  Just watching my daughter's High School video yearbook with her . . .

  by Madame Quixote in

  2. friends

  and thinking how normal they all look and act - having all kinds of worldly fun, very unself-consciously.

  my daughter is so happy with getting a copy of the video yearbook from her digital video prodcutions class at a discount .

  it's cool to actually see her participating in all the wacky events she spent hours throughout the school year preparing for the night or week before: the school spirit week, tacky day, the prom; the many friends and social events.

  My hat is off to you Madame!!
  
  I wish my parenting circumstance didn't include the ever-present Black Cloud of the Borg.
  
  Having said that, I think my wife and I are doing a pretty good job of not messing our kids up too badly. Just the other night, we attended a school concert that included one of my kids playing a song that was all about Chinese New Year. HORRORS!!! I can't believe my loyal-dub wife sat there and didn't bat an eyelash.
  
  I know......... That's pretty tiny, compared to the freedom your daughter is enjoying. Oh well, one day at a time. I share your joy and salute you!!

  Godhead

  by Messianic in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  romans 1:20 is the second place the word "godhead" is found in the scripture.

  in this verse the apostle starts off saying "the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen.

  paul was speaking about god's divine nature, and was not talking about three manifestations of god.

  You know Messianic, you could have saved us all a lot of time if you'd just posted that Avatar right off the bat.

  It pretty much says it all.

  But, then again I wouldn't have had the best laugh I've ever had at work.

  Later,

  Hey Aligot,

  So you were the brother who'd be invited to all the weddings to take the brides to the KH in your white ribbonned gleaming RR ?

  CLOCK RADIO. Just a replica. If I could afford the real thing I wouldn't still be workin' for the man.

  Have a good weekend all.

  Man dude!! Why don't you just put a big "Kick Me" sign on your backside. You sound like an old boss of mine who could blather on for days to anyone who couldn't manufacture an excuse to get away.

  3 big doozies right in your first paragraph:

  1. " in the name of Jesus our Messiah.

  Uhhh, this board is about as Christian as Pick-Your-City, USA. It ain't. Yeah there's plenty of Christians here. Along with every other philosophical flavor and non-flavor under the sun. That's what so nice about it.

  2. "This is a study........"

  Translation: I am about to pontificate. Do you really wonder why our very talented resident hecklers couldn't help themselves?

  3. "To begin,.........." (See # 2)

  Nuff said,

  Open Mind

  p.s. In your opening post you said you were looking forward to doctrinal discussions on this board. You can have them here, but not unless you revamp your style. JWD doesn't tolerate self-important fools, of which I am foremost.

  p.s.s. To Gumby and friends. Man guys, that's the closest I've come to losing my job while reading JWD at work. I was SOOOOO close to ROFLMAO losing it here in my cube farm. Keep up the good work!

  ROTFLMAO at Dawg and his Herpes-like persistence!!

  OK, since Dawg won't let it go, I feel compelled to share this quote from Beverly Hills Cop. Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) was trying to contact some snooty rich guy at a Hotel and was getting the bum's rush. So he gets all flaming, homosexual-like on the Maitre-d' and says the following:

  "Tell Victor that Ramon---the fella he met about a week ago?--tell him that Ramon went to the clinic today, and I found out that I have, um, herpes simplex 10, and I think Victor should go check himself out with his physician to make sure everything is fine before things start falling off the man. "

  Seriously though, it's healthiest and wisest just to move on.

  Although the milk thing........................

  NO!! Just kidding. Move on!

  Take out your aggressions on a pillow or your keyboard.

  All right Warlock,

  You didn't even come close to reeling me in this time. I'm beginning to enjoy your Friday afternoon lies. Please keep them coming.

  BTW, I used to own a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow in my late teens.

  It was one of nicest clock radios I ever owned.

  Enjoy ur weekend you god-forsaken Demoncat err... Republicrat....err ........all-'round nice addition to JWD.
