i'm prompted to impart this piece of priceless information due to a few posts on the subject of dating and compatability lately.. do you want to be able to predict if the man you're keen on will treat you well ?.

this is my yardstick: does he love cats ?

find out early in the piece about his attitude toward cats.

OK, my man is NOT a dog or a cat person. But he softened and agreed to have a dog.

Now, my dog is a total SHIT! He was abused by his previous owners, so he has alot of quirks and "issues". But I love him.

Well, he went missing for a day. I was crying and crying. I told my man that if the dog didnt' come back, I didnt' want to get another one.

This is what he told me:

Honestly, Palm....you and a little dog deserve to love each other. If he doesn't come back, you should have another little friend, it makes you so happy.

He may not be a dog or cat person, but he is a "Palm person" And that's what's most important to me.

i found this site hoping to read topics submitted by jw's so i could learn more, but it just seems to be everyone else here except them.

just about every topic and member is just bashing jw's and their teachings.

this site should be renamed "jwbashertrolls.net".

Intelligent dialogue got me nowhere on this board so now I'm just having fun

Apologies again, but I don't see where you have actually engaged in "intelligent dialogue."

People are coming up with the same stuff that has been debunked or can be explained with Scripture.

It could be because the things you bring up have already been discussed so much here, dear. We maybe sometimes forget that, while this is old hat to us, it's NEW!!!!! to you. Forgive us.

I would really suggest to you, that you read some of the threads dealing with subjects that interest you. Yes, there's alot of "fluff" because some of us actually like each other...........but there's a wealth of information there.

Honestly, one of the best things I liked about this site when I joined was that no one could make a statement without 47 people asking for links to proof!!

If you don't want to use the SEARCH function, then please start a topic of your own.

What is your biggest beef with "apostates"?

Then just stick to that subject on that thread.

Keep looking! Keep knocking! Keep seeking!

I'm sorry, but are you actually reading any of the responses to you, trthskr?

It doesn't seem so, since your posts address NONE of the issues raised.

I agree with the poster who suggested you start a thread for each specific subject you'd like discussed.

Or better yet, since it's all been discussed here ad nauseum, use the SEARCH function on this forum to find what you need.

Unless of course, you aren't really a "truthseeker".

Good luck on your journey.

i got this from my secret santa, you know who you are - i love it thank you.. .

That's only because you haven't researched the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

There was actually a Reader's Digest article on their fans.

Green is the color, football is the game!

We're all together and winning is our aim!

So fight, fight, fight through the sun and rain!

Saskatchewan Roughriders is our name!

Three Grey Cup wins in 100 years, and still have the greatest fans (hands down) - I think that says it all!

Go back one post and re-read TD's comments, dear.

I think you missed what he said, judging by your last post.

several months ago we had the visit of our c.o.

and his thursday night talked included rants covering several topics, with an especially long winded diatribe against "higher education".

he is pretty good speaker , and his choice of illustrations seemed to win an emotional response from the audience that ive never seen with regard to that subject.. he began the discussion with how concerned the governing body was with the decision some parents have made to send their kids to college.

My favorite fear-inspiring comment was that" a professor, in 5 minutes, can destroy what it took you 18 years to build."

Is the JW faith that flimsy?

Should I spend 18 years inculcating beliefs that can be unraveled in 5 minutes?

Excellent point.

i saw a few mindlessly working a neighborhood as i was driving the other day.

they looked so unhappy, just walking in baby steps, looking like zombies..

palmtree67

Last time I saw them (....first time in 3 years years, really....) I don't know why but I was COMPLETELY OVERCOME BY ANGER.......

I had to remind myself that they were just brainwashed drones and didn't know any better.......

Later though, I am still baffled by mY anger....
