20JW GROWTH PREDICTIONS...ON THE WAY UP
by Mindchild inperhaps one of the most problematic psychological traits of humans and other species to analyze by methods of statistical analysis is motivation.
last summer, my colleagues at the university of minnesota published a joint paper with me that started a new field of science known as chronosociobiology, which is a study of social systems over time.
our first study was done on studying the motivation of jehovahs witnesses for a 50-year period.

What are men scared of???

Hey Xena,
My post was not to imply you don't have business sense. None of it was directed at you personally. I meant it directed at the differences between men and women, in general.
Women DO tend to go with feelings and how others feel about them, while men tend to go more with thinking and logic. Again, this is a generalization. However, I think it is accurate, overall. There are always acceptions on either side of the fence.
Besides! I'll bet you're a KICK-ASS boss!

FARTING at the meetings
by gambler ini'm sure you all have some good comical stories of pple farting during prayer or other quiet times during meeting.
as a personal experience of mine, the night before i had eaten a frozen pizza, doritos, and some old chocolate milk.
this combination produced the worst smelling brew i have ever had.

OH-MY-GAWD! This thread has me in stitches!! My kids are giving me strange looks while I burst out in laughter at the computer screen.
Danny,
Except for the one or two alway's willing to show their machoness by willfully expelling hot air, just because a woman is present. You know the type, Iam sure.
KNOW the type???? My dear, I MARRIED that type! "Pull My Finger" is a common game my spouse plays to the delight of our children.Tammy,
Notice he waited until AFTER you were married! Perhaps he figured you might have second thoughts!
For me, the worst is to be awakened from a sound, deep, sleep to a heavy, putrid, aroma wafting up my nostrils. A smell, that once it hits the air, expands like sponge dropped in water. If there were any microscopic critters in our bed, upon inhaling my spouses revolting butt bomb, they had surely met their demise.
Ok, I know this is off topic, but the hilarity of this thread has taken over my sensibilities.
yrs2long,
Too dang funny!!!!!

Hey there Xena!
So Andee in seeing where Mega is coming from how would you feel if someone like him refused to work under you because and only because you were a woman?
I'd THINK, not FEEL, Xena. We are talking business.Anyway, if a guy refused to work under my supervision, I'd tell him clean out his desk, gather up his tools, whatever; I'd call payroll and have them cut his final check. See, the problem is HIS, not mine. I will hire someone who doesn't have a problem. That was my attitude, and I never had a problem with males that worked for me.
As for you, Mega, I probably would have chased you around my desk

I FEEL SO USED
by Serena ini have been "fooling around" with brother charlie for a couple months.
going to his apartment and spending the night with him.
i am so in love with him, i would do anything for him, anything at all.

Andee
I would give up everything for him
Serena,
I do not say this lightly. He's a creep and you need to lose him, ok?
Now, in light of what you wrote, I think you had better find a good therapist, pronto!I wouldn't even give up everything for my spouse. Nor him for me. And because you are willing to do that, doesn't make it love. In fact, you have an obsession and if you want to avoid being buried in an abyss of despair, I suggest you start asking for some referrals to experienced therapists that have skill and knowledge in this area.
Take care,

Having been a woman that had men as subordinates, I can understand where MegaDude is coming from.
When a man directs staff, in general, he doesn't care what anyone thinks. There's an objective to be reached. Period.
When a woman directs, especially over men, she wants everyone to be happy and content. She cares about what everyone things about her.
There is also a conflict about whether or not she is too "bitchy". With all that going on, many women become rather overbearing or very indecisive. This causes alot of frustration and conflict with her staff. Females think and do much of this without realizing it.When I supervised a crew of males, I didn't give a rats behind what they thought of me. I let them worry about that. I had a job to do.
Didn't like working for a female? Too f**king bad. Go somewhere else. However, I did my best to be fair. It was business, not personal relationships. I had few problems dealing with men.Now, don't anyone get their panties in a knot, I know there are exceptions to this. I know I certainly was.

The Key To Happiness is...........
by ISP in........good health and a bad memory.
i heard that recently and it made think of the many of us who have suffered in our years of association with the wts.
trying to cope with a traumatic past is very difficult.

