Me!!!

[JoeC]

That's very good cause here i am using your space again to ask Joe to tell us more about himself


Due to popular demand, I am here to talk about me. :thumbup:

It all started when my father first saw the twinkle in my mother's eye... and then there was the spanking incident (the doc got my ends mixed up... which really explains a lot).

Anyhow, I grew up an independent young lad in a small church with very few young people - my sister and I were the only ones after the split that happened somewhere around my age of 9). I attended a private christian school where I bucked against the social classes my fellow students set up.

By 7th grade I was ready to start homeschooling - and I did! At first my mom taught me, but eventually I just taught myself. I just sent in my last exam for homeschool to my correspondence academy and am attending our local community college (http://wccnet.edu/).

I am currently taking Intermediate Algebra (MTH 169), Critical Thinking (PHL 123), and Conceptual Physics (PHY 105).

I started this semester thinking of going into business - almost certain. And now I'm changing my major to engineering with a certificate in technical writing and an advanced certificate in supervisory management. Just pray for me there, I really want to be led of the Lord.

OK, that's about it. There is, of course, a lot of stuff about me in between these facts - but that's an overview. I'm opening the board for discussion, questions, sage advice, etc.

[Christian-Samurai]

HAHAHAHAAH yeah see it IS all blessed fault. Now I should talk about me here :D nah I wouldnt do that to Joe unlike some ppl, and also all I can say ITS ABOUT TIME JOE, but you left out all the good stuff yeesh dont make me pull it out of you like i did to blessed :D

[JoeC]

What did I leave out? I thought I did a good job!

[Christian-Samurai]

I'll let the girls help you out I guess :D oh and thanks for the :chef he looks pretty good if i do say so myself

[blessed]

ok Joe thanks alot for the facts, now we want the juicy stuff...more like spill your guts not literaly though :D

Do u have a girlfriend??n Is he hiding something samauri?

[Christian-Samurai]

you tell him sis, he just might be :D

[blessed]

*blessed turns joe upside down and shakes him lots of juicy info is falling out*

[JoeC]

nope, no girlfriend. never have had one. guess i'm pretty dull :(

[blessed]

shake shake shake ...more info bro

[Christian-Samurai]

BAH I SAY, not having one doesnt make you dull, hmmm you are right sis he is hiding something, very curious

[JoeC]

No really, there aren't too many things about me that are interesting to others.

Oh, I can't sing. I even quit my choir for the betterment of the whole.

When asked in 5th garde what I wanted to be like when I grew up I responded "as stubborn as a mule!" My response, along with the (pathetic) drawing got posted in the school hallway.

Ummm... I wore spiderman undies when I was like 5 - but C'Mon :hey!: , who didn't do that?

[Christian-Samurai]

I was always partial to Batman myself :D

[blessed]

Guyss :aaaah: :aaaah: create your own thread and discuss undies ok , not in here puhlllleeeeeaaseeeeeee.

i still have the feeling there is more to know about Joe.. hm.. did that rhyme..
Don't make me have to call for backup on this one Joe

[Christian-Samurai]

Guyss :aaaah: :aaaah: create your own thread and discuss undies ok , not in here puhlllleeeeeaaseeeeeee.

This is joes thread he can talk about what he wants too lol, and also Joe did feel spidermans powers when you wore them?? :D

So Joe tell us, who what when and how did you get involved with YQnews

[blessed]

This is joes thread he can talk about what he wants too lol, and also Joe did feel spidermans powers when you wore them?? :D

whattttt!!!!!!

[blessed]

i don't even think i want to know forget it,spiderman powers phuleeeessseee

[Christian-Samurai]

heh me thinks the lady doth protest to much :D

[blessed]

:D nice to know u are thinking about me.....but a girl's ideal conversation is not about guys undies ok spiderman/5 year old or not

[Christian-Samurai]

i beg to differe sis, if it was ones own child i bet stories about his undies would come up quite often :D

[blessed]

i have a brilliant idea we should get your mom in here,, im sure we'll get some great stories

[Christian-Samurai]

Yeah we should but shes not exactly YOUTH lol but maybe she can post some nice ones under my nick :D

[blessed]

hmm....i need to think about that one cause im sure there is some underlying mischief u have already thought of in that

