  2. friends

  breaking in my new scanner here.

  this is another image that captured my eye, an august 2004 wt.

  the caption reads: "some have eliminated certain hobbies and nonessential personal projects" can you come up with a better one?

  Is a Dead Bunny Funny?

  by OUTLAW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just had a buddy up to the ranch.this is his story:.....a friend of mine saw his dog with a dead animal in his mouth covered in dirt..it was a dead bunny..not any dead bunny..this was the nieghbours family pet bunny..my friend was shocked and didn`t know what to do.he knew the nieghbours would get very upset that his dog had killed their pet bunny..the nieghbours weren`t home right now,so he came up with a plan..he cleaned the dirt off of the dead bunny and put it back in it`s pen and hurried home..a little while later,the nieghbours came home..a few days later my friend and his nieghbour had a chat..the nieghbour was angry and upset..the nieghbour said:"last week our family pet bunny died.the kids were upset and cried.so me and the mrs thought we`d have a funeral for the bunny with the kids and give it a nice burial..well,a few days ago,some sick bastard dug the bunny out of the grave and put it in it`s pen."..lol!

  !...outlaw

  I did giggle--so I guess it's funny! But, if it happened to me, I would be worried that there was a weirdo in my neighborhood!

  JW teenage pregnancies...............did you know of any ?

  by vitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was in the borg for 20 of my adult years and i must say that in all that time i only knew of one sister who got pregnant before she was married.

  she was given a public reproof and was never treated badly.. considering a lot of the teenagers did most things they shouldnt have and many did get reproved for immorality, i am surprised that many didnt get pregnant.

  especially as they would of likely not have been taking contraception.. was this common in you kh or area?.

  I know of several teenage pregnancies over the years--seems they were always very young--15! I also recall two single adult sisters who became pregnant.

  this evening i went for a walk near the mouth of the bega river, several kilometres from my place.

  i enjoyed the peace and took a few photos.. for several years the pelicans here were my concern (keeping an eye on them and occationally capturing them to remove fish hooks and the like.

  while there a duck billed mud stinky arrived.

  I was filling my feeders a couple days ago and a bird tried to land on my shoulder! It was either a chicadee or a nuthatch!

  What planted the seed of doubt that lead you to leave or think of leaving?

  2. experiences

  i've been thinking of this a lot lately.

  the following experience ties my first doubt in with my present life.

  as a backdrop to this, you should know that i was a 5th generation "raised in the truth" jw through my mother (her great-grandfather got "the truth" from pastor russell).

  It all started with a little article in the newspaper about Bill Bowen. I started reading the Silentlambs website and was so shocked to find out how the WTS does not protect children.

  Then the WT article about blood fractions really confused me............................

  Then I found this forum and realized I am not alone!
