just for fun, i thought we could post what celebrities people may have told us we look like.
i know, i know, it's all fluff baby!
i'll be the first one to say it....i'm mainly a fluff poster.
The only celeb I think I look like is Eddie Vedder. I watched the movie Singles recently (filmed way before he had a beard of course); I was freaked out. His mannerisms, especially did it. It was like for a sec I was looking at myself.
well, perhaps this isn't going to work. sorry

go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.

I have to laugh hard at Ashitaka!!!
and Carmel, that paradigms bit was interesting.
That's a good lesson for the future, because most of us are still carrying around an "I'm right!" chip on our shoulders. For now, we are right, to a pretty darn good certainty.
Not that we need to be saved, but it's still wise to be humble.

just one of the places where you can read a very interesting paper revealing the religious background of ike eisenhower.. i am sure many of you are quite familiar with this paper, but it has not been discussed on this site, at least in the last year.. since it is very long, look for some highlights:.
Thanks for your replies everyone.
that Divine Plan of the Ages thing sounds really spooky Orange. Maybe you should burn it before the demons haunt you.

Didn't think this topic would shock too many people, especially the old timers. But it's quite interesting in that we don't feel alone ---heck, we can all accomplish at least something, considering what ol' Ike did.

I don't get the point either.
I do, however, find it amusing.

this post is triggered by freepeace's post on alcoholic relationships.
i'd like to share a story of a friend of mine with the hopes that you can provide some advice or insight.
he knows i'm a part of this board and understands how much support/encouragement/advice i get here.
Valis and other's make a good point in that a mediator is absolutely necessary. Hopefully with a lot of objectivity.
One good reason was mentioned by several people:
'Dave feels as if Kammy loves pot more than her'
This is a BOGUS issue, but if this is what Dave and Kammy argue over constantly, their relationship is in big trouble.
Why?
Love is a drug. This is very very real here folks. Drugs are powerful because they bind to receptive areas in the brain which are normally for control of bodily sensations and/or behaviors.
We are constantly driven by impulses from psychoactive drugs, whether or not we are addicted to drugs synthesized outside our bodies.
Dave will try to administer his drug of love to Kammy in an attempt to override her impulses for other drugs and wean her from her addictions.
Psychiatrists are licensed to administer drug therapy. Not Dave. He is defeating himself.
Dave cannot continue to act as if his love can 'cure' her.
What should Dave do about the relationship?
Remember that Kammy is Kammy and Dave is Dave. Kammy is not Dave.
If Dave's love (= care, concern, apart from attraction and desire) is taxed too heavily, then he should redefine his relationship with Kammy. This is the real issue, not all of that ego nonsense.
Will his ego stand for being nothing less than the most important thing in Kammy's life? That makes for an unhealthy definition of an intimate relationship.

since i'm out of the loop, this was told to me by a friend tonight that since the canadian bethel continues to downsize, any bethelites that are dating are informed they and their future wives will not be accepted if they marry.. it is well known here that the branch built for growth that never occurred and continues to not happen so it is likely there is some truth to this.
this may be old news anyway, like i said, i'm out of the loop.. in the past (and correct me if i'm wrong) at least one could re-apply and have a reasonable good chance of being accepted.. these days a bethelite finds himself with difficult choices to marry and face the big scary real world or stick with the life he knows.
one way or another, the wt makes it difficult for those who wish to live a normal life.
In this case, why do they not accept more sisters to balance the male/female ratio?!
Instead of breaking their poor hearts by rejecting them, they should accept as many as possible.
Then there will be more marraiges, hence more 'happily ever after, see ya later bethel' stories to tell!

a very dear friend sent this to me.
"the gift of the gold box".
the story goes that a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.
wow!
short and sweet. I enjoyed that.
