I've been a big fan of romantic comedies since (at least) "The Princess Bride." I certainly love "You've Got Mail," and "While You Were Sleeping" too. But when I saw "Love Actually," I proclaimed it the finest romantic comedy of all time. Yes, I loved the proposal scene, but I also loved the airport scene in which the little boy (fueled by love) zips through security and races to the girl to tell her how he feels about her and get a kiss.

Awww, Leo... I had a voice talent agent that used to tell me the same thing. Maybe there's still time?
Newscaster? That's exactly what Mom wanted me to be. I suppose the need to be a freewheeling entrepreneur didn't allow for it.

Ms. McDuckett,
My avatar is a representation of one of my favorite artists, Dave Matthews of Dave Matthews Band. And it wasn't actually my office; just that of the photographer who was taking my pictures today.

Okay, I've never done this before--chiefly because I've never had nothing to post. But I needed some shots taken for a couple of websites, so here they are. I'm wondering which ones look best to you. If you had to pick three and leave out three, which would they be?
Thanks in advance,

These may not be exactly what you're looking for, but some may be helpful...

“The first essential for study is the right condition of mind and heart, appreciating that Jehovah grants understanding only to the meek, and not to the stiff-necked. If we have love for Jehovah and for the organization of his people we shall not be suspicious, but shall, as the Bible says, 'believe all things,' all the things that The Watchtower brings out…” [Qualified, 1955, page 156]
“Jehovah is not pleased if we receive that food as though it might contain something harmful. We should have confidence in the channel God is using.” [Watchtower, February 15, 1981, page 19]
“…survival of individuals today depends on their faith and their loyal association with the earthly part of Jehovah's universal organization.” [Watchtower, May 15, 2006]
“Unlike the clergy class, those of the Jeremiah class have been sent by Jehovah to speak in his name.” [Watchtower, Sept. 1, 1979, p. 29, underlining added]
“So Jehovah’s visible organization came off victorious once again to his vindication. For dedicated, baptized persons to share in that victory, what did it take? Faith in Jehovah’s theocratic organization.” [Watchtower, March 1, 1979, page 18, underlining added]
“How is such independent thinking manifested? A common way is by questioning the counsel that is provided by God’s visible organization.” [Watchtower, January 15, 1983, p. 22]
"Unless we are in touch with this channel of communication that God is using, we will not progress along the road to life, no matter how much Bible reading we do.” [Watchtower, December 1, 1981, p. 27]
"Those who desire life in the New Order must come into a right relationship with the organization." [Watchtower, November 15, 1981, pp. 16-17]

I'm so sorry, Shell. Take comfort in knowing that more and more JWs are "figuring it out," and that this is especially true among the younger generation. I'd suggest not doing anything (in addition to separating yourself from the religion) that might alienate you from your family.
My Love,

The origin of myths...
by Confession in"if a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it.
if, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence.
the origin of myths is explained in this way.".
