This will be the first year I haven't gone. Just haven't broke the news to the family yet. Any advice on how to tell them. I am working on my diplomacy. I don't want to go off half cocked. Thanks for any helpful words.

How Do You View Pets - new article

by puppylove in

has anyone read this?

i had it shoved in my face in the subway at 42nd street this morning by the jw drone who stands there.

as usual, i controlled my urge to kick her, but the title of the article caught my eye, pet lover that i am.. i would assume it lays a load of guilt on anyone who holds their pet in high esteem..

I read part of the article. There is a part where it says animals were made to live for a short time. How they wont be resurected. I looked up the scriptures they quoted, and they did not say that. My mother was a bit upset. She maintains, if every desire will be fulfilled and death will be no more, she will have her German Sheppard back. This is one of the two things my mom disagrees with. She was so upset. If I get a chance to read anymore, I will let you know.

.

i don't know if it's just me but at times i get confused as to who's male or female here.

for the record, i'm a man.

Momofmany

Since I am a Mom of Many, that would make me a woman. A tired woman, but a woman none the less.

by boa in

its my first post and i don't really know where to start, there been so much on my mind.

i've been reading threads on this site like crazy and obtained a copy of coc from the library yesterday.

i stayed up until 4am reading it, and i'm impressed with the way it was written - its just like reading a w only the subject matter is a little different hehe.. i'll break myself in gently with this site over time but basically a few things about me are: born in a jw family, baptized as a young teen, 1 yr aux pio, several yrs as reg pio, 1 year as 'special' full time pio at bethel.

What is an appropriate age to let your daughter date?

by franklin J in

as a father; will i ever think it is an appropriate age for my daughter to date?

i have a very pretty 12 year old girl.

besides excelling at classical ballet, she is a high honor roll student academically and she is a very good , sweet, child.

Momofmany

I think that you and your best friends should sit in the living room with you cleaning up a shot gun,

I have one daughter. When she starts dating, I will be cleaning the gun, with the 5 boys standing behind me. Four are older than her, but Jon is only 3 yrs behind her. So when she is 16, and he is 13, I don't think he will be too small.<eg> I feel kinda sorry for any boy who comes calling on my little girl.

In 1992 I was in a TV commercial. I was going back to school for automotive repair. The school used me because I was I chose a field that was not common for women. At the local watering hole, I got free drinks from the owner because I was on TV.