I believe that there is no key to happiness. That is a myth. Happiness is not a permanent state of being. Some days I'm happy and some days I'm not. Sometimes, even when all is right with my world, unforseen events can happen that bring despair and uncertainy. I'm sure not happy at those times.
There is an eb and flow to life. Unfortunately, it seems some people get more crap than others. Some seem to have the personal fortitude to overcome negative experiences, while others drown in their despair.
When I share a painful personal experience here, it doesn't mean that it still has a powerful affect on my life. It happened, and I share. Sometimes, others can relate. Unfortunately, not many of us have many, if any, positive experiences involving WTS.For me, although I do have many, I try to live my life with as few regrets as possible.

Saturday Nov. 16 I was in service when I called at a man’s home. He refused the magazines. So follow the counsel from our latest Kingdom Ministry, I took the opportunity to share with him the new tract “Would You Like to Know More About the Bible?”
The title caught his attention right away. He told me he and his wife were frustrated with their church. They had been members for over 20 years and realized they knew next to nothing about the Bible. They were even thinking of quitting the church and joining another in hopes of learning more about the Bible. He said they had been praying for something to help them understand the Bible better.I took a few minutes to cover the information with him in the tract and then I showed him the "Require” brochure. We went over a couple of paragraphs in Lesson 1, and since I had others in the car waiting for me I ask if I could return next week about the same time to cover some more information. He said that would be fine but ask if I had time to come back later that day to go over the brochure some more. Of course I said I would and we agreed upon 1:00pm.
When I arrived at the home with my wife, the man and his wife met us and invited us in. They had their brochures out and opened along with their Bibles and I could clearly see they had even underlined a few paragraphs. My wife and I ended up staying 4 hours and covering 6 of the lessons with them with their children sitting in on 4 of the lessons. They wanted us to stay longer but since we had other commitments I told them we had to leave, but I took time to invite them to the Kingdom Hall for the meeting on Sunday morning and we offered to pick up him, his wife and their children. They said they wanted to go and they’d be ready.
When my wife and I arrived to pick them up not only were they ready but they were standing outside waiting on us! When we arrived at the Kingdom Hall they were immediately greeted by everyone. They paid very close attention during the talk even looking up the scriptures in their own copies of the Bible. During the Watchtower Study they told me they were impressed how everyone, even the small children were having a share in the study. He told me at their church the adults go to listen to the minister while the kids were put in an activity room for them to play.
He then asked for the copy of the magazines he had refused the previous day and both he and his wife said they were very impressed with the friendliness of the brothers and sisters. He told me after my wife and I left on Saturday both he and his wife stayed up till midnight studying the Require Brochure and looking up the scriptures. He told me he and his wife learned more in one day with the witnesses then they had learned in 20 years at their church.
When we got to their home they asked if we had time to review more of the Brochure with them. We said we did and we covered another 5 lessons in the Brochure. Both he and his wife said they were so glad they had answered the door that Saturday morning.
He told me that normally when the witnesses called at their home they either pretended not to be at home or quickly let them know they were not interested. He told me he even recognized one of the friends at the hall he had been very rude to, to get rid of him. He told me that he was going to make it a point to apologize to him the next time he saw him.
Before my wife and I left they told us that after just these 2 studies they were convinced they had found the truth and were angry at their minister for not teaching them anything and telling them lies concerning Bible teaching and about Jehovah’s Witnesses. His minister had told his congregation to avoid Jehovah’s Witnesses at all cost since they were an evil sect that denied Christ and they would all burn in hell.
Before we left the wife started weeping and told us she was so happy that someone was finally helping them to understand the Bible. They told us that they and their children would be attending meetings at the Kingdom Hall from now on.
This needless to say has been a very encouraging experience and I and my wife are so happy we followed the “faithful slave’s” direction and offered the tract “Would You Like to Know More About the Bible?” I am going to make it a point to offer this new tract to everyone I meet.
Your Brother,

Well, I'm going to throw my hat into the ring on this one.
Having been told by few people that, in person, I am intimidating, I quite frankly think it is a plus. Perhaps, I lost out on knowing some nice guys, however, the jerk morons of the world would also stay clear of me too.
I have to add though, that the only reason my spouse (a very sweet man) dared ask me out on a first date was because he knew my Mom before he ever met me and got the inside info on what I nice girl I was He was very sweet in his approach and I, in turn, didn't bite his head off.
I also have found that as men get older they tend to appreciate a woman of intelligence and independence more.
Andi, sweetie, just be who you are! I think you are terrific!
