as you know, my husband dave (aka almostatheist) is atheist.
my son came up to me last night and declared that he "doesn't" believe in any kind of higher power.
being eclectic pagan...this bothered me because i know for me, if i didn't have any kind of "faith", i'd be crushed.
Some people need faith and some do not. Children are just little people and shouldn't be manipulated. Present your arguements and let them decide. As others said they will eventually learn to question and doubt their own beliefes just like the rest of us..
From the MS with no children... :-)

if you're single, what behavior(s) or actions by your partner would cause you to end a relationship, other than infidelity?
if you're married, what behavior(s) or actions by your spouse would cause you to seek a divorce, other than infidelity?
This is a hard question. Wife and I have always said that even for adultery we would have to consider the circumstances. A quick fling or long term emotional involvement? Also she is famous for saying that the only way I’ll get rid of her is murder. But I think if I saw that I was really making her unhappy I would leave. I am struggling with that now as she wants to be a faithful dub and I most certainly do not.
hello, have not posted in quite some time.
i put up some st. patrick's decorations at work, including one of those demonized little leprechauns, and enjoyed the look of a jw i work with when she came into the office this morning.
you know the look of pretending they didn't notice those evil holiday decorations?
With the 3/4's the other 1/4 is German. So the joke was always, we have a really bad temper and we will shoot you right in the head. It was a joke though. I have never gotten into a fight. (except with my brother... the b@stard...)
we have a monitor for our little one and i was awoken pretty early with "music".
ok, this isn't quite unusual because she'll wake up and then put her music thing on that's in her baby bed then go back to sleep.
but this time it started singing "rockin to the music...1,2,3...rockin to the music 1---2---3" ok, that is when it got my attention.
My cat seems to love ice cream and rice crackers. But he is a little weird anyway. We took him to the vet to get cut and the vet gave him back saying there, "was no need."
sort of in conjuction with the thread about "feeling" something different in the atmosphere of the kh as of late a few things have been on my mind.
i make maybe one meeting a week.
every time i go i get smiles from the brothers and a nice, "how are you doing xxxx?
Hmm.. That sort of makes me worried about the people that are "meant" to be wittnesses. j/k But i know what you're talking about eventually water finds it's own level. Eventually i'll find mine, hopefully i don't die first..
never fit in.
never cared to.
most witnesses bored me to absolute tears.
Dear Imustbreakaway,Have you ever heard of the SCA or Society for Creative Anacronisms (sp)? I'm just judging your avatar. Depending on your hobbies and interests, you may find "your kind" among them (again, just judging from your avatar).
Everyone has a pod.
Blessings,

Thanks for the thoughts. I have done some renfests but my avatar is really just a joke, it was the first red-beared viking i could find. I have always enjoyed ren-fests but was discouraged as a child.. (big suprise) Might look into it again..

Never been popular anywhere, never will be. I am friendly. I get invited sometimes. Everyone likes me. But no tried and true friends. Never met someone "cut from the same cloth." My loss really. Perhaps i keep people at an arms length.
well the c.o was visiting the congregation a few weeks ago and he made an interesting comment.. he said that years ago when the society said "jump" the brothers would respond "how high?.
now when the society says "jump" the brothers ask "why"?.
this tells me that the walls of this spiritual paradise are cracking and that many are not willing to put up with all the crap that jw's of the past did.. what do you think?
When i was in bethel the saying was a little different. When bethel first started it was Jump out the window.
Answer was, "wheeeeee!!"
Then the answer became, "show me that in the watchtower... ok wheeee!!!"
Then the answer became, "show me that in the bible... ok wheeeee!!!"
Now it's, "I don't see how that applies...."
.
so who thinks brooke is beautiful?.
i do - and of course richie rich is president of the fan club - anybody else?
I think i need more pictures before i finally decide... ;-)

c.o. came and went recently. I know that i am "inactive" but also there are a lot of sisters in the hall with UBMs. Maybe they just assume i am one of those. Also i give them the impression that i work a lot. (the answer is always "I'm working")