[Christian-Samurai]

whaattt me??? no way i am straight at an arrow :D

[blessed]

yeah right

[Christian-Samurai]

hmm good idea, I'll have to ask her about it

[blessed]

how would we be sure that's its her and not you posting

[Christian-Samurai]

faith, sis lol i dont think she will really want to but if you really want me to ask her its ok, cause you see I am not worried about all my little pottie stories :D

[blessed]

of course not but u will have to be worried about the other questions we will ask:D

[collegegirl]

I agree with blessed. You guys have a strange sense of conversation. Yeesh. Blessed, keep shaking Joe. I think that there is more info to what he is giving. So he has never had a g/f "pursay", but what about a serious crush? Hmmm.....??

[blessed]

excellent observation detective shall we now do some futher questioning

[collegegirl]

What shall we start with? :D

[Christian-Samurai]

I still want to know, who what when and how did you get involved with YQnews

[JoeC]

Sister Sharon VanWyke, who was the one to start YQN back in the 80's, kept on suggesting it to our youth group when we held our monthly meetings at the VanWyke house.

I finally decided to toy with the idea. Talked to brothers in the printing industry. Looked at software. Called ministers. Talked to my pastor, Bro. Paul, and finally came out with the first issue. For more info, read Where We Came From, What We're Doing, And Where We're Going in the May 2003 issue of YQN.

[blessed]

hmm.. ok now could we get back to the question collegegirl asked

[JoeC]

I already answered that one. :)

[Christian-Samurai]

You tell them Joe :D

[blessed]

i don't think so she asked if u ever had a serious crush i don't see where u answered that, it must have slipped me somewhere

[JoeC]

No serious crushes. Not that I've never liked a girl, but I only let myself go so far with my emotions. Certain qualifications must be met before I allow my heart to get involved.

[collegegirl]

Thank you. The next question will be brought to you by blessed. :D

[FreeAtLast]

Collegegirl, you really want to know it, dont ya?! ;)
hmmmm, didnt I read somewhere on here that you "complained" that noone was your age? What about Joe the boss? hehehe
Blessed where art thou? Didnt you do the match-making? :lol:
ok, ok ppl I am only JOKING!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

[Christian-Samurai]

Certain qualifications must be met before I allow my heart to get involved.

OK joe Begin the listing, the girls really want to know what they are and we can skip the givens lol

[collegegirl]

Okay, I had a few applicants interested, so I was just wondering. :D

[JoeC]

OK. The listing of qualifications. The things that MUST be in place on either side of the equation.

ME

Before I get serious about a relationship, I must have a good job (40K+ starting salary) or be very close to being able to get a good job. If we begin courting, figuring on a one year courting scale, I should be able to support her by the end of that year. So, at the very earliest, my senior year in college. Unless the love hammer falls...

Before marriage, I must be able to afford a house. Not an appartment. Not a trailer. A HOUSE. With more than just a master bedroom and one bath. Something big enough that we can grow into.

Before marrige, I must feel that I am spiritually & emotionally ready for the responsibilities of a household. There's so much more than just having the Holy Ghost.


HER:

She must be domesticated. I'm not going to prepare myself 5+ years to be able to support a girl that hasn't even bothered to learn how to do laundry, sew, or cook a full meal (and we're not talkin' mac & cheese here folks. She should be able to have the ability to cook several different main courses from scratch)

She must be filled with the Holy Ghost. Not five years ago, but recently. You know what I mean. She needs to show signs of growth in the Lord.

She must be willing to homeschool her children. Some college would be helpful here.

She must show that she is under a head. If she doesn't submit to her father or her pastor, she isn't gonna submit to her husband.



Okay, there' some basic things. Preferences are something else. For example, I hope that she's willing to have five kids. If not, that's okay. For more prefs - you can check out my dream girl trait list (http://www.yqnews.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3316&postcount=13).


Okay, I had a few applicants interested, so I was just wondering. :D

I'm sorry, could you clarify that one? A few applicants interested in you or in me? I'm confused :think:

[blessed]

Im here, now catching up.......Five kids Joe!!! do you have any idea what labour is like....
Also i need some further clarification on this ""She must show that she is under a head. If she doesn't submit to her father or her pastor, she isn't gonna submit to her husband.""

