  anyone watch it last night?.

  i am really starting to love constantine.

  he just gets better and better.. carrie is so consistent, and so good, that i think she is going to win this, but constantine is right up there too.. i also really like anthony fedorov.. i like bo, but think the judges are a little "over the top" about him.

  I actually think this year's group is much better than last year's. I think tonight's bottom three will be Anthony, Anwar and Scott, with Scott going home.

  Carrie has my vote alllllll the way.

  Would you change your past if you could?

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to live with many regrets, thinking that i'd screwed up.

  recently, i've been thinking that regretting past actions is not constructive.

  sure, we should base our current actions by assessing the results of our former actions, but regretting decisions we've made is, in effect, yearning to change the person we are now or rejecting ourselves.

  I would only change things if I could keep the knowledge I gained from allllllll those stupid mistakes along the way. Otherwise, I'll keep the hand I was delt.

  Definately!
  
  I met one of the best friends I've ever had, or ever will, on AOL in 1995. He became a 'big brother' to me and helped me grow into the person I was meant to be. We chatted online at least three times a week, up until his death in 2000.

  Sharing birthdays with famous people

  by target in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when my husband was convinced to be baptized back in '74, the jw who studied with my husband went with him to meet with the elders.

  when the elder asked for my husband's birthday for his records, he said nov 12 and the jw says "not my birthday, he wants yours".

  my husband says, "it is mine".

  Do some WT phrases make you squirm?

  by jeanniebeanz in

  2. friends

  for me it's "the doors of the ark are closing.

  i can never forget as a child, being forced to see the graphic images in the publications showing families, mothers with little babies clinging to a rock and others drowning as the ark floats away.

  fathers shaking their fists at god for destroying their families... it's like some of the little mind control still functioning in there somewhere causing a kneejerk reaction of uneasiness.... are there any others that bug you?.

  I hated it when they would use the phrase, "Fellow Feeling." One, it always brought images of someone being groped; and two, they don't have any love or 'fellow feeling' for anyone who isn't an elder, pioneer or member of their family.
