What are your most successful methods for dealing with their visit? Do you prefer to "blow 'em off"? Or do you attempt to dissuade them from their inanity?

i knew i had a bright mind, i had been told that my whole life.

she hated going out in service but since i hated it myself we didn't go do the door to door work much.

i look back now and i can't believe how controlling and un-loving that religion had made me.

Dave, you are a true mensch....Is there a 12-step program that comes with these publications for those who become addicted to your writings?

so the lord god said to the serpent:"because you have done this,you are cursed more than all cattle,and more than every beast of the field;on your belly you shall go,and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

the cattle and all the rest of creation were cursed as a result of adam and eve's eating,but the serpent was uniquely cursed by being made to slither on its belly.it probably had legs before this curse.now snakes represent all that is odious,disgusting, and low.they are branded with infamy and avoided with fear.

help me understand this.god curses a physical serpent !!

naaaahhh....BB, I betcha it was more 'n likely Adam's ol' "one-eyed-snake" that he "ventriloquized" to play "head games" with Eve....dat wascaly wabbit....which is why Eve is said to have been "deceived"....but I doubt very seriously that anything they did actually cursed the animals....if ANY of it's to be taken seriously...

yes this is one of the most tasty spices!

it puts a bountyful flavour to your rice and makes it most enjoyable!

description---its stem is slender and branched, rarely exceeding 1 foot in height and somewhat angular.

Good in Dolmas (veal & rice wrapped in grape leaves) and beans and chile con carne, too.

i'm in a bit of a state at the moment, my wife has just left me about 30 mins ago and took the kids...i don't know where.... ok, some of you long-timers may remember the problems i had with my son ben, who decided that the jw religion wasn't for him about a year ago.

i supported him as best i could through that and he's developed into a fine young man with a more healthy spiritual attitude, investigationg a number of christian churches in the area and finally settled on church of england, which he really likes now.. although no longer a christian myself i have no objection to them pursuing whatever religious path they choose (obviously within reason).

that has been the case with all of my children: ben, 15, charlotte, 14 and chloe, 12. i have never attempted to stop my wife taking them to the meetings although i have voiced to them privately my concerns about the religion.

(((((((DEAN))))))) Hugs 'n kudos to ya....you're getting some excellent advice here on this thread...do all of it that's necessary and......see an attorney FIRST thing Monday morning and file for custody.....the rest will take care of itself in a manner which will assure your success in protecting your children, I'm sure....be prepared that it will take time....that's the worst of it...the time and the investigations that will ensue...there's NO way that a judge will take her side considering her attitude....

Wish you the best,

I would reclaim my lost youth without losing my hard-gained wisdom. (to be 17 again with all the stuff I have lived and know now!)

SHEESH, Ravyn! If I had a nickel for every time I've wished that very thing!!! LOL! We'd "rock the world" wouldn't we?

I think I'd like to build up a support network for ALL homeless abused kids of all ages, and make sure they have room to find happiness and peace so they can grow up to be sane kind loving hardworking honest human beings, and die at a ripe and satisfied old age.
But I'll probably finish my little tiny book of poetry instead.

awwww, GF....that's so very kind-hearted and thoughtful of you, sweet pea...hope you find plenty of peeps willing to help you succeed in that noble cause. :) And...unless you win the lottery or an extremely rich relative dies and leaves you their everything, your poetry book is prolly a more realistic goal....Let us know when it's published so we can purchase a copy...K?

The fantasy would be to cure very ill people. But closer to reality it might be to add a couple of inches to my hips. Having a butt would be nice.

LOL@Stacy! Nice fantasy, Stacy....I enjoy yer posts so much that you can have a transplant from my wazoo, cher! I'm a "wannabe" butt donor looking for peeps that need some "cheeks"...(G)

I would finish my sentence in a thread title Just kiddin ya. Prisca told me that trick works about a year ago......and it does!
What would I accomplish? I would want to know the truth of why and how man is here......something nobody can really prove at this time.

LOL@Gumby! Sure ya would...and yes, it *does* work....after bein' a dub for so many years, I knows how to troll a line with a carrot on it, cher!

And...that's a VERY significant and noble goal, Gumby...good one! Lemme know what you discover...K?

Ride endlessly in my car forever discovering and enjoying new territories. I love to move around and see, look, walk, discover, and enjoy new places and people. I woul love to go to vancouver, thendown to LA, and then through Texas and then head for florida, then back up north back home. I will surely take a ride down to florida this winter for the first time, and I'm looking forward to that. :)