Exactly what are your thoughts on this statement,more like an explanation.
You have good ambitions...its great that you will like to have a house at first. one more question...homeschool we don't have that here so please explain like what age it starts and ends, the full da da da about it.

My questioning will continue after the response collegegirl.

[JoeC]

Headship:

For girls that live at home, this is showing a spirit that is in agreement with her father.

For single girls that live on their own (which, btw, if the father is a believer, I don't think this should be happening), this means showing a spirit that is in agreement with the pastor of her church. I've seen to many single sisters come into our church with an independent spirit that just doesn't seem to submit readily to ALL the word that is being preached.


Homeschooling:

This is where the parents school the children at home, beginning around the age of 5 or so. The parents are the ones who take the initiaive to plan the curriculum and to teach the children. This is almost neccessary with the present western school system.

When the child reaches high school age, it is recommended to switch to an accredited christian homeschool correspondence course. This way, colleges will respect the kid's diploma.

[collegegirl]

I'm sorry, could you clarify that one? A few applicants interested in you or in me? I'm confused :think:


A few interested in you.

[blessed]

i wonder who that could be :D, now now Joe don't get to light headed about that

[collegegirl]

I was just kidding.

[JoeC]

bummer :ng_thumbd

[blessed]

how can u give the bro some hopes and just dash it like that

[Christian-Samurai]

yeah poor guy, get him all giddy and them POOF, Poor Joe

[collegegirl]

To tell you the truth, legally, I never said what I was kidding about. :D We could get techincal here. LOL :p Actually....I do know a person that was very interested.....:D

[JoeC]

yeah poor guy, get him all giddy and them POOF, Poor Joe

I'm not deflated in the least. There's probably ALL KINDS of girls out there that have an interest - it's just that none of us know about them.

Yeah, probably gaggles of them! Gaggles of girls... that calls for a giggle. :rofl:

[Christian-Samurai]

OOOOOO boy poor guy look at what this has done to him lol

[collegegirl]

Ooopps! His mind cracked. :D

[blessed]

uh oh....do u think we can stick it together...

[Christian-Samurai]

Duct tapem handy mans secret weapon should fix him right up

[blessed]

*blessed proceeds to stick Joes brains together with the help of samauri & Collegegirl*

[Christian-Samurai]

and that piece i think goes here, hmmm no wait over here yeah I like that better :)

[blessed]

are u sure that goes there...looks a bit strange to me:D

[Christian-Samurai]

hey I am the artist here I say we build it back better looking that before :D

[JoeC]

How's that possible?

[Christian-Samurai]

I am a gifted artist trust me :D

[Unregistered]

I am a gifted artist trust me :D
uh oh i don't think i want to see the results

[blessed]

uh oh i posted a relply to this thread before logging in sorry

[blessed]

Seems to be lost in cyber space:D

[Christian-Samurai]

Yes you are :D

[collegegirl]

Samurai, I really think that that piece would look better over here. :think:

[Christian-Samurai]

uh huh ummm NO

[HotShot53]

No, no, the pice really belongs on the other side over here... and you should trust me, my brain works better than most, and that's where it is in mine, I think....

[blessed]

No, no, the pice really belongs on the other side over here... and you should trust me, my brain works better than most, and that's where it is in mine, I think....
He is not even sure where his is and he wants us to follow his advice... fellow surgeons pls do not listen to that crazy man

[Christian-Samurai]

Just because one is "smart" doesnt mean he is artisticly creative :P and thats what I am so we are sticking with my idea :D

[blessed]

*rolls eyes * oh boy here we go

[Christian-Samurai]

yeah sure, like you know lol

[blessed]

of course i do, it goes right there where that big empty space is, but first we have to shave off all the hair on his head to make sure it fits properly :D

[HotShot53]

He seemed to be put together at WYR.... not sure if it was all correct, but it was together :)

[blessed]

lol...not sure if it was correct....why did he look strange

[HotShot53]

Hmm... I don't think I should answer that.... ;)

[blessed]

now you have piqued my interest...what did he look like ..did we put something in the wrong place when we were putting him together :rofl:

[collegegirl]

Well, I think you all forgot to put the Human part back before he left. He was very still and formal when I met him. His movements were very robotic. Now that he is back, I think that you should put that particular piece that Hotshot53 was talking about way over here.

