Hi there..I am only 32 and just a mild mannered guy, but having just lost my father on july third from a fatal motorcycle accident I can understand the shock of a sudden unexpected loss...people tell me time helps. I just got some sleep...granted with some assistance but it helps. Sleep helps. This board helps a WHOLE lot...somewhere to dump...anyways...hope this helps some..
Sincerely,

this is from saturday afternoon program.
the speaker first starts with what he called the "alphabet soup" of degrees....a.a., b.a., m.a., ph.d., etc.
; he said they were nothing more than "sheepskins on the wall.
a bit late to this but...i wonder how my pop who has multiple degrees is being treated these days...he even WORKS in a college setting as a professor, administrator he practically embodies secondary education....and now an elder for a while..he has always been a big BIG supporter of education eventho he didnt really push his OWN kids to get degrees...ridiculous...

there are no new thoughts in this post, but i felt like this topic was timely, what with it being convention time again, and with the anti-education rhetoric they've been spouting lately.. .
there are many definitions and lists of criteria for the concept of "cult.
" this is only one of them, so your mileage may vary.
my simple answer to this oh so complex question is YES. IT IS A CULT....

thought this would be interesting.
easy subject.
personally i have a few.
Benny and Joon, a beautiful mind, Saw, Say anything, Gross Pointe Blank, Love is Never Silent....just to name a few...
Power....all those years of being told that power corrputed those people in the "world" and ultimately it is what THEY (the GB) were after-power....retarded....(shudder) so glad I am out of that....sad that so many still profess belief....

as some of you know, i have a daughter in college.
she has one problem that i hope some of you can help with.. whenever she takes a test, her mind just goes blank.
she knows the material, but she just stresses out.
breathing deeply always helped...course i think mr miyagi hit it best with the karate kid..."wax on...wax off" lol...but point being anything to center the mind and calm the body...some hot tea as well is nice...anyways...hope all goes well for ur daughter!

this is a fun question that i like to pose in social settings.
regardless of who your significant other is, i've found that people have a definite preference for hair color.
what i found even more interesting is that people usually preferred a hair color different than their own.
brown hair with streaks of white on me...but ive always been partial to redheads...then brunettes and blondes....but redheads always a make-a-me weak in the knees...lol
would you reestablish ties with jehovah' s witnesses?.
diagnosis of a potentially fatal illness?.
death of a loved one?.
Well...Ive had 3 out of 4 of those and I havent gone back yet! lol...course i have bounced back from 3 of 4 of those things mentioned...but something that seems to hold true with me is the harder I am kicked when i am down the bigger the bounce I make coming back...so...besides whether or not my life is crappy doesnt have anything to do with the singular fact that the JW's are wrong...regardless of the condition of my life...just my two cents...
