It started out as just a walk ...
by kwintestal in... and it turned into an animal rescue.. it was a beautiful day here, so after supper my wife, two kids and myself decided to take a stroll in the woods nearby.
you have to drive a ways up an out-of-the-way road to get to this trail and we had a great time on our walk.
so we're headed back to the car and hear a faint, "meow".

Meat eating preditors will eat grass like a lamb!
by jimakazi ini am always a little pi***d when i see jw illustrations showing lions and tigers in the close vacinity of samll children, lambs and other meaty treats with no safety barriers.
[why this is paradise is beyound me - these anaimals smell].. so if we assume an intelligent creator, why would he create large meat eating preditors if he really ment them to eat grass?
every thing about their make up is about specialistation, from teeth, to jaws, to how their stomachs work.

Congratulations on your anniversary! You should be very proud of yourself. Family members can be very stressful, I'm finding the older I get the less I want to be around my siblings because of their negativity & dysfunctionalism. I'm glad they live out of town.

You should take community college classes--they are not as expensive. Maybe you could talk to a career counselor. As for your wife not working--that is pretty difficult these days unless you are making big bucks. You might think about maybe applying for a grant for a technical-type school in computers or something like that. If you have a family to support and are not making much money--you should be able to get some financial aid, but I'm talking about the US and I'm not sure where you are from.
I'm in a terrible financial bind myself right now, it's very frustrating. I wish you much luck!

Covert Field Service tactic
by doinmypart inhere's an idea i thought of for those of us still associated with the jws and going in field service:.
1. write the url to this site, quotes, silentlambs, etc.
on post-it notes (little yellow sticky papers).. 2. put the post-it notes inside the folded portion of a tract, or first page of wt magazine.. 3. leave the tract or magazine at not-at-homes.. in the chance the householder peruses the litter-ature rather than trash it, they will see the note and possibly visit the referenced website.

I love your sneaky ideas! I made up my own tracts and left a couple on the Public transportation this week. I don't know why I feel like I have to sneak and do it, I guess because I don't want to run into anyone who is sympathetic to the JWs.

Ok I need to vent here. What really is pissing me off right now is that I own property with siblings and cousins I've never met, it's been in Escrow since January, but because one of my cousins has a mental illness and refused to sign papers 4 months ago I don't know when I will see my money--also because about 4 different attorneys have become involved because of the stupidity of my relatives. Meanwhile--my credit is going down the toilet, my husband took a HUGE cut in pay for a new job, my child support quit coming because my ex likes to switch jobs every month, I have 2 payday loans out right now to put food on the table, my credit is maxed out, my cell phone is about to be turned off, my daughter just graduated and I couldn't give her a decent gift, all my utilities are a month behind, my car payment is behind, etc etc etc. I had to leave work early yesterday because I literally felt sick from stress. It feels like the damn roof is caving in on me and I feel so bleepity bleep frustrated. My well-to-do cousins didn't want to sell the property in the first place because of nostalgia surrounding my grandparents property, even though the first offer a year ago on the property was ONE MILLION dollars--3 times the value of the property. Meanwhile, my pothead brother who doesn't bathe or ever clean his house or even hold a job when he doesn't have to, had been living rent-free on this property for the last 12 years while I've been working my ass off to support me and 3 kids as a single mom. Now I'm married and am even worse off financially.
Ok I'm done venting now. There was a court hearing on this stupid property yesterday and so now I'm waiting to hear if I am ever going to receive my friggin money.

My Dad
by Crumpet injust a wee update on my current tentative drawing out of my family.
i sent a letter, which not coincidentally was timed to arrive on fathers day weekend just gone.
its the first letter i've sent in 8 years to my family and whilst i was careful to avoid any mention of religion i did talk about how happy i was generally and mentioned how nice it is that i see so much of my inlaws who despite living 800 miles away make regular visit to us at least 3 or 4 times a year.

After 30 years my mother now has doubts!!
by diamondblue1974 ini have just finished an incredibly long conversation with my mother which was tense in parts and hard going but i feel as though i have made a break-through; i was incredibly delicate in my approach given her 30 years inside the borg but again i think i have made some headway.. we covered the un scandal and i asked whether she had heard anything about the wts affiliation with the un as an ngo; she surprisingly had heard nothing about it; i read the guardian articles to her and she was silent....i half expected to hear her hang up the phone but she continued to stay on.
she tried to justify it initially but slowly i allowed her to reach her own conclusions and she has agreed to let me send the information upto her; i.e the guardian newspaper articles and the ngo press release.. we covered the child abuse policies and lack off protection for children and covered the highly legalistic approach taken in the very little policy they have...which is mainly about self preservation.
i asked her whether she knew that the society in the us are being sued by a number of different people for the organisations failure to protect children from abuse and i asked if i could get the proof without using 'apostate' sources, i.e primary sources such as court judgements etc, would she accept the information?

Wish you much luck, and hope she doesn't get persuaded to shun you. You might share with her the conflicting blood policy, and the Malawi vs. Mexico fiasco if she lets you share more info that is.