[Christian-Samurai]

hmmm we'll have to see when the photos are posted

[collegegirl]

I did take some.....:think:

[blessed]

Well, I think you all forgot to put the Human part back before he left. He was very still and formal when I met him. His movements were very robotic. Now that he is back, I think that you should put that particular piece that Hotshot53 was talking about way over here.
maybe he was just shy:D

[HotShot53]

Lol, I agree with collegegirl though... Joe can be a bit stiff and robotic looking at times ;) Not saying there is anything wrong with that...

[JoeC]

Lol, I agree with collegegirl though... Joe can be a bit stiff and robotic looking at times ;) Not saying there is anything wrong with that...

You guys are probably referring to my good posture. It's something not many have, so I can see how one might interpret as "stiff and robotic."

[Christian-Samurai]

umm no I dont think thats what they are talking about lol

[simple]

You guys are probably referring to my good posture.

...the fact that you walk like your sitting in a straight back chair?

not that were saying there is anything wrong...no were not saying *anything* like that. no way. nope.

btw, how is your self-concious doing right now? :aaaah: :rofl:


:moron: <--- simplyam0r0n

[Christian-Samurai]

I guess I will need to meet robot joe for my self so i can see this action you all speak of

[blessed]

are u all saying that he has a good posture thus being referred to as robotic or is it his movements

[collegegirl]

It is totally his movements. I have good posture most of the time, but I make it look natural. Joe looks robotic. It is his movements that are robotic, not his posture.

[collegegirl]

...the fact that you walk like your sitting in a straight back chair?

Wow! Talk about describing it perfectly. :rofl:

[JoeC]

Thank you all for your charitable comments. I think I've gotten the point. Thank you.

Well, I think you all forgot to put the Human part back before he left. He was very still and formal when I met him. His movements were very robotic. Now that he is back, I think that you should put that particular piece that Hotshot53 was talking about way over here.

[blessed]

im sure they don't mean that Joe...

[collegegirl]

Well, okay, so I did catch him in some human-like movements....:D I have pictures, though they are blurry.

[HotShot53]

Sorry if the comments sounded critical or something Joe.... but you should know by now that if the people on these boards can tease you about something, they will ;)

[Christian-Samurai]

i think he knows that all to well, who do you think gave me the title chief runs his mouth lol

[HotShot53]

Lol, you have a point there Samurai...

[collegegirl]

And it was quite appropriate too....:D

[blessed]

see we all love you Joe no harm intended are they forgiven

[JoeC]

suuuurrre

(this xtra text added to make my post long enough)

[HotShot53]

Lol, Joe has to try to get around his own rules...

[blessed]

hmm.... is that a rule you can change Joe cause sometimes a question requires a simple yes.

[simple]

Brother Josiah -- I love you and I mean this in a very caring way.
In fact let me give you a brotherly hug.

1. Arms extended straight (don't bend during hug)
2. Walk towards target
3. Head does not bend sooo..bend torso
4. Step back.

COMPLETE !

:bouncie: ya!

[blessed]

you are bad simple just plain bad

[sunnysarah]

Yes - I have to agree with the rest of you on the stiff, robotic movement of our Bro. Joe. But y'all will give him a complex if you aren't careful. I just don't want to see him next year flopped all over his chair and slouching. There is a point in between......................I think

[blessed]

will you ppl behave :D

[JoeC]

Yes - I have to agree with the rest of you on the stiff, robotic movement of our Bro. Joe. But y'all will give him a complex if you aren't careful. I just don't want to see him next year flopped all over his chair and slouching. There is a point in between......................I think

Wait a second... who are you?!

[blessed]

lol obviously someone who knows you and what u look like

[JoeC]

obviously a stealthy spy

[blessed]

:aaaah: spy on board, spy on board :aaaah:
we must investigate this further :ninja:

[collegegirl]

Haha!!! Not quite so much a spy....:D *wink*

[blessed]

Am i missing something here

[collegegirl]

Huh? What? No.

