my sig other thinks i can read minds or something!
she doesn't want jewelry - just bought her a diamond ring for her b-day.
she has a new laptop, perfume, clothing, etc... i have no idea what to get - she actually told me not to get anything... does it look like i have stupid written on my face :).
But seriously... my fiancee suggests a cooking class to make like chocolates or candies or something like that. They have them at Central Market if you're in Texas. You could always do something romantic, maybe tickets to go see a musical or something like that?
You're right, though, most women are terribly hard to buy for.

jehovah's witnesses and the anti-cult movement: a human rights perspectivejohn b. brown, ii (social educator, tucson, arizona)human rights issues and religious freedomthe issues created by anticult fervor can be recapitulated in the following points.
It's definitely violating the rights of witnesses to kidnap and "deprogram" them, but there is nothing wrong with telling people they're stupid. It's part of freedom of speech and religion as well.
On another similar note, the recruitment methods of cults deprive members of their freedom of religion by purposefully misleading them about what type of group they are joining up with. I'm not sure, however, if the JWs are bad enough about that that that statement is true of them. [That that that? ]
i mean, the sign could have said "no lotions, oils, chemicals, etc.".
not trying to inflame, but to "educate" the ignorant (i.e., those who say there is no racism "anymore"... that folks should "get over it"... or that it shouldn't be mentioned).
I did read the bill, and I do find it scary. Even bad americans have the right to a trial by jury. It's the foundation of the US justice system. Also, that is only the Senate Bil. The House Bill doesn't include the wording, and the compromise bill probably won't because Obama has threatened to veto it.
remember, you don't have to read or respond to all the threads on jwn espcially if the topic, annoys, offends, irritates, confuses, perplexes, anatgonizes, angers, or distresses you.
jwn does have side effects including, dizziness, gas, unwanted pregnancy, premature ejaculation, nausea, heavy periods, irritiable bowel syndrome, irritibale personality syndrome, bi-polar disorder, schitzophrenia, alzheimer's, heart disease and stroke.. althought these side effects are rare and have only been reported and not directly linked to jwn in controlled studies, you should still consult and attorney every time before reading, posting, loggin-in, thinking about posting, thinking about logging in, meditation, consideration of vocalization, typing, writing with chalk or charcoal, or making heiroglyphic cave paintings.. a public service annoucement from cagefighter and he does not represent jwn in any way, so disregard everything you just read..
it is my understanding, correct me if i am wrong, that during the km school, the instructors have elders write notes in the margins of the shepherd book, notes that legal does not want in print, and perhaps by extension, extra tidbits they don't want leaked to the public and/or average witness.. .
can you share some of these from the latest km school?.
Apparently the actor that plays Troy was raised to be a Jehovah's Witness... I think they just didn't want to push it, but were interested in using the character for the concept. Like it was said in the article, Jehovah's Witnesses aren't very interesting for sitcoms.
With the amount of stuff I've seen and heard at schools involving religious persecution, racism, zero tolerance policies, etc., there is very little that would surprise me these days.
EDIT: Ah... I do see where they got the quote from. Still, even if what he really said was outright sexual, the punishment does not fit the crime.
