage is about SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MORE than just that.
Add a few more O's there. ;)
Those are questions that I personally couldn't answer unless I found myself in that position. Also there are things I know about my life that would make it very difficult to answer some of them.
With AIDS it depends on the stages of the disorder. Is it controlled? Or is it still killing the person? There's a lot more to these questions then you the simple ones you have here. I honestly don't know the answer to them.
hahaha i can not believe you are revealing our late night parked car conversations
Ah! But someone even had asked me that question like the Sunday before. It's like..the current topic of discussion at small JW outings.