[HotShot53]

Lol, I have a pretty good guess who Sarah is.... but I won't say ;)

[collegegirl]

Who? You mean sunnysarah? :think: Send me a message and tell me who she is. I want to know....Cause I think I know her too.

[Babyruth]

I have a good idea too, maybe, possibly, she's...No I won't say. But, I think I know. Kinda fun!:)

[Christian-Samurai]

Heres an idea let HER tell about herself then everyone can know

[Babyruth]

I think it's more fun when it's a secret.

[Christian-Samurai]

well then she can play it out as long as she wants or she can tell us all no need to tell just those 2 lol

[Babyruth]

I agree, but she should wait for the right moment, and scare Joe, or at least surprise him.

[Christian-Samurai]

sounds like a good plan lets hope she does it

[Babyruth]

It could be like James Bond, or not. I think it's the lack of sleep and the worry of a math test when I go to school later today that it worrying me. Please pray for my test!

[NeedGod]

i think i will pass here, i have no idea what everyone is saying. me again, just passing through and looking at everything.

[Christian-Samurai]

most of us hardly ever do

[blessed]

i guess that is what makes it soooooooo much fun :D

[collegegirl]

The less we know, the better it is. :D

[Babyruth]

Sometimes true, sometimes not true. Very dependant on what the topic is.

[NeedGod]

oh, so i guess if i passed through and said very little or nothing it would mean i fit right in. mhh, this is easy

[collegegirl]

Totally. Just look at all of Samurai's posts....LOL :D

[blessed]

hmmmm im looking but i can't see anything

[Babyruth]

Kinda ironic, eh?

[collegegirl]

I love it, blessed. :thumbup:

[NeedGod]

oh, i have been looking for samurais posts, are they in this website?

[collegegirl]

They haven't been able to find anything.

[blessed]

its because his posts lack substance:D

[JoeC]

hey, where's the link to his and Hui's story?

[HotShot53]

I think the link died.... he was offering to send it to people who asked him for it in one thread or another..... but don't ask me which one

[blessed]

he probably took it off and is working on an all new story for us

[HotShot53]

he can't be working on the story too much yet, since he hasn't gone over there yet... but he better have a nice long one for us once he gets back ;)

[Christian-Samurai]

how about a 2 pager is that alright?? Actually I took it down cause the post was kinda getting old at the time and no one was reading it any more :)

[HotShot53]

I can write 2 pages about one day.... I'm sure you can do better than that ;)

[blessed]

we are actually looking for 20 pages minimum :D

[Jeni]

yah i was trying that link out earlier today. without luck.

tho...i think i saw SOME pictures on MSN...

[NeedGod]

oh, why dont you give them the link you gave me samurai. it worked. and i liked thats story. can i print it out and give my friends to read? will you mind?

[Babyruth]

we are actually looking for 20 pages minimum :D
Does this have anything to do with me? Just to let you all know, I have no problem writing lots, as you can tell by most of my posts.

[NeedGod]

yup ruth, pretty evident. look, i made addict

[blessed]

actually i think we were talking about samauri's report that he has to submit when he returns from china

[HotShot53]

Yeah, it was samurai's report we were talking about... and 20 pages sounds about right

[Babyruth]

Hm, you guys didn't get it, it's ok, I dont' know why I would expect you to remember. In a previous post I mentioned that I wrote a 20 page essay on WWI. Anyways, congrats namwacha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JoeC]

how about a 2 pager is that alright?? Actually I took it down cause the post was kinda getting old at the time and no one was reading it any more :)

weeellll, I'd say we have some ppl here that WANT TO READ IT! so hurry!


*This is your Overlord speaking*

lol

[JMC_785]

Hey Joe, weren't u free radical No 1? Or do i have the wrong joe?
:think:

[JoeC]

Nope. Afraid you've got the wrong guy. You are thinking of Joe Seay. Pronounced Joe C. My 'C' stands for Cornett. The name here is Josiah Cornett.

[blessed]

are u sure about that Joe ?

I always thought you were a mysterious guy is that your secret identity :aaaah:

[HotShot53]

Lol, sorry blessed, the 2 Joe's are different....

[blessed]

awwww well it could have been
