  Sh*t that sucks. I feel for his family. My sympathies go out to them.

  Acadian ~ it is men like this and my husband who are willing to sacrifice their lives so you can have the freedom to spout drivle.

  Vaginal Birth or Cesarean Section

  by Dimples in

  to all the mommy's out there...did you deliver vaginally or by c-section?.

  i was fortunate enough to deliver both my children vaginally although i came close to a c-section with my son.

  he was in the posterier position.

  All three of our children were born vaginally.

  1st girl 7lbs. 10 oz. ~ 5 hours. No medication. Went into labor late at night on the due date, she was born the next morning.

  2nd boy 8 lbs. 10 oz. ~ 6 hours. No medication. He was born 10 days before his due date (I was sick of being pregnant so I helped it along). The doctor had to turn him (he was also posterior - major back labor) during one of my contractions and his collar bone broke coming out.

  3rd boy 8 lbs. 15 oz ~ 10 hours. I was induced 15 days early because we knew it was going to be a big baby and didn't want a repeat of the broken collar bone. I thought I would again be able to do the no medication route. I got to 5 cm and was in so much pain that I couldn't think. It was horrible. I had a spinal and the pain went away. When the effects started wearing off, it was time to push and a few pushes later out came our little munchkin. When I was in labor with our last child I was in so much pain and I couldn't figure out why it hurt so bad since my other two deliveries were relatively easy. I was just blabbering incoherantly and told my husband that I thought it was because we weren't JW's anymore - that was the only difference I could think of between my other children's delivery and this one. Thankfully, the nurse pointed out that I was 10 years older than the last time I delivered and my body wasn't ready to be in labor being induced an all. We might have had to go back...

  Your high school teachers, good or bad memories?

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  going back to the days of your high (secondary) school what sort of memories do you have of your teachers?

  were they competent in teaching and caring about you personally or were they inept, rude and indifferent?

  if you met them today how would you feel and react towards them?

  My high school english teacher was the best. I remember one day trying to get her attention and instead of saying, "Ms. Rose", I said, "Mom". She was awesome. It is because of her that I love the English language with all of its quirks.

  Do you see the average Jehovah’s Witness as a victim...?

  by trevor in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i think most of us appreciate the difference between the tyrannical watchtower society and the average sheep like followers who make up the congregations.

  we have been jehovahs witnesses so we know how brainwashed they are.

  i am interested in knowing how you feel towards jehovahs witnesses individually and whether you hold them accountable.

  I don't hold them responsible for my disfunction, after all I allowed it. But I do hold them responsible for their own stupidity. As for them being victims, no they are choosing that life.

  Where (Who) in the World is Hibiscusfire?

  by Big Dog in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i noticed that hibie hasn't posted since the dating thread where it was pointed out that she borrowed some of her material from other websites, blogs, etc.. hibie has quickly become a fixture here with her threads that draw responses like crazy and her unusual preaching style.

  i don't think i am alone in wondering just who she really is since she seems to avoid all questions directed to her about who she is, how she came to this website, what she is trying to accomplish.. she has been called everything from mentally ill, to born again, to a troll by those on the board.. hibie, in all seriousness, i'd really like to know who you are and how you got here.

  if you are a teenager having fun, that's okay, but some of the stuff on this forum isn't really appropriate for a younger teen.
