  I have fear of heights, on many occasions my work requires that I'm 30 or 40 feet up the air on a ladder or scaffold. When I'm first faced with getting on the scaffold it's a intense internal battle forcing myself to ignore me distance to the ground. I become comfortable eventually and I'm able to function.

  As for spiders I'm too amazed by them to be afraid, they are truly awesome. If I find one in the house I remove it to the back yard, with the hope that it will kill and eat the insect that had plans on bothering me.

  A couple summers ago my grandson was visiting, he loves to squish spiders. He were trying to explain to him what spiders do for us and why we take them outside. We thought he understood. One day he spots a spider in the house and my wife convinces him to take it outside and let it go. He gets the spider to climb onto a paper towel and then he walks it outside. He returns a few moments later and my wife asks him how it went, He said he squished it. He said " I let is go, but it started to walk back to the house, so I had to squish him"

  oh well

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/the_god_delusion.

  the god delusion is a 2006 bestselling non-fiction book by british biologist richard dawkins, professorial fellow of new college, oxford, and inaugural holder of the charles simonyi chair for the public understanding of science at the university of oxford.. .

  in the god delusion, dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that belief in a personal god qualifies as a delusion, which he defines as a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidence.

  I walked through the structure several years ago while on vacation is California, it is an interesting building. I wouldn't want to connected to a place like that.

  I has the feel of the structure having more value then the people that assemble there

  last week (i left on 5-17-10) i was sent to juneau to work i took about 5 gb worth of pictures and a few short video clips.

  the camera was a nikon coolpix l22, it's a pretty decent little camera.

  unfortunately it had a dust spot or two under the lens.

  You are welcome Hopscotch

  One detail I left out was I order to take the sunset pictures, I had to wait until 11:30 to mid-night for the goofy thing to go away.

  I've taken pictures of the sunset while on Maui and the sun moves from touching the horizon to gone in a few moments.

  The Midnight Sun isn't in to big of a hurry to go anywhere, it was from horizon to gone in maybe an hour or longer.

  Islam is the only complete system of living that is more vile then the WBATS.

  Absolutely every question already has an answer. It even has answers for questions you don't really want the answer to.

  I didn't know what a JW was, until I fell for one

  by headoverheels in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  when i fell for him i was completely unaware of his upbringing as a jw and only became aware once he decided to leave a few months back.

  being raised without much of a religious basis, besides the typical western christian exposure, i have researched, read, attended groups, read in this forum, to try to better understand him, and jws, but i am feeling at a loss here.

  he just recently left the jws and now i am experiencing this struggle with him; i am wondering how much of our problems can be contributed to this transition.

  His out bursts are the exact opposite of the "training" he's received. I'd guess he's more likely to escalate they mellow out.

  i was livid , what morons that religion has in it , he is a convicted sex offender ,but thats ok because hes not a paedophile !

  A fully immersed Dub can't fathom how you feel, that part of their humanity is completely shut down.

  The best you can hope for is to make a scene any time your daughter is not around and anyone sympathetic to the pedophile is around.

  If he's not been convicted then you'll have to be careful of slander, if he has been convicted go friggin nuts. Put a big sign on your car and park near where he works or lives. Make everyone that is not aware vary aware.

  If you know where he or his family attends make a scene there
