  I was a kid klepto when I was that age. To me, it meant many things. I didnt have to bother my parents to buy it. It was my little treasure. I had to work to get it. Bunch of reasons. Of course my parents found out and tried to talk to me about it and tell me it was wrong. It didn't stick because when you are 8, everything is wrong and you ALWAYS hear no. The thing that stopped me dead in my tracks was that my parents showed me what happened to stealers. They had a friend (cop) put me in handcuffs in the back of a squad car and drive away from my parents. THEN I listened when the told me what happens to people who steal. I havent stolen a thing since, my mans heart excluded. It wasnt too harsh and it was just what I needed to set me straight. With the new age of internet, I am sure you can find something just as powerful about the consequences of stealing. Hope this helps. *hugs*

  .

  the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve.... it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens;..... the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.

  but the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared to the pleiades in importance, because the pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of god.. j. f. rutherford, reconciliation, 1928, p. 14.. .

  PERFORMER (Dominant Extrovert Abstract Feeler )
  
  

  Laura

  Like just 6% of the population you are a PERFORMER (DEAF)--personable, self-assured, and excellent under pressure. You are extroverted and strong-willed, which, in combination means you are good with people and aren't willing to let opportunity pass you by. Congratulations. I'm sure all the peons you've stepped on never saw it coming and didn't feel a thing. (This wasnt true) You like being naked. (totally me) Anyhow, you have formidable creative talents, and you often following what your heart tells you instead of your logical mind. Your exuberance can earn you many friends and admirers, despite your ambition, or it can intimidate the less confident into keeping their distance. It's also possible you're Madonna. This test rocked, thanks!

  have any of you lovely yanks seen this yet?

  steven spielberg, the creator of the show, had a very distinct vision for the project:.

  "i've always been interested in the genre and i thought i couldn't acquit this genre in a two hour or two hour and fifteen minute long movie.

  I was obessed over Taken!! For those nights, it came on at 9, I was parked in front of my TV. I loved the way it webbed the story, I was so into how each character would turn out or what role they had. It was fantastic. I cant say enough about it. I loved the characters and I loved the ending. You will be hooked. You have to let me know what you think! I am a huge Spielberg fan and this blew me away. I am into sci fi and I have never seen anything like it. Im going on and on, I feel like a nerd!! LOL. Let me know!! *hugs*

  First off, hi everyone! Someone every special to me referred me to this site. Thank you! I dont really know where to start so I will just go for it.

  My name is Laura and I am 20. I am married with no children (yet) I want to share my story.

  I dont really know where to start so I will just go for it. My mother learned of the truth when I was about 6 years old. My father never accepted the faith but he never stopped my sister, mother and I from going. Up until then we celebrated holidays and birthdays and all of that. We moved to Florida about that time from up north. We started going to a congregation and met a lot of friends. It was great. We were new and there was this group of smiling happy wonderful people who invited you to places. We eventually came to be really close to a couple of families who were all related.

  From then on, we were all very much into each others lives. We did everything as if we all were as one family. Babysitting, cruises, dinners, weekend, football games - we all did it together. We celebrated anniversarys, weddings, parties and were very much into being Witnesses. When I was about 14, I started dating one of the sons of the family that I was close to. He was older than me and it didn't look too good. We got our share of grief over it. He was a good guy, very much into the faith.

  My younger sister stopped coming to the meetings about this time, saying it wasnt for her. I admit that I never really got as into it as most. I went to meetings and field service. The guy I was dating was really the one who kept me going. We dated for about 4 years. We talked of marriage but it was never official. In this time, I met a man named Mike. He was in the truth, having just moved to town with his family (also Witnesses). I became best friend with his sister and they joined our teenage hang out group. We did a lot as a group. I had feelings for him (and him for me) since they day we met. I was already dating my boyfriend (we will call him Matt) and my families and the congregation and the whole world was convinced that we would marry and that was that. I really didnt question it. I kept my feelings for Mike inside and squashed them, concentrating only on Matt. I was faithful to him.

  When I was about 16 or 17, Mike stopped coming to meetings. He moved out of his house but I still kept in touch with him. He was one of my best friends. When I was 18, something inside me had realized that I wasnt in love with Matt anymore. We had been together so long. Not the most wonderful of relationships but it was stable and he loved me. But I just realized that I couldnt spend my life with him. I would be unhappy so I broke up with him. When I did that, I realized something.

  I had been spending time with Mike and I couldnt hide my feelings anymore. Mike had tried to get together with me the whole time I was with Matt. I had resisted. But I couldnt anymore. I told him that I wanted to be with him and he told me he wanted to be with me. We started dating. We were in heaven. He asked me to marry him a week after we started dating in a very romantic and wonderful way. During my engagement, I went to some meetings. I was talked to about my decisions and told I was making a big mistake. Matt was already seeing someone new and his family was very concerned about me. I call them his family but I had grown up with them too. There was even an instance where an elders wife was gossiping about my fiancee, talking about things only her husband had heard in the privacy of an elders meeting, which the gossip was totally wrong.

  Coming to the meetings felt like torture. I knew they were talking about me. And having to face Matt and his family was awful. I did something to make myself happy and no one seemed to care about that. Only that I was dating a bad guy who was worldly and it was wrong.

  I was in love. The knock you out of your shoes, singing in the rain, skipping around the streets kind of love. I had a prince charming and I felt like a princess. We were married 3 months after the engagement on a balcony overlooking the river, it was magical. None of Matts family came to the wedding, naturally, including his sister with whom I was inseperable. (she now regrets it and has left the truth, we talk everyday) Matt had a new love, and was on the road to marriage. I was honestly happy for him. My mom and I are close. She slowed down going to meetings as did I. I stopped going about 4 months into my marriage. I will admit, it took about a year of marriage to work out all the kinks. I am more in love with Mike then ever was. We are doing great. I dont go to meetings at all anymore, niether does my mother, Mike, best friend (Matts sister), and another friend who was raised in the truth. We often sit around and muse on how peoples jaw would drop if we all walked into a meeting together. The rebels. Anyway. I am happy. When I went to meetings, I felt judged. The gossip was uncontrollable and the information sad and depressing. I am sucessful now. Very much in love with life. I have friends who have stuck by my side through it all and I love them. I am married to a wonderful man.

  I was turned away from. Those scars havent completely healed. I just wanted to let you all out there know that there is an end to the pain of leaving or being shunned. The people in my life who I thought would be there forever, simply arent. I am here to make new friends and learn and try to help others. Cant wait to hear from you all. *hugs*
