so let's say we do everything that's expected.
what's the payoff?
Females are expecting males to impress them and not looking for qualities in males which they claim to - these qualities are in abundance in virtually all males!!
I beg to differ with that statement. What impresses me in a man is being thought of and treated as an intelligent, interesting human being with ideas, needs and feelings.
Not all men see women as such.
LOL, Noni. Too funny!.
I am feeling stupid. I did not know I could shut the flash off the camera. I will have to try and figure that out.
Nice pictures, everybody. Mine is going up this weekend.
Noni, How did you take that picture? What is the trick?
Last year I tried to take pictures of mine in the dark, but the flash made the room look like it was daylight.
some of you may know i'm a cab driver and i have been one for 3 years.the company i've been working for doesn't require a hack license.a hack license is a thing in my line of work needed to work in most big citys as a cab driver.you have to take a test to prove you know the city and if you pass you get your hack license.not many people can pass the test.. i've been working for a suburban cab company so i never needed one before.well a few weeks ago i looked into changing cab companys.so i called one and talked to the general manager about coming to that company.he was excited about it and set me up to take this test.i took the test a few weeks ago.i failed the first time but i had a feeling when i left that i was going to fail.not because i don't know my city but because the test asks for exact address of major attractions businesses and hotels through out not only the city but the county as well.. so the following week i took the test again.i had a good feeling this time.i tried to call the guy back and get my results on the day i was supposed to.i couldn't get him on the phone.i started to think i had failed again so i thought i would let a few weeks go by and call him again to take the test again.. well he called me yesterday and said i had passed.i am so excited.so my good news is i am changing cab companys.i can now work in the city of cleveland with out worrying about getting a ticket.now all i have to do is pass the drug test which is not a problem for me because i don't do any kind of drugs at all and a dot phyical.. the reason for the change is i'm not making enough money at my currant company.we are only allowed to pick people up in the burbs and that makes it hard to make money.this company has many school trips paid for by the school boards and county.i will be able to have the cab 24/7 if i want.i can drive when ever i want without having to go and pick up a cab.. i know 2 guys who went to this cab company this year.the first went this summer and he told me he's making between 1400.00 a week and 900.00 a week take home.i'm making between 400.00 and 500.00 a week now.so i'll be making way more money..
Noni, woo hoo! Congratulations!
for afew years a have been fading and telling my wife how i feel about such false doctrines as blood transfusions, 607 b.c.e date etc.
at first she would say "don't talk to me about discouraging things!!
" since i haven't been attending meetings or field service for over 2 years she has slowly quit 1. witnessing, then 2. theocratic school which she hated anyway but was forced to do.
Congratulations! I was out 10 1/2 years before I read Crisis of Conscience bt Ray Franz. That book took away all the fear and guilt I had for walking away. I can't recommend it enough. Please read it, you and your wife, if you haven't already.
i'll start.

hello all, and happy thanksgiving wherever you are !
i know other people started threads on this, but you know me, mr. analyze this, analyze that , what do you guys feel personally thankful for in this time in your life ?
lots to be thankful for , to be sure.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, and all of JWD.
I am thankful for my daughters, family, friends and my wonderful bf (who is the best!),
I am thankful that I can still walk and am not in a wheelchair.
I am thankful that I am using my mind to think for myself.
I am thankful for so many things that are impossible to list.
hey all :)
so i've been reading up many things gnostic (i know, better late than never right?
) and when i read about their theory on jehovah my jaw just about dropped to the floor and i found it to be a very interesting and intriguing that in many ways made sense with how jehovah was/is portrayed by the jw's.
I don't know a lot about Gnosticism, but I read "Jehovah Unmasked" by Nathaniel J. Merritt which deals with Gnosticism a little bit. That book fascinated me because it explains the sharp difference between Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament and Jesus' father, the God of the New in the only way I can reconcile the difference in my mind.
it's too damn cold for my liking!
all the people that have real winters will laugh, but mid 30's to lower 40's is despicably cold by oregon standards .
to make things that much better, the furnace in the house where i live died on monday.
We had a little bit of snow yesterday, only half an inch. It's all gone now, though. Low 30's this morning, 38 now.
wishing all who celebrate a wonderful and festive day tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving, DJK and everybody. Hope everybody has lots of turkey, etc. and, if you're driving or flying anywhere, that you arrive safely.
