Hey, how about a picture of yourself?? If I could get up the guts to do it, then so can you. And who knows maybe someone'll start a new "hottest girl on JWD" thread just for you.

well, in the interest of fluff and foo foo stuff (and because it's a great hobby of mine), i want to know what peoples' signs are (no, not "keep off the grass") .
i have guesses about many here and what their signs are.. please please indulge me..... ~brigid
Let's see, I'm a stubborn Aries, born on March 21st, 1985. My traits?? You tell me.
My boyfriend is a Cancer or a Leo, I think - his birthday is July 21st, 1977, he's a cusp baby.
So, whadda ya think??
-Becka :)
please don't include anyone that has their real picture posted!!!
let's give the unknowns a little recognition!!!.
i like legolas, a-typical, almost atheist....that should get it started!.
I've always found AuldSoul's avatar quite interesting, and I love AlmostAtheist's picture of Fry, he's my favourite character on Futurama. And Legolas, dear God, is there ANY man out there hotter than Orlando Bloom?? And daystar, some people think yours is scary, but I like it!!
I'm sure there are more that I really like, I just can't think of them right now.

i will tell you why i think that you didn't get picked later.
Now that is just crazy. I was watching it unfold, and you really are beautiful if that is you on the avatar. Also, if it is not physically, I have watched you post and you seem to be a really sweet person. Now I could be wrong, but so far goodness just shines thru, too.
Thanks Sparky. Yup, that's me in the avatar, maybe I'll change it soon to give everyone a different view of me, just for some variety. I've never been especially pretty, so I try to be pretty on the inside, that's what counts. After all, looks fade, right?? If you're not a good person on the inside, then what do you have??

so last night, my lovely wife and i were about to sit down to dinner, and the doorbell rings.

two elders to inform me that i am disfellowshipped!!.
Ooo ooo, I want to see this!! Let me know if someone hosts it!!

I got mentioned a couple of times, but I'm positive that they were just pity votes, so it's not quite the same.
So, "picked", yes, "picked" legitimately, no. They were just trying to make me feel better. And I'll give it to 'em, it did, I felt pretty good yesterday, it was nice to see my name on a "hottest girls" thread, that doesn't usually happen to me.

ok, time for an update on the situation over here, post-valentine's day.. here on my own, valentine's day wasn't too horrible, it definitely could've been worse.
i got cards in the mail from both of my parents (and there was even some money in the card from my dad!!
on the relationship front, it wasn't as disastrous with my jw boyfriend as i thought it would be.
I've never really been interested in valentines day, but some day we'll have one together. Just have to wait until you're finally out of school. I'm sure it'll be very fun. :-)"omg...you're slowly breaking him down..YOU GO GIRL!
But remember this line...I'm sure it'll be very fun. :-)"It's coming...lol.
*crosses fingers*
OK, I'm trying desperately not to get my hopes up, but I can't help but feel a little bit hopeful now. I hope you guys are right!!
-Becka :)
i was still having problems trying to set up dates with becky.
i wanted to get dressed and call this whole thing off.
before i got off the bus, she wanted to give me her number.
Incredible story, Nos, I'm glad you shared it with us. You've had me enthralled since Part 1, it's been quite a ride through history with you. That's the kind of story they make into movies.
But of course, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
Thanks for sharing your story, Nos. I'm glad you've finally figured everything out and I hope you have a long, happy life with your wife. And congratulations on your wife's pregnancy, I'm sure you'll be a great dad.

not just looks, or intelligence, but the perfect package..... .
male and female, the one who seems the most balanced and mature.
a combination of looks, good threads, intelligence, and wisdom also.
I can't believe I'm actually gonna answer this, I'm blushing already!!
I think AuldSoul and AlmostAtheist are quite well-balanced - they're intelligent and attractive, and very well-spoken, too, or at least, I think they are. That's a good combination in my books.
Those are the two that come to mind right now, I'll be sure to post again when I come up with someone else. There are lots of well-balanced posters on this board!!

He on his way to NOT being a Witness. If he has preached to you against holidays it was probably as much to try and convince himself as it was to convince you.
AuldSoul, I hope you're right!! *crosses fingers*
Just out of curiosity, does he still go to meetings and/or door-to-door preaching? ; If he is totally inactive, what is his justification for not celebrating? Does he still agree with them philosophically?
Nope, he never goes to meetings (he can't actually remember the last time he went, he thinks they're boring) and he hasn't gone door-to-door since he was a little boy (his grandmother used to take him out). He is beyond inactive, but his reasoning for not celebrating is, "I'm a Witness, we don't believe in *insert holiday here*". He said recently that he thinks that the JW interpretation of the Bible makes sense and is right, but the Catholic interpretation is wrong - the thing is, I don't think he even owns a Bible, and with a family full of JWs, I'm damn sure he's never read a mainstream version of the Bible. He's also never gone to a mainstream church, for obvious reasons, but that'll be fixed in May - he's coming to an Anglican church service with me, and I didn't even have to ask him to!!
Sometimes, when you are raised in the JWs, you never learn how to give gifts etc and it may be wise to give him a "tutorial" on this! I speak from experience, when I first started dating my "worldly"
He's pretty good with gift-giving, he's given me several things now and he always has a small gift for me when we visit each other, he's just clueless when it comes to wrapping paper. He never wraps gifts for me, and when I gave him a gift that I'd wrapped, it took him a few minutes to figure out what to do with it. I told him that I'd teach him how to wrap and unwrap gifts and he didn't seem too opposed to that.
girlfriend, it was a steep learning curve for me, and in no time I was sending the valentines roses, buying the x-mas and b-day gifts, etc etc. But it will probably take some prodding on your part.
Hey, I'm patient and I'm quite good at prodding, so if that's what it takes, I can handle it!! I think that since he's completely agreed, without prodding, to Valentine's Day, I may have my foot in the door for some other things, like birthdays, and he's already said that he might try Christmas with me sometime, so this might work out after all. Hey, I'm young, I've got nothing but time.
Thanks for all of the encouragement, guys!!
