i know as exjws, probably for the most, there was a secret freedom in watching horror films without thinking you would have a demon as a bed buddy.. i am not very fond of every horror movie, but i will watch those that have an intelligent side to it and is not gore for the sake of gore.
like "the ring" got me going when i first watched it, just like "the blair witch project" did, which is more about suspense.
anyway, i never saw any of the saw movies, so i am going to try to watch saw iii tonight, since it is on showtime.
I love scary movies with a good plot but hate movies that are over the top with gore for gore's sake. I thought Saw and Seven were over the top and without any real entertainment value.
I thought Blair Witch was stupid. I kept waiting for the movie to start. Finally, I realized this amateurish video WAS the movie.
I loved Psycho, The Birds, The Exorcist, Mothman Prophecies.
what would you love to find on ebay, that you can't find anywhere?.
I had an eBay store, which I'm going to reopen soon (after having surgery in April.) I've sold hundreds and hundreds of items and never once had a dishonest buyer. I've bought dozens of items and only been burned once. If I had read the seller's feedback before bidding, I wouldn't have bid. I have 100% positive feedback and read other sellers' feedback very carefully now before buying from them.
I generally start auctions very low for two reasons: one, "Fee"Bay, as sellers call it, charges an insertion fee that is based upon the starting price of the item. If I feel fairly confident that the item is a big seller, I'll put something in at .99 to start to keep my insertion fee low. Also, I can set a reserve price but still attract interested bidders because they don't know what my reserve price is.
Bidding just to run up the price is called "shill bidding" and is not acceptable. If you ever find a seller doing this, they should be reported to eBay immediately.
I always try to give the best customer service I can and be as honest as I can so that I will get repeat customers. It doesn't make sense to rip somebody off for a little bit of money and then lose a customer forever~and scare off future customers when they read negative feedback.
Read the feedback comments, read the feedback comments, read the feedback comments, especially any negatives or neutrals!
does the wts still discourage their members from starting a family.....like they did back in the 1970's?
our jw loved ones have no children yet, and was wondering if this could be why.. .
lavendar .
It's so telling that the WT tells the husband to "help" their wives maintain their spirituality by discussing the points from the meetings with them and then, perhaps, maybe, just a little bit, helping with the baby. Make sure Mom stays indoctrinated, no matter what!
When I had my son, I was thrilled to have to be on bedrest so I could skip meetings for six weeks. Then my baby was colicky....Then he was teething....Mom's have a built-in "out" regards meeting attendance; a great reason to have six to ten babies, IMO!
they showed families who were trying to be more "modern" (think big love).
to me, they seemed a bit evasive in their answers.
i don't know...the women on the show still looked miserable to me, although they claimed they were as happy as clams.. www.oprah.com.
I saw it. It was frightening. Did you notice how much the three wives looked alike, i.e., same makeup, hair, black boots, etc.? What was even more frightening was that Oprah was trying to seem "enlightened" and seemed to be trying to pass it off as a viable alternative lifestyle.
I don't care what the women say, I couldn't imagine how screwed up their kids will be. Imagine growing up with your father bedhopping between three wives.
The shunning was reminiscent of JW days, and the woman escaping in the middle of the night with her kids....
Actually, the whole, sick, twisted, "we can justify anything" kind of thinking was reminiscent of my JW days....
i was told it was like mixing with bad association , i found that quite laughable considering all the scandal that went on in the congregation , it made eastenders look very tame , im suprised they could not see it for themselves ,how hypocritical it all was
Babies born with "fetal soap addiction?" Where does the WT find this stuff? That is hilarious!
the other day child tells me how she saw a guy in a suit/tie and it just made her feel ick, thinking it was a jw.
so we were laughing about how a few years back seeing a guy in a suit would not have such an effect upon us and how when we used to see cars of people all dressed up on saturday's we always assumed it was people on their way to a wedding, and probably a catholic wedding at that!
because they do the noon mass thing sometimes!
Nellie, sometimes I attend Mass at the parish that serves our local university. I've seen students come in wearing their pajamas!
If you're helping during the Mass, such as being a lector or eucharistic minister or choir member, you're expected to come appropriately dressed. Otherwise, it's a free for all.
i thought it would be useful if we discussed ways we have tried to budget better and also save, and even be greener, if that is something you care about.
i have noticed substantial differences in my saving and budgeting and i am hoping maybe we can learn from each other.. food.
i did a sum of all the money i was spending going out a few days a week for lunch, and i just realized how much i could save by making my lunch and buying soups on sale for lunch for the week.
The best resource for frugal living I know of is The Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyzyn. Get it at your local library!

Dinah - Do you cook the vegetable soup before putting it in the pressure canner or just allow the canning process to cook it? Also, is this pure vegetable soup or do you put any beef in it?
I can pinto beans in the pressure canner, so that I don't have to fool with making a whole pound at once and eating them for a week. Just open a quart jar and it's plenty for a meal for the family.
i'm just wondering what everyone's favorite brand and type of ice cream is.
i recently have been able to eat dairy products after having my gall bladder removed.
i always thought i was lactose intolerant, but all along it was my g.b.
Ben&Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk and Ben&Jerry's Phish Food. Ooohhhhh, chocolate.....!
i took my son to the doctor and she decided he needs surgery.
the surgery scheduler was asking me some pre-op questions and popped up with, "are you a jehovah's witness?
" i blurted out, "hell no!
Thank you, Hope4Others.
