Two more exams and another cert ... MCDBA
by Simon in.
.
i got my mcsd.net at the end of last year (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/63489/1.ashx) and as someone suggested, mcdba was a logical next step.. i passed "70-228 sql server 2000 system administration" last week and just passed "70-290 maintaining a windows 2003 server environment" today so i'm now an mcdba (microsoft certified database administrator).. i'm now thinking of persuing the 'server track' - 2 more exams woudl get me mcsa (system administrator) and 3 more after that mcse (system engineer).. multiple certification being **a very good thing**

Why I wasn't such a good witness.......
by Dawn ini was thinking about my past as a jw today and realized that i never did fit the mold quite right.
i studied, went to the meetings, out in service, and all those things so i appeared to be a great example.
and i really did love god and wanted to do the right thing.

I have been of the opinion that it is up to US to make the world a better place - and we're supposed to be doing it now. Jesus set the example - he feed people and took care of them. He didn't just walk around and say "well - in the next life it'll be better so keep looking towards that and listen to my message" - instead, he took care of their needs in this life. Much of his preaching work was accomplished through his actions, not his words.

Smoking shrinks your weenie
Good thing I don't have one! I smoked for over 12 yrs......quit.....smoked again for a little bit.......quit.......now smoke occasionally (about once a month when I go out with my girl friends - then hack like mad the next day and vow never to do it again until the next month when like a wretched weakling I do it all over again)

A spin-off to Does it ever get easier?
by Joysome inmy question is regards to family though.
does missing your mother ever get easier?
does not wanting to hurt her or even others in the congregation get easier?

hugs to all of you who are dealing with this. It is soooo hard, I know. My mom only calls when she needs something from me. She's 70 and I do take care of her when she needs it - but there's no visiting, no lunches together, nothing. She occasionally drops by - but only rarely now and I think out of guilt because she knows I do a lot for her. The truth is, if my brothers (elders) lived here I wouldn't hear from her at all.
Don't know if this will help you - but I made a decision in November (after some hurtful things my mother said to me) - that family doesn't have to be blood relation. Family is much more. So I have chosen to embrace those in my life that are truly family. I have two very close friends that are like sisters to me - they have replaced my brothers that shun me. They're there for me no matter what - and much more fun too! I have a mother-in-law and father-in-law that adore me and told me I was their daughter.
It's not that the pain goes away - I love my mom so much and wish we could have that close relationship again- but its not going to happen and I have to accept that. I think of the scripture in Isaiah 61:3 "and provide for those who grieve in Zion- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair" - after all - how much did those people really contribute to me as a person? If they are willing to throw me aside and treat me so awful - is this the family I want? I can choose who I want in my circle of family - and I choose someone else. I choose to make beauty from ashes.
