  I agree with luna, it is very nice to see a single dad take on the responsibilty. In fact, I question a mans character, if he is not involved with his kids. And when you start dating, you will have a good understanding of the ups and downs of singleparenthood. Many men who date single moms, dont understand the bond that parents have with thier kids. Chances are you are going to meet a single mom yourself and you can go into the relationship with eyes wide open.

  In a nutshell, thank God, you were able to step in and take care of your children. Kids need thier dad to just as much as they need thier mother.

  take care

  IW...the point is, is that a person should have the right to decide on their treatment without pressure from their religious organization. God is a God of love, and I do not believe for one minute, that he thinks we should go this far. Life if prescious, and we should do all we can to preserve it. I believe God gave man the gift to prolong life. If you think for one minute that Bethany's situation brought a 'good witness to Jehovah' you are wrong. Alot of people are turned off organized religion, just for these reasons exactly. And yes, I heard that Bethany was tied down and forced the transfusions. She felt bad and guilty only because she was mislead to believe that this was all bad. If the WTS would only stay out of peoples affairs and let them do what they need to do, then none of this would have happened. The WTS is very good at putting on restrictions and controls on its people, that I do not believe comes from God. Like I said, I believe God is a God of Love, and that is what I want to continue to believe.

  hi everyone, i have a friend, who wants me to attend the meetings again.

  he has said that the faithful and discreet slave are inviting those that have not attended for awhile, to come to the memorial, and then there is going to be a special talk in april-may, and then they want us to come to the convention in the summer.

  which apparently will be about welcoming those who once were involved to come back.

  Exactly james_woods...its just a way to keep the flock interested and thinking something special is going to happen soon....but man o man, you just get so tired of the same old stuff...the watchtower society is the most manipulative organization that I have ever seen in my life. So glad to be free of it all.

  cheers!

But I suspect, that the numbers are down, they are losing people left and right, it's their way to get us all back for other reasons than what they are saying....What do you all think??
