If you have to ask-get your degree. If your desire to have a child is not overwhelming you might resent how much more difficult getting your degree is with a baby or toddler. 40 is the new 30. There is plenty of time.

SOP and fastJehu, Were you reading my mind? When I showed the pic to hubby we said, "They might as well build a full fledged theme park and rake in the $$$" Edited to add: Paradise Park coming SOON. I want to be able to get royalities.

I Was Asked To Perform A Marriage Ceremony But Don't Know I'm Qualified
by minimus inmy girlfriend's daughter and her fiancee asked me to marry them last night.
they live in connecticut and will be married in new york.
i felt honored that i was asked but i don't think i can do it because i am not a clergyman or minister and my u derstanding is that only clergy or judges and lawyers and justice of the peace can perform a wedding ceremony and marry a couple.. does anyone have any information on this subject?

The Present Truth is the Truth and the Old Truth is the Truth, even if they contradict.
by garyneal inthat is the conclusion you must accept if you are a jehovah's witness as my wife tries to explain to me that even if what they are teaching today contradicts what they were previously teaching, they had the truth then and they have the truth now.
the difference is, they (the witnesses and the governing body) simply believed that what they were teaching at the time was the truth but when they discovered new information they adjusted their thinking.
so since they formerly believed it to be the truth, they were in the truth.. an example she gave involved people who once believed the earth was flat.

You know the Isrealites who sacrificed their babies to Moleck HAD to be the most sincere people born. As God's chosen people they were in the Truth so to speak. Where did the individual Isrealite's loyalty belong? To the Truth? the King (organization)? or Jehovah? When I was asked that I was speechless.

Present truth is the Truth. Past contradicting truth is also the Truth. Sorry. those statements are mutually exclusive. What if your wife decided to stick with an old truth instead of the new version? Before 1952 JW's were allowed to celebrate birthdays and it was the Truth. Have her try it now and see what happens. I've decided this religion is steeped in Schizophrenia.

Gustav, It may be hard to believe, but it is possible to meet up with friends for dinner without having to wear a sweaty wrinkled dry clean only suit/dress due to the fact that you have been sitting for hours listening/tuning out a soon to be outdated hopelessly boring program.

A question for my friends in the USA about cowboys.
by punkofnice inas a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.
later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.
we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.

Gregor, The pic you posted looks very much like my family photos. Real cowboys wear wide brim hats that don't curl up much . They need as much shade as possible. The clothes are rugged and a little little loose so they breathe and don't chafe. At the end of the day they get sweaty and dirty and smell like their horse.
