Ouija Boards

by StinkyPantz in

jw
friends

well, i was talking on the phone to my best friend and we started talking about aliens, spirits, etc.

and eventually we got around to discussing the ouija board.

since i was raised a jw and have only been out a year, the ouija board was of course forbidden and even a little scary.

I've heard that if you use one, you must be very careful, or you could open yourself up to bad spirits. You must have good intentions when you use the Ouija Board. A prayer for protection and wisdom is very important before you use it as well. I have known people who have used such boards and say they are fascinated by them...a lot of what the board tells them about themselves is true! They have contacted spirit guides or deceased loved ones. I would still be very cautious before using one.

Country music thread

if we make it through december,.

I personally like "The One" by Gary Allan. A lot of the country ballads are beautiful. My favorite female county artists are Martina McBride, Faith Hill, and Trisha Yearwood. I like some of Shania Twain's songs too.

Poll: Which is worse, Dubs or Morons???

by WingCommander in

just a poll for today:.

which is worse, the j'dubs or the mormons (moroni)????

in my opinion both are pretty screwed in the head.

I lived in Utah for about 15 years. I'd have to say JW and Mormons are about the same. Both groups are zealots and are very hypocrital, but then there's good and bad in everything, right?

i know many of us have had relationship issues and many are looking for relationships very vigorously.

now that you know you are ready, how do you find a partner who is the right person for a committed, loving relationship?

if you are in fact ready for a relationship, you should ask yourself the following questions upon meeting someone: "are you (my potential partner) ready for a committed relationship?

Xandria,

Thank you for your thoughts.....much to think about here.

Help with my camera...anybody?

by Lost Diamond in

friends

i just bought a sharp compact digital viewcam, and i cant get it to transfer the pictures onto my computer.

i am not too computer savy, so that is part of the problem.

i've gone over and over the manual, but i still can't get it to transfer!

Lost Diamond

Thanks all of you!! I'm going to try what Bendrr suggested...that sucks! It's brand new and it should be doing strange things, right? It does have a manual, but it is very vague. I'll figure it out...I usually do. I'm sure the information you all gave me will help. Again, thanks!

I've gone over and over the manual, but I still can't get it to transfer! I attached the USB cable from the camera to my PC....and nothing happens. I did install the USB driver with the CD that came with the camera, so that isn't it.

Does anyone have a clue? I was so excited too, thinking that I finally get to share some pictures with all of you. Now I'm sad.

I appreciate any suggestions you want to throw at me. Thanks!

Suicidal fear of rejection.

by seven006 in

jw
friends

the fear of rejection has once again controlled my life and my actions in an unintentional act of self destruction brought on by how i was raised to view life.

i have come to the conclusion that i will probably be battling this psychological whirlpool of self sabotage for the rest of my life and i do not think i have the ability to completely eliminate it.

talking about it here is a start.

All the time we talked...I had absolutley no idea! I feel as though I have failed you as a friend! I just can't express the pain I'm feeling for you right now....

You have always listened to me when I have needed somebody to hear me out, and you never once gave me any inclination of your own pain. I'm so sorry I didn't pick up on that, and I didn't realize what a demon you are fighting.

I don't have the answers for you, but I do want to have a listening ear. Like you said, sometimes that seems to help...just getting it out of your system. This posts is your first step to admitting your feelings about rejection, and I hope it brings you some comfort. Hun, I am your friend and there is no need to feel rejection from me, as I expect very little.

(((((BIG HUGS)))))
