is it just me or does it seem like there arent any really great sitcoms on t.v?.
"friends" hasnt been funny in at least two years.. "frasier" was only funny the first couple of seasons.
"malcom in the middle" and "the bernie mac show" i can tolerate and actually find pretty funny now and again.
There are some very funny sitcoms out there right now, chief among them are:
Arrested Development--funniest, best written show on TV right now. Fox Sunday night, 9:30/8:30 central
Reno 911-Hilarious, superbly written and laugh out loud funny. Smartly executed satire. New season starts next month
Ok, my little friend Spooner. Come sit at my feet and listen closely:
This board is not populated in the majority by currently practicing JWs. If you take a few moments off from pontificating (an apt description given your declaration of your religious affiliation) you will see that you won't find many to argue with about the merits of Witness doctrine.
Stick around and do some reading and you might learn a thing or two about the 'truth' of your own religion. The worst sin anyone can commit is to think that the belief they hold fast to is the one and only 'truth' out there.
Stay and read and learn.
now we know what the problem is...

jehovah's witnesses"faith of our fathers: part one, were the early christians jehovah's witnesses?
I ran into this phenomenon early on in my dealings with JWs (the full story can be foundhere: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/44589/1.ashx).
I always felt like it made a great deal of sense. It seems to me that you might have a predisposition to imbalance--or an existing condition--to buy into the organization to begin with, and if you weren't crazy going in you'd have a good chance of becoming so during your affiliation.
i have seen many threads about avatars, here is another one:.
i have had this avatar for some time on another board.
i was going to put a picture of myself in there, but decided against it, as i realized this picture has some symbolism to me.
No big symbolism on my part, I was just avatar-less for months and thought this picture of my daughter and I was a decent shot--and frankly the only shot of myself I had loaded on this machine--so I used it.
I keep meaning to get a better shot uploaded and keep forgetting...thanks for the reminder.
tbn is having its telethon, and a group of them are singing this rather holistic-new-agey-sounding song, repeating the chorus over and over, "there is no god like jehovah!
" wouldn't the jws just love it!
"trinity broadcasting network" singing to jehovah!
Stick a fork in the Huskers....They're done.
Them's fightin' words, Mister!
The controversy over the bad decisions in this last year has turned my stomach and raised every red hair on my head, but a member of the UNL alumni and lifelong Husker fan I can't give up on them. It's in the blood--I'm willing to give this coach a shot and will be trying not to mourn too much for the integrity of the program.

When I read the title for this thread, the only thing that ran through my mind is how perfectly it fit into the Nebraska fight song (Go Huskers!)
"There is no God like Jehovah, good old Jehovah God!"

how many here use it and for what reason?.
how many of you buy goods in one ebay, only to place on another ebay and with what success?.
how many of you realise the advantages of ebay generally?.
I'm strictly an ebay buyer at this point. My husband and I have collections that lends themselves well to the secondary market, and we find some great pieces using it.
My husband loathes traditional shopping and loves ebay and online shopping in general. He can knock out his Christmas shopping without ever having to step foot in a store--talented man I married.
what are your thoughts on this?
would you date someone significantly older than yourself?
have you done so in the past?
Is a large age difference an issue in a relationship? Of course it is. It's not insurmountable, however. You just have to recognize it and deal with it honestly.
My husband is just shy of 10 years older than I am, and while I agree that the attitude that "age is just a number" can be thrown about in deference to the heart being blind to such matters, there are certain considerations one has to make with even a 10 year age difference in a relationship.
On a daily basis, it's a non-issue (aside from the good natured ribbing that is abundant at our house--"Honey, when you graduated from high school, I was in third grade!" or "The year you lost your virginity, I was six years old!"). I fell in love with him, it would have mattered very little to me how old he was. I suppose that it matters when you meet someone, as well. There's a period of in most of our lives where age means much less than it does when we're very young or getting 'old'. I was 23, he was 32. At that point in our lives we were pretty much peers. It would have been a different (and creepy!) story had we met when I was 15 and he was going on 25.
That is not to say, however, that any significant age difference doesn't require a little serious forethought. Planning for a synchronized retirement makes for some pretty creative fiscal management and investment strategies. Planning our family took a some consideration about the future. We have two children and have decided not to have any more (though we both wouldn't mind having another) with our age difference as a major factor in the decision. And even our 10 year spread makes for some fear about living out our golden years together. Fortunately, my husband has promised that he will outlive me, and insists that I'm lucky to have found him because a younger man could never handle me...
my grand-daughter is 12 years old.
she attends a catholic school..always has.
her mom takes her and her 13 year old brother and picks them up everyday.. well..in the past she has started crying when her mom pulls up to school.
If this is something her Mom always did too, is it possible she is suffering from an anxiety disorder? That she is so overwhlemed by what might/could/will happen when she leaves her home (a comfortable environment) that she works herself into a lather? Has her mother discussed this with the teachers/principal/guidance counselor? Can the problem be traced to specific treatment she's receiving at school? This is not a minor problem that should be ignored--if she can't face school she'll likely not be able to face going to college, or a workplace, or anywhere that isn't her own four walls and familiar surroundings.
One therapy session isn't likely to help anyone--and those who need therapy (especially children) aren't likely to come home from the first session saying "wow, I love therapy and it's solved all my problems!". I would start with the girl's physician, get a full physical and explain the problem and see if they have reccomendations or a referral to another source of help.
Poor girl. I hope that they can attack this issue head on and see if progress can be made.
here is the link to a document made for rep henry waxman.
it documents 237 lies used by bush et al to pave the road to a war w iraq.
just right click on it, then save as, or left click to go there directly.
People who think bush was okay in invading Iraq are not going to listen to arguments.
Add the word 'not' between was and okay in the above sentence and you get another true statement.
I'm so sick of people on both sides of this issue claiming that they have the 'truth' the other side won't accept. No one's cornered the market on 'right' on this issue. The tiresome rhetoric and inflammatory assertions of 'fact' are pretty much even.
