  i have been wondering lately.. .

  for a while now i don't really hear from my witness friend and not that it bothers me much anymore, but i call her like once a month or so and she usually stays on the phone long enough to tell me how much she "misses me," for like 5 minutes (as opposed to the hours that she used to call me to talk for every night.

  ) then she says "well i will call you later, ok?

  Yep, that's it. Sorry, but that's the way the JW mindset works. She feels guilty every time she talks to you, especially if she doesn't try to attract you back to the Kingdom Hall. It's a real shame. As a JW, I blew off some "worldly" people that were actually some of the best friends I had.

  Yah I think she knows she can't get me back into the KH.

  It's just really frustrating!! LOL

  I mean I care about her and I want to know how she's doing, and so I don't call her on it. Although I have thought about writing her an email and telling her I would really appreciate it if she would just tell me what the deal is, if I am too worldly of association for her or what, I would like to hear it come out of her mouth instead of just blowing me off.

  Blowing people off is about as irritating as can be and prob even falls under their defenition of "worldly"

  I guess it doesn't make sense to me as to why she'd feel the need to do this? It is not like I am df'd or da'd and I was never even baptized. I guess people like me just fall into the worldly association category and should be avoided LOL

  I'm no good at READING driving directions. I regularly end up an hour out of the way and have to turn back around and figure out where the heck I am. *walks into gas station* "Where am I?"

  I am no good at patience...at all.

  I am no good at taking critisism without thinking someone hates me LOL

  I am no good at keeping a straight face if I think something is funny...I start turning red and making funny noises trying to stifle my laughter.

  I am no good at coming out of my shell and talking to people--some misinterpret it as me being rude but really I am just being shy.

  "28 Days" Because it is silly and it has my same dumb sense of humor and because it is very intense and deep at the same time

  "Fried Green Tomatoes" because it is a touching movie...and because Idgy and Ruth are just the kind of people that would be a BLAST to hang around with!

  "Fly Away Home" because it is a beautiful movie with beautiful music and because I love animals and adventures

  "Erin Brockovich" because Julia Roberts plays a smart@ss, hilarious, yet very compassionate character and I just love her in that movie, and because they all kick the bad guys' BUTTS!! (although not literally)

  "A Rumor of Angels" because it is the most beautiful, touching movie I have ever seen.

  "Beyond Borders" because it is very dramatic and touching and makes you think

  I don't blame this guy for moving on......he's flesh and blood and who can can we wouldn't all do the same thing if we were in that situation? I would not want to go the rest of my life in no relationship with someone.

  I'm not saying I can blame him for it I just think he shouldn't be in charge of her if he has moved on.

  Have you experienced a Tornado?

  today, a small tornado touched down in south san francisco and people went nutz.

  it was very localized and basically blew out a few windows, but looking at the local news you'd think that the sky was falling.

  since some of you live in 'tornado alley', can you please enlighten us californians as to what you consider to be a 'real' tornado?

  My dad and I like to "chase storms" and we love tornados. (Of course we don't love it when anyone gets hurt or when someone's house is destroyed, ect..thats awful) But usually when the tornado siren goes off, my dad is already ready listening to his radio thingy and my mom runs in the basement while my dad and I are high tailing it to the car.
  

  When I was about two or three, my Grandma, mom and I were driving home late at night from Bloomington, IL i think it was and they were hearing bits and peices on the radio about a tornado warning. Well we were in the middle of nowhere at the time and didn't like the idea of jumping in a ditch as they were overflowing with water. Needless to say it was very windy and a very large tree flew in front of the car. The next thing I remember (I don't remember too much of this) My Grandma was carrying me, her and my mom running into some building and there were tons of people on the floor. It eventually died down and I don't know if anyone was hurt but I guess it was a pretty nasty storm.

  This is a little bit of information from Terrisfight.org:

  If Terri hasn't recovered after all these years of therapy, why not let go?

  Terri hasn't had meaningful therapy since 1991, but many credible physicians say she can benefit from it.

  MYTH: Terri is PVS (Persistent vegetative state)FACT: The definition of PVS in 2003->Ch0765->Section 101">Florida Statue 765.101:
  Persistent vegetative state means a permanent and irreversible condition of unconsciousness in which there is:

  (a) The absence of voluntary action or cognitive behavior of ANY kind.
  (b) An inability to communicate or interact purposefully with the environment.

  Terri's behavior does not meet the medical or statutory definition of persistent vegetative state. Terri responds to stimuli, tries to communicate verbally, follows limited commands, laughs or cries in interaction with loved ones, physically distances herself from irritating or painful stimulation and watches loved ones as they move around her. None of these behaviors are simple reflexes and are, instead, voluntary and cognitive. Though Terri has limitations, she does interact purposefully with her environment.

  MYTH: Terri does not need rehabilitation
  FACT: 2003->Ch0744->Section 3215">Florida Statute 744.3215 Rights of persons determined incapacitated:

  (1) A person who has been determined to be incapacitated retains the right
  (i) To receive necessary services and rehabilitation.

  This is a retained right that a guardian cannot take away. Additionally, it does not make exception for PVS patients. Terri has illegally been denied rehabilitation - as many nurses have sworn in affidavits.

  MYTH: Removal of food was both legal and court-ordered.
  FACT: The courts had only allowed removal of Terri's feeding tube, not regular food and water. Terri's husband illegally ordered this. The law only allows the removal of "life-prolonging procedures," not regular food and water:

  MYTH: Many doctors have said that there is no hope for her.
  FACT: Dr. Victor Gambone testified that he visits Terri 3 times a year. His visits last for approximately 10 minutes. He also testified, after viewing the court videotapes at Terri?s recent trial, that he was surprised to see Terri?s level of awareness. This doctor is part of a team hand-picked by her husband, Michael Schiavo, shortly before he filed to have Terri?s feeding removed. Contrary to Schiavo?s team, 14 independent medical professionals (6 of them neurologists) have given either statements or testimony that Terri is NOT in a Persistent Vegetative State. Additionally, there has never been any medical dispute of Terri?s ability to swallow. Even with this compelling evidence, Terri?s husband, Michael Schiavo, has denied any form of therapy for her for over 10 years.

  Dr. Melvin Greer, appointed by Schiavo, testified that a doctor need not examine a patient to know the appropriate medical treatment. He spent approximately 45 minutes with Terri. Dr. Peter Bambakidis, appointed by Judge Greer, spent approximately 30 minutes with Terri. Dr. Ronald Cranford, also appointed by Schiavo and who has publicly labeled himself ?Dr. Death?, spent less than 45 minutes examining and interacting with Terri.
