they look for some shoes right? you ask them if they need help and they say no. but they still keep looking in the same place and you ask them again and they get a B!TC#Y attitute when they say "I said Im just looking".

now if they have to keep looking then obviously it is important for them to find whatever size they want whether they really plan to buy it or not. otherwise they would move elsewhere. so why do they do this and not accept help when you offer it?

dont get me wrong, I dont give a rats @$$ if they find what they are looking for since I dont work on commision. but if they are struggling and Im just standing around cause they refuse help then it makes me look bad.

Yes i do work at a shoe store and it is customer service.

I like going for a walk/jogging on streets every night. Today, while i was jogging a car stopped by and some one threw a bottle of beverage at me. i was showered with the full bottle. I could not even note down the licence plate as it happened in split second. Now, why do people enjoy doing things like this and what would you do?

for example, you don't have to do anything in particular to gain weitht, i.e. eating any specific foods. All you might ultimately have to do is just like eat normally and excercize/live your life normally, and in doing so you could gain weight. But even if you did not gain weight you would not lose weight, either unless you altered what you ate/how you excercized. In essence, you were not even trying to gain weight, and yet you did anyway, without even trying. When it comes to LOSING weight, however, you actually have to do certain things, i.e. eating certain foods which are almost always impossible to come by and expensive, and excercizing regularily to even lose any weight at all. And in order to maintain your weight loss you have to continue to eat the expensive foods and excercize like that, like you can't just eat normal inexpensive foods and live your life normally or else you will gain the weight back and/or you will not lose any more.

I work with a couple of them and I always feel sad that they aren't allowed to celebrate their birthday, or any holidays, or just about anything for that matter. I don't really know anything about the JW doctrine that explains this, can anyone shed some light?

Where and how are people coming up with "God made homosexuals the way they are"...last time I checked God said "if man lay with man as if he were his wife it was a perversion."...why would God create something and then call it a perversion? God does not contradict himself. You contradict His word to flip it to what you want it to be. So I would like to know where did God say it was ok. You may not believe in the God that I serve but at least I quote Him correctly. Can you do the same?

Romans 1:25-26

25: "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator..."

26: "Even woman exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones."

27: "In the same way men also abandoned natural relation with woman..."

if people are going to make statements about God saying it was ok and He created them that way should show proof that God said that. at least I showed proof that God did NOT say that.

"gay people are here there born that way God made them. Jesus tells us to love each other. He tells us not to judge each other. Why do so many Christians find that so hard to Do? Souls Dont have penisis and Vaginas."

Quoted from a previous question on the boards: “Why is there so much confusion over the gay issue?”

If people find this offensive then I don’t know what to tell you. I’m simply quoting what God said. I’m not going to apologize for His message. If you have a problem with it then take it up with God.

The Earth...its size is perfect. The Earth's size and corresponding gravity holds a thin layer of mostly nitrogen and oxygen gases, only extending about 50 miles above the Earth's surface. If Earth were smaller, an atmosphere would be impossible, like the planet Mercury. If Earth were larger, its atmosphere would contain free hydrogen, like Jupiter.3 Earth is the only known planet equipped with an atmosphere of the right mixture of gases to sustain plant, animal and human life.

The Earth is located the right distance from the sun. Consider the temperature swings we encounter, roughly -30 degrees to +120 degrees. If the Earth were any further away from the sun, we would all freeze. Any closer and we would burn up. Even a fractional variance in the Earth's position to the sun would make life on Earth impossible. The Earth remains this perfect distance from the sun while it rotates around the sun at a speed of nearly 67,000 mph. So either god does exist or scientoligist is right. Alien

The universe is more than pure science; it is an awesome, overwhelming mathematical miracle-nothing becomes something-motion become matter. And yet, we are told that this marvel is only a glimpse of what is to come. "The eye has not seen, nor the ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those that love Him."

Everywhere in physics is the evidence of Love. However, our Pride resists confronting a greater Truth than our own, a greater LOVE than human love.

When we mortals play "God" by living in and through our imaginations, we construct realities of our own, and science of our own. It is HIS SCIENCE we must seek, both of the Cosmos, and of the heart. NOTHING else works!

God's imaginings are not vain like ours-His Will is Real. The universe is made not without scientific basis(since HE created SCIENCE) The process of creation has within it an underlying scientific order and sustaining principles all the way back to the pre-science beginning...

when and how did you realize that you were attracted to white men?

for me it was from a first love from high school ten years ago, funny though also that my mom told me the nurse who helped deliver me at my birth was a black lady and i got a first kiss in the first grade from a little black girl, but i never realized my attraction until high school. I have dated a few other races but since my first love,(that i wasn't involved with sexually by the way) I can't let go of my attraction
