  If Money Were No Object, What Hobby(s) Would You Pursue?

  by Stephanus in

  i'd probably have a pretty well stocked backyard machine shop, complete with lathe(s), milling machine, welding gear, etc.

  i'm a fitter and turner by trade, so it kind of makes sense...

  I would get some really great riding horses and pack out on lots of camping trips on horse back. I would also take the horse backing riding trips that they offer in Ireland, France, Canada, Spain Germany, etc. Especially the ones in France. I would love to collect art and even better learn to make it. I want my own milk cow too. A farm would be a lot of fun.

  thirdwitness—Can you Scripturally support JW dogma?

  thirdwitness,.

  my father, who sat on his first judicial committee when he was 17 and has been and "elder" ever since, couldn't provide scriptures to support some very basic teachings of jehovah's witnesses.

  our current circuit overseer could not either.

  (((((((((((((Richie)))))))))))

  I am sorry for the pain you are feeling. I don't know exactly how you feel becuase fortunately my parents left the org with me and my family. But I will tell you from a mothers stand point, there is nothing that my son could do that could take away my love from him. Sure, he might disappoint me and I might be grieved at decisions he makes but he is still mine and that is enough.

  I know that your mom is still entrenched in that organization but you might be her only opportunity to get out. The fact that she called even though you are D'aed might mean she is not letting the Watchtower completely control her.

  Express to her your love for her and even if she doesn't respond at least you've done all that you could to keep a relationship with her. Maybe eventually she will come around. You seem like a really great guy and she will be able to see though all the superficial stuff and see what is behind all the tatoos, earings and contacts.

  Did You Ever "Tell Off" An Elder or Circuit Overseer?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know of very few that would "dare" tell off a co but elders were different.

  having been an elder for many years, it was very easy to go back and forth with a fellow elder and basically tell him he was dumb.

  I have had a couple of runins with elders.

  There was a time when I really would have liked to have it out with a CO's wife. About 10 years ago, while I was quite poor, I gave a donation to the CO's wife. She very sweetly told me, "Thank you, I will buy my horse something with this." I didn't say anything but that was the last donation I ever gave to a CO.

  Liquidsky:

  Thanks for the link. Though, my bite isn't nearly as bad as those, there do seem to be some similarities in appearance. I guess I should get it checked. A little antibiotics never hurt anyone.

  If that is your photo on your avatar, you look a lot like my little sister. And that is a compliment. I think my sister is really pretty.

  Blondie:

  Thank you for the recommendation. I am always looking for another book. I am a bit of an addictive reader.

  Thank you Blondie and exwitless. I think that tomorrow I will call and make an appointment. I just really really hate going to the doctor but I guess that an appointment is better than a hospital visit.

  Blondie: Would you recommend reading the Spider Dance?

  Would this offend you, if the government made this policy

  by free2beme in

  if the government had this policy .... given that 100% of the terrorist who did 9/11 were arab, and most terrorist are arab.

  we as a government will racially profile the arab population and visitors to our country.

  spending more time inspecting them, checking them out, and making sure that they are singled out and watched more then any other race.. would this offend you?.

  I don't really like getting into political discussions because I really don't have any hard rules that I think work or that I agree wtih. But, I guess I have already said something. So, I will put another two cents in.

  I am not crazy, at all, about the Muslim religion. I think that it is just another cultish place that treats women badly and they think that they are the only ones who are right. So, similar to JW's. The extremists of their religion also seem to be bent on killing other human beings in acts of terrorism.

  However, Americans are not racially profiled as killers but I think that they, as a nation, commited one of the biggest acts of terrorism ever when they dropped the H-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Sure there was a world war going on and it certainly ended it but when they dropped those bombs it wasn't on a military compound it was on women, children and people that could in no way prepare or defend themselves. I am not anti American, I am one but living with this in our past is surely not something that I am proud of. Maybe there are some Muslims that agree with that sentiment as well. Hopefully there are those that are embarrassed by the actions of people in their religion.

  Do I believe in racial profiling, yes, on who, humans in general. We are certainly a violent lot. How sad that any race comes to the conclusion that the solution to a problem is to blow each other up.

  Loruhamah~I think I will put my rose colored glasses back on now and hear what ya'll have to say.

  Richie: I can't believe you still have the mark. Those are some nasty buggers.(BR's)

  IP-SEC: I am glad that you are happy there. I think that Louisiana would be a really fun place to live. The culture there is really neat. Do you like boudin? I think I could actually live on that and beer. Have you tried Blackened Voodoo? Really wonderful beer.
