Single Spiritual Brothers and Sisters Over 50!!!

[Shirley Lowery]

Hello all my spiritual brothers and sisters! I would like to start this topic about "Single Spiritual Brothers and Sisters Over 50".  I myself turn 60 this coming year! The reason I'm writing about this topic is because sometimes as we try to keep ourselves spiritually strong serving Jehovah, being human, we experience, depression, and often feel lonely!  I know of several brothers and sisters including me,  who are searching for that special someone to be our spiritual mate and serve Jehovah together as one flesh! Most of us feel that loneliness even though we go to our secular jobs, and do our best to faithfully serve Jehovah! I myself hope to marry only in the lord someday!! I pray to Jehovah everyday to help me cope with this loneliness I often experience sometimes! The DVDS the faithful and discreet slave have recommended us to view searching for our spiritual mate, tell us to be patient and Jehovah knows our hearts, and he knows we need a helper, or mate to share our lives with! I  myself, try to be patient, but it's really hard trying to support myself, and waiting for my spiritual brother to find me!!  It's only human nature to experience that true love, true companionship with that special someone!!  Everyone tells me, wait on Jehovah, pray to Jehovah, which I do everyday, but, I also pray for my other spiritual brothers and sisters being held in prison, and to cope with whatever they're going  through during  these critical last days were living in!!  I hope this topic I'm writing about, seems interesting to you, I would love to hear your comments,  from any single  brother or sister or just personally get acquainted with you, as my spiritual brother or sister! Sometimes we need someone to vent our feelings to!     May Jehovah bless everyone of you, and I pray someday that Jehovah helps me, and you, find that special someone to share our lives with!!!  Agape love, Sister Shirley Lowery, Dallas, Texas!!!

I married a wonderful Sister just three years ago when I was 67, and she was 55.  First two wives ran off, one to her first love, the other for no stated reason.

You have to have patience!

In the MEANTIME ... get a Puppy!

... and count your blessings!

It's ALL A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE!

Did she think, perhaps, that your memes contained a hint of insensitivity, or something even worse?

Most engineers I know have been married three times ...

Most engineers I know have been married an average of 0.5 times. For reasons only an engineer would know, I cannot say that the average was 0.50 or 0.500, indicating the limited scope of my data.

It has taken me from June to December to discern the meaning of your statistics ... I coulda worked it out on my old holstered log-log slide rule, but it had so many nicks and gouges in it from sword fighting that it was unusable for calculations.

Perhaps I was being obtuse when I was trying to be ...ah... cute, so I will explain from a different angle.

If I know 4 engineers and 2 were married and 2 have never been married, then the engineers I know have been married an average of 0.5 times. Although this also works out to 0.500 times, a scientist would say that this level of zeros implies that I have enough data to declare that level of accuracy, which should mean that I know, let's say, 4002 engineers and 2001 were married once, and 2001 have never been married. Only by using that scope of data would I have a right to say 0.500, instead of just 0.5.

A good explanation is also found here: http://www.tc3.edu/instruct/sbrown/stat/rounding.htm

• The significant digits in a number start at the first non-zero digit and end at the last digit. Examples: 1417 has four significant digits, and so do 1.417 and 0.00001417. What about 14.1700? It has six significant digits, not four, because only zeroes at the start of a number are non-significant. Finally, 14.07 has four significant digits.
• There can be some ambiguity with trailing zeroes in a large whole number. For instance, we quote the average distance from earth to sun as 93 million miles. In that form, the number has two significant digits. (Remember what significant digits mean: they mark the non-“slop” part of the measurement. All we’re saying is that the average distance is 92½ to 93½ million. But suppose we write the number as 93,000,000? Does it now have eight significant digits? Are we saying the average distance is between 92,999,999.5 and 93,000,000.5 miles? Surely not! . . .
• . .

  4800 has two to four significant digits. The 4 and 8 are definitely significant, but just by looking at the number we can’t tell whether it’s accurate to the nearest whole number (4800, four significant digits), to the nearest ten (480x, three significant digits), or to the nearest hundred (48xx, two significant digits).

  4800.0 has five significant digits. In the previous example (plain 4800), the two zeroes might indicate precision of measurement or be there simply as place holders. But with 4800.0 the last zero is obviously not needed as a place holder and therefore it must be significant.

Obviously the two women needed to have their heads examined.

An old-timer told me of when he was fiddling with his slide rule at McDonalds. A young employee asked him what it was and how it worked. He showed him. The kid's eyes grew big: "Wow! You should patent that! You'd make a fortune!"

But we are running away with the thread of @Shirley Ann Lowery and I feel guilty about that. Especially as she is a newcomer and hers is a concern that many have had.

Like we need to worry about that. I am sure she ran off after JTR's meme, never to return. The poor woman.

As a rule, I am neither obtuse or acute, but that doesn't mean I am always right. By any measure, however, it's always good to try angles of all kinds. I can even try scalene new heights!

Fortunately for her the old boy is married at the moment, hopefully for good.
