Too be honest I have to idea what I believe. Before I got mixed up with the dubs I was going to a Lutheran Church, and church really had no effect on me then. I just saw it as a place where my family dropped 20 bucks into the contrib box and then I would try not to fall asleep during the boring ass surmons.
So from there the dubs were my next spiritual experience. And that did not go the best to say the least. If there is a God, he hasn't done shit for me. And he hasn't answsered one pray said in earnest or protected my family in one way. I see all religion as different forms of control, power and capitolism.
Some times I do look up and wonder why I am here or whats going to happen to me when I die, and I haven't come up with an answer besides pure instinct; we are here to reproduce and then die. And do so in a, for the most part, horrible enviroment.
Maybe the dubs influenced my current beliefs. I really don't know. Once I was out of the borg, I never gave religion or spirtuality a second thought.

Damage caused by your pets?
by greendawn inafter 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.

My dog Miller, in one day chewed up my New Vikings hoodie, (could have killed him) an expensive cordless headset for my pc and chewed on a corner of my computer tower.
after that day, he never chewed anything else. he was a quick learner since i actually caught him doing it and not after the fact. -

I understand.But are they not judging you? Are you saying that you don't want to get too judgemental with them when they do it to you? Its a very hard thing to go through, having your friends disown you. But again, IMHO if they shun you, what kind of friends are they in the first place.
I don't know though, I am just the kind of person who doesn't offer respect to those who do not respect me. I am not a "turn the other cheek" kind of guy i guess.
I hope the best for your situation though

Welcome to JWD,
The only advice I can give is to keep your kids away from the JWs. And as stilla said, I will leave the rest to someone else. I am sure they can explain it better.
again welcome

I know exactly what your saying. But, I take it your inactive and not da'ed or df'd right? Now would those same kind hearted people have said a single word to you had you been DF'ed or DA'd?
There is my answer. I had some close friends who I might have thought to be REAL friends, but they consider me dead because I smoked? As much as I can relate with what your saying. IMHO F them all.
