Using the "C-Word" With My Wife

by breakfast of champions in

months ago, i commented on another thread about a strategy i was using to introduce my wife to the way cults work--without using the word "cult" and scaring her away.

here's my first comment on that thread:.

i pulled hassan's bite model off the internet and imported it into my word processor.

You (and she) are lucky peeople.

As per the July 2011 WT, you should try and "infect" your relatives before you become mentally diseased.

A must post for me

Several of my fellow Canuck members, whose posts I revere, have expressed political views about this event.

To me, the displays of the Cdn Parliament leaders to each other today in the House, was exemplary.

I understand Harper's ideology, and have a few disagreements thereby.

However, when push comes to shove, when critical decisions need to be made, waffling in fear of public opinion is the worst element of a public figure.

(A fan of Ralph Klein political openness.)

Dudu:

33 is not old. Believe me.

After 3 wonderful children, my wife suffered through 2 miscarriages.

She desperately needed to have more children because of the miscarriages.

So, I consented to 2 more.

She was 45 at the birth of our 5th.

There is an absolute risk of Downs and other genetic anomalies with older ages.

The challenge that I raise with becoming pregnant in your 40's is more the lack of energy that is required in parenting.

Babies are exhausting (and expensive), especially when you have 2 or 3 in diapers at the same time.

Are they worth it?

Absolutely. Nothing turns you into a better human being than being a parent.

Research the CRITICAL importance of folic acid for all ages, but especially for older (? - not in 20's) gals, as well as taking PreTerna.

If, at the time you decide to conceive, and you are using chemical contraceptives (the pill), discontinue it's use for at least a month (make buddy wear a trenchcoat in the meantime) before that very memorable night.

During pregnancy, NO CAFFEINE OR ALCOHOL OR NICOTINE.

FINISH YOUR MASTER'S FIRST.

PS: And, listen to classical music during your pregnancy. Trust me. (Music is the heart and soul of humanity.) Mozart and Tchaikovsky are amazing IMO. (I love rock BTW, but classical is to rock, what arithmetic is to algebra - Pink Floyd excepted.)

morning-after drug - any members with thoughts?

by berrygerry in

internally, being a father of many children, and being present for ultrasounds and other testing, etc., i appreciate the value of life.. as i understand it, the after-morning pill essentially terminates a 1 or 2 day old conception.. are there any thoughts about this?.

Warwick Building Project Fluff Stories

by bruh2012 in

talking about an article that makes you want to throw-up in your mouth- wt-study jan 15, 2015 the offered themselves willingly.. amazing the psych job of selling your business, moving your entire family, quiting your job to be a "temporary" worker at the new world headquarters!.

throw your livelyhood away only to get the "feeling" that jehovahs is blessing you!

i wish there was away to track the psych job during patterson and other major projects of what happened to all the "friends" that sold and got rid of their livelyhood then and where are they now.. did you ever sacrifce it all for a building project only to be left with nothing after your "spiritual high"?.

berrygerry

LITS.

So sorry for your wasted life.

Hopefully, you are able to use it as a building block for "the real life"

Bible - War in heaven - Satan cast to earth - Why?

by berrygerry in

reading the oct 1 1953 wt about gog of magog because of the posts about the changes of identity.. basic question:.

why would satan (whether gog or not) be cast to the earth?.

why not cast him to quadrant 4 of the galaxy?.

Reading the Oct 1 1953 WT about Gog of Magog because of the posts about the changes of identity.

Basic question:

WHY would Satan (whether Gog or not) be cast to the earth?
Why not cast him to Quadrant 4 of the galaxy?

Why a war in heaven?

Cannot God just teleport Satan and the demons wherever He wants?
Legit question.

New explanation of Gog of Magog: Two Gogs?

by leaving_quietly in

i just finished watching the recording of the talk at the annual meeting that re-explains gog of magog.

i caught something not previously talked about, that i can recall.. gog of magog is thought to be a coalition of nations that attach god's people during the great tribulation.

this is from ezekiel 38 & 39.. gog and magog in revelation 20 represents those with the same attitude as gog of magog.. thus, the new teaching (maybe not new, but i'll have to research this) is that gog in ezekiel is not the same as gog in revelation 20. two different gogs, happening about a thousand years apart.. .
