No you don't get it. That character said, "Gimme my ten million dollars" and was overjoyed when he got it!

"mental wondering in the wilderness"... uh oh.... it's a long post from snakes.... lol.

yep... i think that is the best way to describe where i am at in life right now.

if you have read my past posts (mostly in the private section) you know some of my history as a life-long (now former) witness.. i have been away from the jw religion, for all intents and purposes, since dec. 06, though it was not until sept 07 that i stopped attending meetings.

Snakes,

Can I suggest something? Thanks for posting this first of all.

Secondly if you live near a University which has psychology degrees, there is more than likely a student who would love to case study you, and even though they couldn't give you advice, might be able to ask some questions that would help you.

I wish you the best.

PS come to Modern Chat, Jim Knapp who is an ex-jw and a licensed therapist, has sessions for $10.

Anyone that's interested.

PM me for the address.

I found the cool advice on how to do it so helpfull and supportive (thanks to all!) but I am willing and able to assert myself when called so to do,but thanks again for posting,it may keep some of the "Fluff" type threads down to a minimum.

Hi Wobble,

I haven't really been active on this board, and it looked like a new pattern to me. Wasn't sure if it was newbies, but wanted to remind people, especially the ladies, that predators know exactly who makes a good victim. So don't be a victim. Assert yourself.

don't let these creeps touch you, insult you, intimidate you.

You're right. It is a good omen. We have a president smart enough to know the text of the full oath.

You FOOL. Justice Roberts flubbed the oath. Obama gave him a chance to correct it.

But at one point, Obama paused abruptly after Roberts reversed several words in the oath.
The oath includes the phrase "that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States" but Roberts didn't say "faithfully" until after saying "president of the United States."
Obama apparently realized that something was out of order.
Roberts then repeated the phrase correctly, putting "faithfully" in the right place after execute: "faithfully the office of president of the United States."
But Obama instead repeated Roberts' original, incorrect version: "... the office of president of the United States faithfully."
Later, as they shook hands before a lunch in the Capitol, Roberts chatted briefly with Obama and appeared to say that the mistake was his fault, not Obama's.
