American Idol

by Mulan in

i just thought i would start a new american idol thread.. any comments on this week's shows?

i thought it was time for kellie to go.

i think she is just a darling girl, but not anywhere in the same league as the ones left now.

I`ll admit that Taylor is a good singer & very entertaining, but what makes him A.Idol worthy?! just asking

After last night`s show I`m definitely thinking myself that Paris will go home tonight. But what do we know!? I was very surprised when Chris ended up in the bottom three the other week! For everyone who mentioned Chris here, if you can have you been voting for him?? I`m all for him winning but something tells me that Katharine will take this.

Your first "worldly" heroes?

by apfergus in

one of the first things that i realized after i left the organization was that i could actually have human heroes who weren't bible characters.

now this will give you an idea of how much of a nerd i am, but the first person i began to idolize as a 17-18 year old teenager was richard p. feynman, the mid 20th century theoretical physicist.

of course, now i'm on my way to becoming a physicist myself, although i'm going into the experimental side instead of theory.

I was young when I left ( a teenager) so I wasn`t thinking along the lines of some of you here. I admired and respected my best friend`s (not a JW, this would be after I left ) Dad, he was a kind soul, with a great ability to listen to young people & give them small amounts of advice at a time. He had a big-heart and would help a stranger off the street, he showed me there was unconditional love that could be showed on a parents part. I still see him from time to time, and though his luck has changed through the years, he still stops and has time for anyone to listen to them, and his smile would light up a room.

I thank this man for being that father figure I needed when I couldn`t & didn`t have mine around.

i work at target.

back in the good ole' days, witnesses used to come in all the time to see me.

i would say that there were maybe three or four families that came in regularly.. since the announcement was made though, i've had at least 35 diiferent people come in.
