  i really blew it yesterday.

  we had just gotten home from a very long day and we were contemplating what to do for dinner and then a knock at the door.

  the sister was back with an elder and he asked to speak to my husband...completely got his name wrong.

  let's say that a young relative of yours is a dub, 16 years old, and live with her dub parents.. she has come to you because she is pregant and needs you moral and financial support in this matter.. because she was in denial about her condition, if she has an abortion (which is what she wants) it would require a short hopital stay.

  she is 11 weeks i think.. what do you do?.

  1. tell her parents?.

  A while ago I listened to a talk show on the radio about 'teen abortions'. All the callers were grown women ... one was in her seventies. Each and every one of them had had an abortion early in life and each and every one of them regretted it. Some were to the point of feeling suicidal because they felt they had taken a life.

  Not one caller mentioned being a JW or of any specific religious belief. They all agreed that an inborn feeling of sorrow has never left them .. they ALL felt they had killed someone. Not one of them said it was worth saving face or keeping parents from knowing and thus disowning them.

  It is a tremendous shock to any parent to find out their child is pregnant. That shock does pass ... usually with them loving the new addition to bits. That shock passes ... a dead fetus cannot be brought back to life.

  Why Georgia:

  You can get that phone # through 'operator assist'. Someone WILL take your call and there WILL be action taken.

  You should have the same results by phoning and writing to you local cong.

  This is the first time I've ever heard of anyone being called on after written notification.

  All the best ...

  fairchild:

  I do not condone pestering anybody. Your example of the pesky salesman is good. Been there ... done that. They never bother me after being told 'no, but thanks anyway'. I give the same respect to anyone who says the same to me about my message. I do usually call on them again in about a year.

  "Why go back?" ... circumstances change. People move. People change their minds

  If they are still not interested, I leave on friendly terms. I'm not there to antagonize anyone. The whole point is to present an option for each person to consider. The witness has been given and my conscience is clear.

  fairchild ... do you think Noah was too pushy by warning about the up coming flood?

  Golden Girl ... you sound like a nice person ... too bad we couldn't have met under different circumstances.

  Why Georgia ...You are absolutely right. I have no business being here. I read over the threads though and the way you came down on two unsuspecting people was unsettling. In my own case, I have to say it would not get so far ... I don't agree with pushing people for an answer so would have left your house immediately. This is still inappropriate behaviour on your part. Did you let your policewoman neighbor read your first post here. If you do, let me know what she says. You in fact could be the one charged.

  johnny cip ... you are one scary dude. May I assume you are only out on 'good' behaviour?

  Why Georgia:

  You have given a good outline of the whole situation. It all boils down to being only your business anyway. All I'm saying is that going by your first post on this thread ... you could have been more civil, no matter what your health concerns were. You do realize there are people who live with almost unbearable pain 24/7. They don't treat anybody as you did here. You cannot possibly condone that behaviour.

  You can dislike anyone for any reason ... that's your business. That does not give you license to mistreat anyone. In the end we are all responsible for our actions and you could have been sued by these gentlemen for threatening behaviour. Maybe time to give your actions some serious thought before you end up in a great deal of trouble.

  Anytime you feel you may go off the deep end ... read your first post here and see if you think that is rational behaviour. Let your neighbor policewoman read it too.

  OK ... no diversion here ... one thought ... Ok?

  I think your mental health is fragile.

  I didn't answer because it's none of your business.

  I diverted nothing ... simply said what I thought of your mental state.

  sKally:

  You say I am transparent and I'm not fooling anyone here with my excuse.

  Well, you tell me. You seem to have all the answers.

  p.s. ... I'm beginning to think your mental state is a bit fragile.
