  Thanks, Robdar

  I also believe that our society places too high a premium on 'trust'. Trust is very important, but in my experience, trust is relative. If your version of trust means that the person you're with can never disappoint you, you're in for a lot of pain. Unfortunately, that's how too many people view it. 'you said you were going to call me and you didn't...how can I ever trust you???' that kind of stuff. I think that if you are in a loving relationship and you trust that the person you're with has no intention of hurting you, it can go a long way to keeping calm when the inevitable disappointment happens and you'll avoid saying something you'll later regret and be more open to listening - really listening - which I believe is the backbone of any relationship.

  I think that truly being ‘in love’ is very rare. People talk about being in love with someone who doesn’t know they exist but that’s not really love, that’s infatuation sprinkled with obsession. I believe that being in love requires that the other person be in love with you. It’s acceptance of one another’s quirks, which requires knowing one another very well, and still feeling that of all the other people you know, this is the one you want to be with. This has to be mutual to be real and if it’s not, well, you’ll soon realize that what you thought was love was really something else. This is why I believe it’s so rare – for 2 people to be in sync like that doesn’t really happen that often and when it does, it’s a beautiful thing. I’ve seen it, but I can’t say that I’ve ever experienced it.

  Just my 2 cents..

  JW-Based Reality Show !!!

  so as not to hijack the paulapollos thread, i just couldn't help but think about the possibility of a jw-based reality show.. i have two initial ideas at this time but other ideas are welcome..

  ) a "house" type of reality show.

  this would be like a bethel type of setting with a dozen or so brothers living in a common area and cameras on them all the time.

  "when you're standing in line waiting for a movie or something, anyone should be able to identify you as a witness by the way you're dressed"

  this from G. Losch when he graced my former congregation with his presence...

  I've only been kicking around here for a couple of months - it's the second time I've joined any message board period, and the first time I've actively posted. I agree that it's addictive and like so many here, I feel as though this is the first time I've been around people who really understand what I've been going through. I'll be around as long as I feel I can help in any way and as long as I feel that I'm being helped, which I am thanks to all of you!
