  A Sincere Question...

  to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you have peace!.

  i have a very sincere question to ask because of some recent comments i've received regarding postings on the board.

  the subject is on my mind... and heart... because of two similar incidents that occurred in my life since my journey began, which i would like to relate to you.

  I always enjoy your posts, Shelby. I think you express yourself beautifully. When I first started reading your posts, I found it a bit difficult... but over time, I "got" what you were saying...and the rhythm and tone of your posts. For me was never an issue of the words you use...

  I think part of the issue is that when reading "posts" you can't hear the inflection of the spoken word...or experience the personality of the poster. So what may be meant to be funny comes across as serious...and vice versa.

  But even when you can hear the spoken words, feelings can get in the way. When my jw husband (now x) and I would argue, he would always tell me to stop yelling. If you knew me, you would know that I don't yell... it isn't in me. I am extremely soft spoken. I would make it a conscious effort to speak even more softly during an arguement, so he couldn't accuse me of yelling. He did anyway. I finally concluded after many years of trying to communicate with him, that if I was saying something that he didn't want to hear, he "heard" it as yelling. I could have whispered it...and he would still perceive it as yelling.

  I think that the same may be true on this board... if you are saying something that some don't want to hear, your words become an issue...they "hear" you in a way that comes from within themselves...

  I was pregnant in 1975. My beautiful daughter was born in March, 1976. She is 34 years old now. I never really fell for the 1975 stuff. I was about 16 when all the hype started. My dad who was a 2nd generation jw and a servant in the cong (before the elder arrangement) didn't fall for it either... always said that we don't serve God for a date... and that no man knows the day or the hour...

  What's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?

  by A.Fenderson in

  what's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?.

  my personal recommendation: synecdoche, new york.

  it's one of those movies that words fail utterly to capture--which really is the hallmark of a good movie, i suppose.

  Sorry, he won't help you unless you call him by his true Kryptonian name

  That's ok... I don't need Superman's help.... unless he has a sleeping potion. Gotta get up very early... and I can't seem to get to sleep tonight...

  Hmmm… so which is it, Cameo… are you compressed air, or multi elemental odor detection or perhaps a Muslim tribe from northern India?

  You can take almost any word dissect it as you have done on this thread. Doesn’t prove a thing. Just hot…er…compressed air.
