When I got baptized my sister and her husband had a bible and reasoning book rebound and personalized for me.
It was nice of them, considering the timing of things.

Why did you get married?
by pratt1 inas a young dub in the 80's me along with many of my friends got married, either in our teens or early 20's.. in my area, if you were over 25 and not married, it was percieved that something was wrong with you or you were probably engaging in sex with a "worldly" person.. by why did so many of us feel the need to get married so young?.
i believe it was because of one of three reasons.. 1. you wanted to get out of your parets home.. 2. you had already gone "too far" with you girlfriend or boyfriend.. 3. you were just an average normal teenager and you knew this was the only way you could legally have sex.. .
was this true in your area?.

Because I want to be with my best friend
Because I want to spend my life with him

What do you think of Benny Hinn,Joyce Meyer, and Joel Osteen Ministries?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe whole objective of the wts is to print as many books and magazines and sell them house to house with free labor from its members.. looking at these other ministries,they too print as many books as possible and sell them to it's members and viewing audience.the donations they take in are in the millions.
some of these ministers are payed a huge salary and live in massive homes which have been shown on television.. my questions are: don't all religions use their members for gains in the name of god?
don't all religions own massive properties,schools,and personal properties all in the name of god?

r's hubby...thanks.
Ya know being a parent is hard. Being a parent of a kid w/ challenges is tougher.
I don't know sometimes what to say to people. On one hand we don't want our kids to be treated different, on the other hand, dang, we want to know that the people we put in their lives are compassionate and empathetic (sp). We don't want to coddle any of our kids, but we do want to protect them.
As Open Mind said, I DO see the poing about political correctness....and I DO see John Doe's oddly made point ....
On both sides finding the place to draw the line is not easy. Where I want it drawn is drastically different then the next person's.
Do I enclose my family in a circle of friends who think like us, thereby am I creating and fostering the same mental environment that I sought to escape? Do I knock off people like Mary and Outlaw just because they differ in this one area?
On the hardest of days I sit and think, hell yeah. But ya know.....we can't always agree on everything. We can't always think alike. I WANT people to understand WHY it hurts when they use the word RETARD to describe the President (I didn't vote for by the way) of the USA. Why they are willing to put this man who (imho) has no problem missiling civlians in a foreign country killing innocent people (let's not get started). That they are putting this man on the same mental level as some of the most loving, compassionate people I have ever met.
It hurts.
It just does.
And r's hubby....perhaps I am just trying and have tried way too damn hard to just say in the most simplest of terms when you do that, you the people that I have at times considered the only friends I have had since leaving the JW's, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts.
But I suppose I figure I would be reminded "don't get too emotional".
r is a lucky lady
