What exactly do you mean by "judge?" Society judges and condemns people all the time. Not only for the safety of humanity, but also for it's propagation.
oh sweetie...you have so much to learn........good luck to you dear.

So when I see a murderer stabing you to death, I'll be respectful of his personal choice, not judge him, and walk away. Great logic.
ok, now you are comparing apples to oranges.......it's an inappropriate topic and serves no purpose but to start an arguement....no one has any right to judge another, that is what I am saying. I appologize for stepping on your toes obviously, I mean no harm to your personal beliefs. I will never try to change nor persuade your thinking on issues like this, because I am aware of peoples religeous beliefs and strong opinions and how very important it can be to them, as yourself....but I will never put myself in the place of God either.
No Mr. Pole,
Abortion is a personal choice and no one has any right to judge another according their choice, the only one that has that right his God himself, and none of us are in the position to judge another. what would it matter to you if I were for or against it...it serves no purpose but to simply raise an arguement. If judgemental is what you choose to be then you are no different than where you came from in being a JW....if there is anything I've learned in the past decade is to never judge another, ever....I spent a lot of wasted time with judgemental people and never again will I be that again.
I view abortion as being a very difficult choice for most anyone and I recognize that all sorts of very difficult circumstances tend to arise that call for the need of an abortion.This is why I am strongly inclined to stay out of others' private business regarding whether or not to have an abortion
I agree....best comment.
I personally will not be one to judge anyone who is in that position to have to make such a difficult decision...nor give my view point one way or another, it just doesn't matter.
okay, y'all, get out your experiences, thinking caps, and remedies.
jennie is 11 (will be 12 in october).
this year she has started to show all of the classic signs of puberty, and a couple of weeks ago had cramps about the same time as my cycle.
My daughter was 11 when she got her first migrane, I was 10. I took my daughter to the emergency room, just for peace of mind and to rule anything else out, they did a cat scan on her which showed negative, and sent her home with basically advil.
Migranes are hereditary, both my parents had them, my sister and I, and unfortunately now, my daughter. I've learned that you have to catch a migrane at it's beginning and be aware of all the onset signs, that's the best way to stop it in its tracks, otherwise no pain medication is going to do anything if you wait until it's full blown. I've been to the emergency room twice in the past 2 years vomitting from the pain....I felt real nice after I left I don't know what was in the IV but I was lov'n everyone.
Good luck with your daughter, hope she feels better.
i have been thinking about this because of another post where the question asks have any of us ever been blackmailed to stay in the watchtower organization.. no, i won't say i was blackmailed; however, after i wrote my note of disassociation, the congregation overseer wanted to visit me in my home with two other elders.
i repeatedly said no, that i would not allow them to chastise me in my own home.
therefore, all of my conversations were over the phone with the overseer.
I was told after the final decision was made, before I walked out that door, that 'the world would eat me alive, and I would never again experience the kind of mercy shown in that room outside in the world'....yeah right, well I'm celebrating a decade of independence this month far from the "mercy' of those elders.
i fully admit to only having dabbled in the waters of philosophy up to now.
i kept on being put off by the smell... .
having said that, is there anyone more clued up than me about the subject who can tell me anything that might make me change my mind?.
Philosophy is fun conversation when your imbibed in the spirits
i have had a rash of jws on this board leaving comments in my inbox telling me how mislead i am.
but what amazes me not one of them yet will analyze the facts with me.
a real discussion means nothing to them.
some feel that becoming a spiritual rambo will legitimize their membership here.
Ritchie, I love this point...'spiritual rambos' !
my son matt at felger park in chicago this afternoon.
so, happy and carefree with not a care in the world...it's so educational to see things through his eyes once in a while, to re-connect with innocence....there's no drug like it in the world :)
it is our responsbility to make sure they have the most carefree and nurturing an upbringing as possible
Frog, I agree, and so opposite of what some of us had, I'm so much more conscientous of it now
I know shes happy. ; It made me think everything is good in my life.
Katie, what an adorable song, it's just so sweet....yeah kids do remind us of how wonderful our life is, they definetly help us reflect on the good things, and right now, it's all good.
Arent kids clothes great as well??? There are loads of stuff my boys wear that i think 'i wish they would come in my size'. Funky little t-shirts and combats....
It used to be only girls clothes that were so much fun, but now that I have a boy I'm finding all kinds of great things, I like the basic boy clothes, t-shirt and blue jeans but oh so stylish now.
That's the point of this thread, to truely remind us how wonderful life is, and kids really do help us to appreciate that. I could be having a bad day and all I have to do is look at my son and just watch him play and be happy, and it's as if all worries seem to vanish. They help us not to take life so seriously....that it's really ok to run through a sprinkler with all your clothes on!
well, what advice can you give me?
28? that's it...OMG.....enjoy every moment! it just keeps getting better.....don't let fear stop you, step off the edge of your comfort zone, because that's when life begins!
