  Pets and Drinking Water

  by cameo-d in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my pet will not drink water from the tap.

  absolutely refuses.

  will look at the bowl of water and back at me, then back to water, then look at me again as if to try to communicate something.

  I am so sorry to hear that outlaw- I have two dogs that are my life. It pulls at my heartstrings to read your story.

  I wish the best for your buddy and his kidneys!

  Portuguese get jipped

  by JWinprotest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not sure if anyone else has heard, but here in the portuguese district that covers southern ontario and montreal had their convention cut from 3 days to 2 days.

  when it was announced they told the congregation that they would be getting the same program in 2 days......but weeks later they were told that they could not take part in the invitation campaign because the theme of the public talk was printed on the flyer and they were not having a public talk.

  does anyone know the reason why they would do this to just this one group?

  have i missed the boat?

  never thought the system would go on so i would never face this situation....problem is my mum always told me how i was the firstborn after 4 baby deaths {this really messed her up and scared me} me and my sister who is married and 30 have had no kids....no grandkids for my family.

  i'm financially well off, and without kids i spend money on whatever i want and have pets but....still feels abit empty.

  These are all good stories to hear... I am 33 and hubby is 38... we just got married last summer and want to do so many things and travel before we could even think about having kids... heck- I need to graduate college first...

  We'll probably be 36-37 and 42-43 when we have our first... fingers crossed.

  Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism

  by whereami in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone ever read this?.

  most atheists come from a family where the father was missing, dead, weak or abusive.

  paul c. vitz has written a very interesting book entitled faith of the fatherless: the psychology of atheism (spence, 1999).. .

  A "My Book of Bible Stories" tale that I've always hated

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've always hated story #53: "jepthah's promise".

  i always felt sorry for the daughter who had to spend the rest of her days at the tabernacle because her father made a numb-nuts promise to god.

  who did he think he was, making promises for other people?

  The bible account of Jepthah's daughter is generally believed to have him literally sacrifice (as in kill for god) her. The dubs water it down by making it sound like she is "sacrificed into god's service" at a temple. But I think actual bible scholars understand that she is killed.

  Praise Jah! What a loving god. Let's fashion our lives around his principles!!

  my assistant, (1 year), tells me she went to the bet awards sunday, her boyfriend is in law enforcement and i guess got a ticket for her.

  so we were talking about mj's dad, joe jackson, and she said how embarassing he is.. then she says, "you know, they were raised jw.

  " then she proceeds to tell me she studied and married a jw, and was involved with the jw's for 18 years, never baptized.

  Just kidding ;)

  what was the worst advice you were ever given

  by rockmehardplace in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was that one way to increase my field service time for me and my wife was by standing at a truck stop and hand out tapes to truckers in the early mornings.

  this is the same lot that is frequented by drug dealers and hookers.

  another time, while studying, i said i did not understand the blood issue.

  Ambition in older age - watch out you thirty somethings

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a couple of topics recently have made me think.

  first, there was snowbird's "i think i am getting old" and the news that farrah fawcett has died at the relatively young age of 62.. also, the economic down turn has started older people wondering if retirement as we used to know it will be a thing of the past.

  i am 56 years old but somehow never see myself retiring in the traditional sense of the word.. i am beginning to think that we are beginning to the time when older people will become more and more ambitious.

  I'm hearing more and more of the moms (some reason the dads aren't doing it) of my friends getting PhDs in their 50s and 60s. I think it's very cool. I don't think that they are doing it to get an edge in the job market but they are interested in education...
