  My new worries about my mom-Suicide?

  by JWdaughter in

  2. experiences

  i love my jw mom.

  we have had issues and struggles, but she loves me, i love her and we tolerate a lot of things we differ about because of that love.. you may remember my dad died a little over 11 years ago, and my mom took to a lot of drinking and she was very depressed.

  i thought she would just die of despair or drink herself dead or drive drunk.. she has calmed down on the depression and i i know she still drinks too much, but i think it is a little more ocntained.

  JWDaughter - Sorry for the struggles with your mom and, Boy! do I relate to much of this. There are so many of us with aging parents that are facing these difficult scenarios. For ex-JWs, I think it's even more complicated.

  You wrote: I don't know what to think I don't even know how JWs view this-I forget! Seems dead before armageddon, you get another chance, right? Or does suicide screw you?

  Last I heard/understood, JWs view suicide as 'self-murder', thus likely disqualifying one for resurrection. But, really, only Jehovah knows for sure.

  I agree with FoundSheep - Have this conversation with your mom and be direct and blunt. Not emotional, not judgemental. Just an open and honest conversation. Maybe also make arrangements to meet with one or more of her doctors yourself (with mom) so you can ask the tough questions yourself and get a more realistic understanding of her condition.

  Please keep us posted. Your updates are likely to help others as much as yourself.

  Any suggestions for a 'quick' tour of Yellowstone National Park??

  .

  i know the park is huge and i won't have much time there, but in a couple of weeks i will have a day or a day and a half to explore this part of the country.. i will be busy at big sky resort for a few days and leaving from bozeman on tuesday.

  that leaves all day monday and possibly part of sunday to explore.. does anyone have any suggestions for maximizing my free time in yellowstone?

  Tough to get a handle on what there is to see and do without ever having been there before. Great suggestions so far. Keep them coming.

  Oh yikes. I had not even thought of this. I guess if we go into the mud, we should be concerned. Anyone else have comments?

  Cats and Dogs should not be spayed or neutered!

  by IMHO in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a controversial subject that hasn't been talked about here for 10 years (or so it seems on my quick search).. .

  i think it's wrong to spay or neuter.

  i bet most of you will disagree.. my vet just called me an irresponsible owner for refusing to have my cat spayed..

  Fakesmile - Thanks for the valuable tip. That is top of my list. I think hantavirus is mostly being reported in Yosemite this year, though.

  Still Thinking - LOL~! Yes. I purposefully said 'bison'. Picking up on that point in American history before men interfered. That time when the bison ran free, and so did the 'in tact' cats. Maybe I should have said buffalo?

  IMHO wrote: Suffice to say they got by fine before man decided to start operating on them.

  Did they really 'get along fine', or were their numbers controlled by the wild? I would imagine that 400,000+ little kittens fed quite a few bison, bear, cougars and snakes.

  This conversation reminds me of conversation with my JW mom when I was having my 2 boy kittens 'fixed'. She thought it was a waste of money since male cats can't have kittens.
