celtic mark is often seen to be swimming out of his depth when it comes to the psychological makeup of women.
frankly, they puzzle me, quite irksome creatures, endearing yes, but still ruddy irksome, flummox me a tad they do, so in sagitaurian putting your foot in it style, i am asking you for your advice.. when it comes to the ladies, what attitude is it specifically in a guy that you enjoy seeing displayed towards you?
what actions on the guys behalf make you smile or laugh or shriek out in utter exasperation at our endeavours to win over your favour?
Nicely put Joanna - good points for all guys to keep in mind.
zenpunk -
Interesting. Insecure guys, it would seem - perhaps threatened by a woman who knows as much (maybe more?) about their profession as they do.Don't be condescending to her. Whenever I show up at a remote site, the process engineers don't quite know what to think of me and sometimes I get some attitude or talked down to. I hate that.
one thing that i enjoy about this board is the variety of topics that you can enjoy.
there is the "fluff" and there is the serious and there's something a little in between.
which subjects do you find most interesting to read?
Lately, the fluffer-nutter stuff. I don't have to concentrate so much.
I like Bible research too.
Getting to know fellow members has always been one of my favorite things here, no matter what type of thread is posted.
maybe this will be helpful to others.
how pomegranate became free from jw slavery.
it was just before i was 10 that my mom and dad began studying with jw's.
Wow Ric, quite a read, thanks.....I'm sure I can look forward to more future comments from you on the name Jehovah too. Very intruiging.
Trying to out-run people can sometimes be fun.
i have been laying on my bed for awhile now, trying very hard to just stay still.
today, i left this board for a break.
while typing it out, there was a steak knife at my side (from cleaning guck out of the mouse), but it beckoned me.
Salem, we're glad you came to the board with this, we'll try to help in whatever way we can. This is one of those times when it would be great to *really* be there for you; but even though we're not there in person, we care very much.
i have been posting on this forum for a year now.
"only" 2000" were registered when i came here back in july 2001 after lurking for a few months.
i was using another name at that time.
Andee,
Thank you for posting your personal experiences, and it's a compelling story indeed, as are so many that we read here.
I too am looking forward to continuing to 'hang out' with you here. Take care!

one of my colleagues who just got kicked out of the episcopal seminary in west virginia knows that i post here and proffered this scripture to me as another piece of ammo for us.
luke 9:49 in response, john said: instructor, we saw a certain man expelling demons, by the use of your name and we tried to pervent him, because he is not following with us.
but jesus said to him" 'do not you men try to prevent him, for he that is not against you is for you".
Good point Valis, interesting indeed.

Coffee break, and talking with some nice householders.
Funny how the jws say that they are doing "God's work" and the try all kinds of techniques, like some of those mentioned, to make that work more bearable. That's the whole problem - preaching the WTS way is normally not bearable for most people, so they have to take long breaks, run errands, etc.
And for kids? I have seen so many examples of parents having to bait their kids into the ministry with promises of a donut break. Sometimes, as soon as we would get into the car after the meeting for service, the poor kids would ask about donuts and break.
jsut a note to any horse owners:.
yesterday my neighbor's horse came down with west nile, he had just given the vaccine a week ago, at the same time as i vaccinated my horses, the local vets were saying that it wouldnt be a problem here untill next year and now there are 75 horses that have come down with it,.
so if you have horses and havent vaccinated them for west nile please do it, it is so sad to see the effects take over a strong, healthy, young, horse.. what has me worried is that with my l\uck im going to be the first person localy to get it.
NI, we've had two dead crows tested postive for West Nile Virus in my vicinity, though no mosquitos have yet been found to carry the virus here so far, among the ones tested anyway.
Oddly, I've had a bout with a possible virus all week, feeling warm (even though my temp is normal) and also feeling a bit sick to my stomach. I went to the doc and they did draw blood, but my results are not yet in. There's been a stomach virus going around here lately, so I think that's all I have. To my knowledge, I have not been bitten by anything. Of course I have been sort of kidding people that maybe I have West Nile (as I sit with fingers crossed).
