  Swimming anyone??

  by chrissee in

  this is a picture of a catfish that a guy recently caught at lake texhoma.

  according to the news, he was fishing from the shore with a 20 pound test line.

  when he realized what a huge fish he had caught, he stayed in the water with it .

  `68 & `69 was the transition period of studying with JW`s, and when we stopped celebrating

  "worldly events" I had no idea at this time what extreme life changes were on their

  way for our lives then. So I guess this in when JW`s took my enjoyment of being a youth

  away.

  as you get older, do you find yourself gravitating towards softer music, or do you find you like the harder stuff as much as ever?.

  The "BRAG AS MUCH AS YOU WANT ABOUT YOUR KIDS" thread

  by outbutnotdown in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on my "backyard rink" thread some of us were bragging about our kids.

  confusedjw and scootergirl shared their kids' hockey and skating successes.. i thought it would be cool to have a thread where parents (and other relatives) could post their kids' achievements as they come along.. births, first steps, first words, sports/academic achievements, etc.

  i'll start:.

  Of course this is a topic we`ll just jump right into!! We love it!!

  I`m a proud parent of a "soon to be" 14 year old boy, who appears to have his Dad`s musical

  talents. He attended a performing arts elementary school and was in the school`s marching

  band. He has acquired the knowledge to be able to play drums, keyboards, and the bass because

  of this school experience. We have been very fortunate to be able to put these instruments in his

  bedroom. ( lucky fellow!) Not a complete drum set yet!! I`m not ready for that in a small condo!

  But nothing brings me more joy than to be in the house doing stuff and listening to the creativity coming

  from my son`s room. This past summer by his own means he purchased his first guitar, he picked a

  Dimebag Darrell signature Washburn, he`s a happy guy! Now I`m just waiting to see if he becomes

  a future Rock Star!

  i can't remember how many bushels of potatoes and onions i peeled over the years.

  That was funny Nina!

  Most of these stories are all the same, and mine is in there as well. And we`re all about the same

  age bracket, give or take 10 years. Says alot for what the WTS called "discipline" for your kids.

  Totally controling. If there wasn`t physical there was definitely emotional abuse going on!

  No wonder we ended up here looking for compassion, and answers.
