  for me, it's warmth and compassion, being approachable, and not looking down on anyone.. also, taking the time to acknowledge and interact with newbies.. i love those type of posters.. syl.

  I like those that reply to my posts. I'm not a "me" person but I don't feel part of the "in group" here yet.

  had a few that I dismissed but the two that I just could not ignore were. I was inactive but still believed just needed some space to think and an elder was looking for a way to DF me. He was told my husband wasn't divorced when we married. It was not true. Anyway... I was looking at goldfish and thinking about the being that created the beautiful goodfish... and it just hit me. God does not want to kill me because this elder thinks my husband wasn't divorced when we married. So the light whent off. This can't be God's only and true religion...

  the 2nd light went off reading CoC... that was when I KNEW they were FOS

  game winning homerun turns tragic - but then something amazing happenedwww.godvine.comafter this girl hit her first ever home run, she tore her acl running to first base.

  Temporarily tired of JW boyfriend. Should I: a) leave

  by SEL in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  or b) continue in my plan of eventually getting him out with steve hassan's help?.

  option b is going to be expensive but not impossibly so.

  but it would require more patience than i think i have.
