There was an interesting TV show on in the USA called "Lie to Me". One of the characters practiced 'Radical Honesty'. Radical honesty was creepy and annoying for all the other characters and would be in real life. It would've required you to tell your student "Your picture stinks, I cannot believe you traced it and it turned out that bad. Your use of color was good though."

Liar, liar your pants are on fire...
by new hope and happiness ini remember as kids we would say " liar, liar your pants are on fire" and they wern't were they.
so that in itself was a lie.. but is lying always so bad?
i mean for example at an art class as a kid when i had to commented someones work, rather than be nasty, at a picture which was terrible and traced as well !

Interesting, the one 'brother' says the GB allows people in certain circumstances to only turn in 15 minutes of time...nice to know that the GB are the ones who get to DECIDE who qualify for those 15 minutes. The single parent juggling a job, a home, child care and spiritual duties are exempt from those circumstances...

What words has the WT redefined?
by Splash inthese days, virtually every public talk speaker thinks it's interesting and intellectual to include a dictionary definition of some word.
often the word is in common use and needs no explanation, such as 'exercise', or 'knowledge', or whatever.. now contrast that to all of the words that the wt has it's own meaning for, and referencing a dictionary for the common understanding of it would be viewed unfavourably.. words like 'generation' or 'men' (as in jesus is mediator between god and 'men' - 1tim 2:5-6).. what words have the wt redefined that you know about?
- i'd like to compile a list if possible.. splash.

I too am somehat vain. I put makeup on almost daily. I use Clinique, botox the eye area-which isn't cheap-every four to six months. Get hair cuts every 2 months, along with highlights. Lift weights daily. I get a lot of clothes at Salvation Army store near me, there is an enormous hospital system in my area and those families get rid of some really nice stuff.

American Rantings About World Cup Soccer (Football)
by RubaDub ini try ... i really try to watch football (soccer) ... it's world cup time ... i really do try.. i just don't get it ... i really don't.. yes, it's a world-wide sport.
in most countries it is the number 1 or number 2 sport ... no doubt about it.
it's maybe number 5 in the usa for professional sports.. from an american's perspective (i think i speak for many), we just wonder if these guys actually have testicles.

Watching baseball at the stadium is fun! Nothing quite like eating cold hotdogs with warm beer.

Has anyone ever saved another persons life?
by LogCon ini don't mean you advised them and they changed their lives around, kind of saving a life.. i mean right before your eyes, right now, you had to do something to save a person or they would be dead.. how did it make you feel?
did it have any affect on you?.
forty years ago i was working on a construction site and a back-hoe had loosened a large boulder.

A young Chinese kid was drowning in a pool at a resort in Florida. He was weakly yelling for help, in Chinese, which nobody understood. A sunbathing woman came up to me and asked 'Do you think that kid is drowning?' Up until that moment I was as oblivious as everyone else. Being a very good swimmer I jumped in and grabbed him and with the help of the sunbathing woman, dragged him out of the water. Poor kid just lay on the pool deck gasping for air.
