British History Lessons
by Utopian Reformist ini desparately tried to avoid this thread about anglo & american superiority.
i truly did, until i read the "poppycock" about the british war efforts in the last century.. perhaps anglophiles should refresh their ancient and modern memories a bit before launching such laughable tirades of triviality and supposed triumph.. first, did not the english employ mercenaries during the battle of hastings to win the 100 years war?
(since "expatbrit" is correcting me--i am modifying this)-- excuse me for my trivial error).

A Mary Kay 'party' is a sales ploy not a party. It's insulting! It's just another thing weak minds get sucked into. My advise is don't go. You have no need to. These people are not your friends and to go just belittles you. It WILL feel awkward regardless of who's there as their sales tactics are remanisent of JW, and other cult tactics. Best to leave well enough alone and get you cosmetics for cheap at walmart:)

The Rainbow Myth
by Ranchette inwe've all heard the bibles' explanation of how the rainbow first appeared.
now i not an expert in science but i believe rainbows have occured every since since light and moisture in the air have existed.. that would be way before the alledged global flood.. my dictionary describes a rainbow asan arch of prismatic colors found in the sky oposite the sun and caused by refraction, reflection and dispersion of light in raindrops.. my dictionary describes rain this way the condensed vapor.
of the atmosphere falling in drops.. here's watchtowers definition of rain from the insite book page 728,. a vital part of the cycle by which water that rises into the atmosphereb as vapor from land and water surface of the globe and falls to the ground.....at an early point in the history of the preparation of the earth "god had not made it rain upon the earth "but" a mist would go up from the earth and it watered the entire surface of the ground.gen2:5,6;1:9-13. hmm,sounds like rain to me..

Come on people, no more pesemism!
by Bgurltryal init's 'big black cloud over the board' day.
everyone's having their issues so i thought i'd share a story of another board so maybe the pesemists will see the brighter side and realise this board offers more than some people may realise.. before joining this board i was part of a small discusion board about rainbow brite, the 80's cartoon character that's all about love and colors and happiness.
i was happy to find others my age that still enjoyed her.

It's 'big black cloud over the board' day. Everyone's having their issues so I thought I'd share a story of another board so maybe the pesemists will see the brighter side and realise this board offers more than some people may realise.
Before joining this board i was part of a small discusion board about Rainbow Brite, the 80's cartoon character that's all about love and colors and happiness. I was happy to find others my age that still enjoyed her. Now you'd think that rainbow brite fans would be the some of the more nice, happy ,and accepting people out there.
Well i posted my opinion on a topic (i won't go into the topic but who knew it was so political) and was subsequently bombarded by almost every member with negative and sometimes degoratory posts. In every thread i posted i was railroaded by these people. They actually expected me to change my opinions on a great many subjects solely to fit into a rainbow brite DB. I think the saddest thing i read were the posts of a witty although somewhat imature(duh) 15 year old who was also persecuted for his remarks. In effect they 'broke' him and he changed his entire personallity so these awful people would be friends with him. One poster(i think the owner of the board, can't find the original post. It's strangly missing) actually praised the child for changing his personallity for them and called it courageous. I feel that it was not courageous but sad that these people had bullied a kid until he complyed with their thoughts.
I left after reading that. It's cult like paralels were undeniable. 'We will only be your friends and greet you to the board if you agree with everything we beleive and think'
during this time my boyfriend was, as he is now, a part of this discusion board. I was very enviouse of such an open DB with so many varying viewpoints able to coexhist, hence my own ensuing membership.
I have been enjoying my time here so far and became disapointed that the often lighthearted and more fun side of the board has been lacking the past few days.
Regardless of which side of the lastest topics you stand on, this board has something that you should all be proud to be contributing to. For me, to be a part of this mesh of varying opinions, backgrounds and stories is a privelage(Am not butt kissing! Am not!)
Can't we start looking at the positives instead of fixating on the negative?

My experience has been that no matter how much self confidence someone exudes, no matter how much you think they love themselvs, rejection still hurts and it still makes you feel a little more worthless. you say she wanted to go back to the course, you feel, because she wished to return to her friends. Well in rejection you seek those that will build you back up and sympathise with your situation.
I think she's probably very scared to enter into the job market. No matter her confidence level it's a WHOLE new step. It's like leaving your parents house to go into the world. You are now COMPLETELY responsible for yourself and your actions. It can be very daunting and i think she IS using this course on some level as an excuse to prolong her more carefree life(from the history of her education that you provided). But if you love her you help her through it. You support her. You talk to her about what her doubts and worries are and what, if anything, you may do to help her feel more comfortable with this transition.
What she needs is to seek an internship to get some experience. That is one of the hardest things about finding work.You can't get a job without experience and you can't get experience without a job.
She's going throught all these emotional things and an ulitmatum was probably the last thing she wanted to think about or deal with. So maybe she didn't think about it and just did what she needed to feel safe.Possibly she was angered by your demanding she change her life for you and ,in a form of relatiation, took the course. Maybe she's stubborn or just doesn't like being told what to do.(I can only speculate.) Maybe she regrets the relationship ending over such a thing also. Have you talked her about it or was it more like 'what? you took the course? Well screw you then, I'm done!'. Communicaton is necessary even at the end of a relationship.
You're right, you do have a say in your relationship, but not in HER life. You wouldn't allow her to demand you do whatever SHE wants with your life either.
Ultimately you pick your battles and if a 5 week course was worth sacrifysing your two year relationship then maybe there was more wrong than was evident on the surface.

Jehovah's Witnesses and arguing...
by Abaddon inone thing i have noticed, both in my own reportoire of personal habits and in those of others posting on xjw boards, is the tendency to argue.. i contrast this to a few other boards i've frequented on a variety of topics.
obviously there are disagreements, but xdub boards can get really crazy at times.. there is this tendancy for xjw's to argue like rabid dogs; hell, it's not just the x's who do it, current jw's are just as bad.. this is over and above the normal 'spit on the mat and call the cat a bastard' atmosphere that often prevails on discussion boards (although if you ever want to see a really polite board i suggest you go to a lifestyle bdsmer's board!!)..
are we all psychos?.

I agree that arguing happens no matter what your background. But I must say being an 'always was worldy' person with an ex-JW boyfriend for three years now I have come to see some thought processes and quirks that seem to be JW specific.
I can't think well right now. It's too early. But i intend to make a post about it sometime.
Yeah...i suck. 'y'all are weird but i ain't sayin' why'
Just...can't...think..straight...

ok...you left your girlfriend cause she didn't do what YOU wanted with HER life?
How was she treating YOU like shit for doing with her life as she feels will benefit her?
Even if you don't agree, if you love someone you support them. It wouldn't REALLY hurt her(or you really) to spend one more month not working. If she's gone this long without one and she feels this is what she needs i don't see why it's such the huge deal that you just threw away two year of culitvating something great with someone because of it.
If someone who is supposed to love you says 'Hey do what I want you to do instead of following what you feel will make you happy or I'll leave you.' I think I'd realise this person obviously really doesn't love me. If you truely love someone you swallow your pride and what your wants may be for the better and happiness of the person.
Did you ever think that maybe she has just had an incredible blow to her self esteme after being rejected by many people in her feild of choice. Maybe she wanted to go on a course she might thrive in to gain back some confidence so that she may continue her search for a job.
Getting your first real job is a huge deal and can be a horrible experience with so many rejections. She really needed your support not an ulimatum. She chose what she needed for herself. She didn't split up with you to do the course, she split up with you because you didn't support her in something she felt alot about. You have been very selfish. Ultimately your pride was more important than the relationship.
But i am sorry. Breakups are always painful and confusing!
