Gary, thanks for the laugh. I would love to go back to a meeting and attempt to be the last one to leave. I bet I could keep a couple of elders there all night trying to out-wait me!!!

unconditional love
by John Doe ini'm rather sick of hearing the term "unconditional love.
" there is no such thing.
love must be earned--it is not something given with no strings attached.

I agree with Gary - the action required in the case of a baby is on the part of the lov-er, not the lov-ee. The baby deserves love because of it's very being. It does nothing to earn love except the most important thing of all: it exists.
Along the same lines, I agree with JoJo - just like pizza and beer, sometimes people do absolutely nothing for us in return, but we love them anyway.

i feel like there's this heavy boulder around my shoulders and it's just pulling me downdowndown...i think it started last night when i tried to play my guitar...but i'm no good at it...you know that feeling where you know how and what you want to be...but you can't b/c you just suck at it...i want to be an accomplished musician singer...but i can't sing and i don't have an ear for music.
i feel like i have no talents...i can't sing, can't play music, can't draw.

awesome!! I just picked up my guitar after I posted and started playing it. I have been in a hellacious funk too, but I just realized (thanks to Heathen) that AC/DC is a pretty good pick me up. Have fun.

Hey UBM's - good things about being in a commited relationship with a JW??
by Why Georgia inin the spirit of jgnat's poll's.... let's name some good things about being in a commited relationship/marriage with a jw who actually follows wts doctrines.
i know there will probably be a lot of sarcastic responses.
i'll start.. because of my husbands faith and actual belief in the way he was raised - i know he won't cheat on me or be out in the bars.

Um, I can't think of a whole lot besides the free time on tuesday and thursday night. All the things I like about my wife are personal characteristics of hers. I don't think they would be any different if she wasn't a jw. The only difference would be that I wouldn't get hassled so much by everyone at the hall because we could avoid the witnesses together.

Heathen, this is for you, buddy - my favorite AC/DC song ever -
JoJo, this is a fun song to learn, even if you just learn the intro and the basic chords-

Heathen - not only AC/DC, but a lot of Johnny Cash, Elvis, Neil Diamond, etc! Of course, if you don't like rockabilly or oldies, you might want to discover power chords, then you can play almost any alternative song.
I like www.olga.net for tabs. If you have particular artists you are interested in, you can do a google search and almost always find a fanatical fan that has posted tabs. Also, the monthly Guitar magazine always has several tabs for popular songs. I learned a lot by studying free tabs and listening to the songs at the same time.

Probably going to a party at a friends house. Most of the people there will be inactive jws, except for my wife. Probably lots of drinking and playing pool, grilling steaks and watching fireworks. I'm looking forward to it except that I know my wife will probably feel not as comfortable as me, and she wants to get up early to make the meeting on Sunday. Life has gotten weird.

I'll join you in your funk. This last week has sucked for me. But seriously, don't give up on guitar. I'm not very good, but I still play every day, even if it's for ten minutes. I just know short little parts of a million songs and I get frustrated when I try to write my own stuff. But even so, I think it is a really good stress outlet. Just the chords you know will let you play more popular songs than you would ever have time in your life to learn. Just the A D E chord combination alone will give you hundreds of choices.
If you want to be lazy, put a capo on your guitar, move it to any spot that sounds good, and still play the A D E combo. Depending on where you put the capo, you can play in any key you want. If you put the capo on the third fret, you are actually playing C F G, fifth fret you are playing D G A, and so on, and you get to keep the same chord pattern with your fingers.
Anyway, try to think about what's good in your life. That works for me sometimes.
Cheers.
