Who's the coolest here?

by troucul in

jw
friends

been here awhile now, mostly as a lurker, but while reading alot of posts, i feel justified in formulating an opinion on who the coolest person on this board is.

so my vote goes to ....drum roll.... .

valis .

I'm not a party pooper, er.. I am not trying to be. But I find it extremely tiresome and childish to have threads identifying specific persons that are either the most "popular" .. the most "sexy".. the most "intelligent" stuff like that. It seems so high school like and so exclusive. I thought we were all past that. Everyone has something to offer. Why is it necessary to identify and idolize, in a thread, the people that stand out here? Why not just accept everyone for who they are and quit trying to put those who stand out a bit on a pedastel?

Anyone been assaulted by a Jw?

not including immediate family or sex abuse.

Avishai:

Good for your Dad! I really appreciate men that stick up for those weaker than themselves. Although I don't condone violence, sometimes it just happens to be in defense of an innocent who has no other way to defend themselves. I love chivalry. He may have been a Witness, but first and foremost he was a man.

i'm watching this show on vh1.

the hosts are adrianna and christopher from the sopranos!

they declared the end to certain things from 2002. my personal favorite was that people using cell phones will no longer be allowed to use the phrase "can you hear me now" amen brother.

I'll be glad to see telemarketing finally go away.. the FTC is making it so if you put yourself on the Do Not Call list, you can't get any telemarketing calls legally. $11000 fine. Glad they finally are doing something about it. I hate it especially when yer sittin down to dinner and the phone rings. Grrrrr....

I am not glad that the Sopranos is going away for the season. <sigh.. sob>

Scared Yet Resolved:

I have been out 20 years after having been raised in it from 3-20 years old. I never baptized, so I don't face the loss of family members from shunning. I also only have my Mom and brother in it. I consider myself quite lucky that way. However, as you will know, it's still hard whether you've been in 1 year or 40.. it always puts a burden on our shoulders and minds. It will get easier, I believe! This has been the experience of many.

Everything seems so strange and new now. Enjoy it, even though it might make you feel uncomfortable, and eventually life on the outside will become a lot easier. Just remember to take baby steps at first, and then if you feel your strength building up and confidence reeling, begin to take by leaps and bounds. But do remember to be special to YOU and your kids and family! Take time to really think about things and make confident choices for you and yours.

by badboy in

friends

.

i understand that epona(celtic goddess)was assoiceted with horses and fertility as well as possibly assoiceted with the isis cult in egypt.. wheels were considered 2 b religious symbols.. in view of the fact that both wheels and horses have pagan connections,should jws avoid them?

Country Girl

Riding horses? I think horses should be ridden at every opportunity, pagan or not. <grin>

My Job Interview Today

by Yizuman in

well, it went sorta shaky today i guess.

this is a temp service job interview and gives job placements for those who match interests between employer and employee.. i told the interviewer that i am deaf and can read lips, but problem was he wasn't making it easy for me.

his lips moved faster than the tansmania devil that i had to slow him down a good number of times.

Country Girl

Hiya Yizuman--

Have read of your trials in attempting to find more employment, your depression and your financial woes. It's so encouraging to see that you have had an interview at last! Sometimes it just seems as when everything is looking really bad, something or someone comes along and makes it a little bit brighter! I'm glad you got a suit, your sister was very generous! Even if it's from Goodwill, sometimes they have some really great stuff there... I love going there and rootin around! Good luck, Yiz.. I am sure you're gonna be just fine! Looks like you're well on your way.

Psoriasas: I've read that Evening of Primrose oil can help in this department. You can get that at Wal Mart. It also helps with PMS.. but I'm sure you don't have to deal with that. <grin>

Man accused of attempted murder of priest acquited

by YERU2 in

jw
friends

the man who admitted he attempted to murder the priest whom he accused of molesting him 10 years earlier was acquited.

mind you, the priest was never convicted on any charges.

because one law is violated, it's ok to break another law?.

Country Girl

I just have to say, this man was given all the same considerations as all other defendants. He was acquitted. This is the judicial system. He chose a jury trial, and he was acquitted. No one is or should be, above the law. However, on the other hand, lots of innocent defendants were put on Death Row. Our judicial system is not perfect, nor has it ever claimed to be. I have the belief that MOST Americans, given a duty to serve on a jury trial, really try their hardest to see that justice is done, and I believe that that pursuit of justice is something that all of us honestly want to see done. Because the guy did or did not kill the priest is not the point. The point is tht there was not enough damning evidence to put him behind bars. If the State had enough of a case, it is not my doubt he would have been found guilty of his crime. My belief is tht they erred on the side of caution, and that is good. Vigilante justice is *never* a solution, but if there is just not enough evidence, then they can't honestly put someone in jail. I think they did the right thing.
