Am I being unreasonable in this ?

by smiddy3 in

hi friend`s ,i have my son and dil living with us ,which has been ok,overall ,quite a few years now ,however ,a few months ago they decided they wanted a dog ok ?

we had one a toy poodle for about 16-17 years and i just loved her as did my wife.. a few months ago my son wanted a dog and got a french bulldog as a pup ,which was ok by us .. however to cut a long story short, yesterday i was out in the back yard and the dog lunged at me and started attacking me in such a way as i can only describe as being frenetic in his attack ,in trying to ward off his attack and getting away from him i fell over and i believe if my son hadn`t finlly restrained him he would have mauled me .

i am 83 years old and my wife has just turned 80. and i dont want that to happen to her .. i don`t know the dog is what 4-5-6 months old i`m not sure , and been living with us all this time ,however i`m going to tell them to get that dog out of my house by the week and and a half or i will one way or another .. i am not going to tolerate that in my household and if he don`t like it he can go also .. i`m not being unreasonable am i ?

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses attend so many meeting?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

ronald curzan ( helper to the teaching committee ) gives a talk on the real reasons jehovah's witnesses should attend meetings.

it looks like the zoom meetings have softened up many witnesses.

many are probably turning off their cameras and zoning out.

Slice--

. "We would have been in Mosely congregation, Birmingham at the time"

oh--wow. We were in Hockley congregation--meeting in a rented school hall. I attended with parents 1960--68, then i moved to West Bromwich--where my girlfriend was. That was in a different circuit--i think there were 3 circuits covering the Birmingham and surrounding areas.

Moseley--i was born at home in Balsall Heath road..not far from Moseley.

" just your mugs"

back in my early teens the CO used to say that--Graham Carmichael--in the UK, 1960's.

to FISHERMAN.

I see you have been on this site for 19 years--and are a regular and prolific poster in defence of the watchtower / jehovahs witnesses etc. In fact i think you are the only one currently doing that on here.

Would you care to tell us how long you have been a jw ? and what your role in the organisation is ?

My favorite Cooking Pot

by Wonderment in

although cooking pots are not directly "religious" subject, perhaps not many will deny that a happy belly can lead to wholesome religious thoughts and peaceful spiritual discussions.. that said, through the years i have tried most major brands of cooking pots - all the way from all-clad to cast-iron skilets - including some with the most extraordinary claims in between.. however, the one we have used the most in our kitchen is one brand from denmark, specifically, the 5 quart pot called "scanpan.

" it is now approaching 40 years of daily use, and it has held-up surprisingly well.

the handles are as tight as day one when we bought it.

the very last public talk i was supposed to give was about a wide-mouthed cooking pot. It was the last straw for me. I looked at the outline--on the sunday morning--and it made no sense to me. I had no interest and had enough.

I phoned the congregation servant--got an appointment to see him straight away--went there an resigned. Simple as that. That was 51 years ago--i was 23.
