after my dog chewed the internet cable and left me off line for 24 hours, i got inspired to post this topic.
have your pets caused damage in your house or even beyond?
my dog also chewed and ruined a couple of shoes and a ten pound note (around $18) that fell to the floor without me realising this.
Years ago I had a kitten who liked phone lines.... One day the phone rang and I answered it (not a cordless phone, the kind that was attached to the wall)... Held it to my ear, and heard no voice, but it kept ringing. It took a minute before I figured out what had happened.

it's true.
you were always accountable to someone.
always had to wonder whether you might "stumble" someone.
I didn't realize it until I had left.
I still remember the moment I realized that Armageddon isn't coming. The WTS was teaching lies, and Armageddon wasn't just around the corner... It was like a 1000 lb. weight had been lifted off of me. I had lived almost my entire life, believing that I wasn't good enough and would in all likelyhood be destroyed at Armageddon..... And now it wasn't coming! I can't even describe the way that felt.
I feel so free.

some of us here remember threads about how some here have decided not to play by dub rules in the area of shunning.
for instance.....they say "since the borg is a bogus religion and since it's shunning policies are not biblically nor morally based in most cases, they fell they should freely speak to other jehovahs witnesses whenever they wish even though they know the witnesses are to shun them when approched or contacted by them.
they feel they do not need to play by dub standards when around a dub any longer and one reason is.....they do not want the dub to feel that you think they are right and you are wrong by playing the part of a shunned person.
Morning, gumbers!!
luna2 - I feel like you do. I'm not DF'd, but my very best friends are now avoiding me. I'm not one to force myself on someone, so I'm thinking, it's her loss... I'm not going to force the issue. But if I was being shunned and bumped into someone on the street, I would definately smile and say hi. I won't become a rude person just because someone else is.
(((((hugs))))) to everyone who is being shunned

i'd be interested in hearing your experiences, if you were newly inactive and felt pressured to go to the memorial.
did the jw's pressure you to go or did you feel guilty for missing the lord's evening meal (well, we all miss it anyway when we pass it round)
I have been wondering what to do this year.
I haven't been to a meeting in over a year, but I did go to the memorial last year. Now, I feel like the people at the hall are sort of used to NOT seeing me there. In addition, the elders were calling here for a while and trying to get in touch with me. I like being out of sight, out of mind.
The thing is, I don't know if I'm drawing more attention to myself by going, or by not going.
The actual Memorial 'celebration' means nothing to me. I don't believe that only 144,000 have a special relationship with Christ.

so what do you like ladies and gentalmen, .
on men that is.
facail hair on women doesn't really do it for me.
Depends on the guy... Some look good with facial hair and some definately don't.
I like beards or goatees on the right guy. Hubby's a clean-shaven JW, and I do think clean-shaven is definately easier on the lips...

what kind of bad stuff did you do in school?
here's a small list of what i did:.
- white out things in textbooks and put something dirty in its place.
I never did anything wrong.... Until my senior year of high school, when I started secretly dating the bad-boy JW in our hall. He would take off work early and meet me in the school parking lot and we would make out until he had to go back to work...
Got my first kiss in the parking lot of that high school. Ah, the memories......

last time I was on Drew said the show had about 150,000 listeners.
I was wondering about how many listeners that show has! Thanks for that tidbit of info...
I listened to the whole interview this afternoon, and it was great. I really missed your site when it went down, but reexaminer is doing a great job now with his... Thanks, Quotes, for all the years you put into hosting your site and all the info you compiled.
And thanks for posting this interview!

On a cruise... In the Carribbean... or better yet, the Mediterranian! On a ship with a spa and heated pools and lots of exotic stops...
Now if I can just find someone who wants to give me a present...
