i figure maybe its about time i learned me how to stay quiet and listen like woman should.
seriously i am a fanatic-verge-of-obnoxious commenter. i should just study the watchtower with some folks and say whatever i want to say then. sometimes, if i dont get a comment out i was looking forward to, i actually call a friend to tell somebody and see if it makes sense.
"stay quiet like a woman should?"
is this some kind of joke? i'm an advocate for women in the kitchen and all, but "stay quiet like women should?" nah. although compulsive commenters sometimes make it harder for those who have a hard time commenting. make's 'em feel bad about not making multiple points in one comment or not tying it up just right or even for just commenting once. but three times at a WT isn't insane. do it up!
The point has been made that in any study the first comment should be a simple basic answer and that the following ones are supposed to elaborate on that. It's also recommended to cover one point in your comments so as too leave things open for others. On a personal level people that make the first comment and comment on everything in the paragraph bug me because no point is really being made or sticking out you might as well just reread the paragraph when that is done.
Word.
yeah twas a joke. do i need to start following every joke up with "jk" until you all learn my dry humor?
i usually try to limit my commenting to once a page though. i generally average 5-6 comments a lesson. i most def follow the commenting outlines from the tms school textbook. i try to keep my comments short and to the point whether they are direct answers, scriptures or elabos bc i find my mind wandering when ppl get long winded.
I need help in this area. Especially in sign when you have to stand up in front of everyone or be put on camera...
Yeah it can be very disconcerting seeing yourself while trying to answer. My sister hates it.
When you're commenting on camera you can't look or it will disturb your whole essence! Out of the corner of my eye I wait to see me pop up on the screen but I never look directly.
Yeah my sister made that mistake last week and it totally threw her off. Joel told her from now on to just look at him and he will let her know when it's on her so it doesn't happen again.
when i gave a comment at an asl cong once i ran up to the stage gave my teeny comment and ran down. everyone laughed at me. that was before the advent of cameras. i shudder to think of how many laughs id get checking myself out in the monitor.
this one deaf brother raised his hand to comment and when he was called on he took his comb out of his back pocket and was totally fixin' his hair and didn't realize he was on..it was hilarious.
oh, i would do that or be applying some lip gloss.
