  I recently saw a special on TV concerning law inforcement and weed.

  Seems some people (many times illegals) grow it on public lands, such as in National Parks or National Forests. They cut down much of the vegetation nearby, as they want more room for the plants. They then poison the water nearby to kill any animals that might want to eat the plants. They also set booby traps to kill anyone such as law enforcement agents or hikers who might get near the plants.

  They then make a great deal of money in this country selling illegal drugs to anyone-children included. Some of these children will advance to other drugs.

  Many innocent people are being killed by those who make their living this way in Mexico. The violence is of course spilling over into Texas, where I live.

  Why would anyone want to support their efforts? If they had no customers, their business would dry up.

  after all these years, the two of them are still 'in' and i have been 'out' over 25 years.

  neither of them could ever get along and i always played mediator.

  they fight and disagree on everything!

  It is sad, really. Are you so willing to be a tool? Someone used for gratification? He will not utter your name in public, and would refuse to acknowledge you if he saw you on the street.

  What would you tell his children if he has any and they find out? You could look back on this as a very big regret in your life.

  I hope you re-think this and feel too much pride in yourself to be treated in this fashion.

  That is awesome! Why would anyone want to get rid of a demon who did housework?

  My thoughts exactly!!!

  Maybe it did an "ungodly job" of vacuuming!

  A daugther's purity

  a young lady i know is touting on facebook about her 12 year old daughter's purity.

  the daughter just took a purity promise at her church yesterday and i find that i'm slightly uncomfortable with the idea.

  i know the child just started her period because her mother announced it to me and the child announced it to a whole park a couple of weeks ago .

  I hope she's able to follow through, simply because I feel that young women are precious and should not be "used" as sex objects by boys.

  However, I hope that the parents aren't pressuring her so much that if she fall from this pedastal, she fears they won't be there for her.

  Well now this woman is telling me she is having a garage sale.

  I am so sorry.

  Unfortunately, I think that you should be early at the garage sale, with money in hand, if there is anything that you want that belonged to your dad.

  After that, I wouldn't call her anything. According to the headstone, I don't think she sees you as fitting in anywhere.

  I am sure that you can keep the memories of your father alive, without thinking of her anymore.

  I continue to be amazed.

  Perhaps at the summer convention, they just weren't clear enough on the df issue. How do some just "not get it?"

  Does this man truly believe that it is not true that disfellowshipping equals shunning? Then what is it?

  I wonder what his explanation of being disfellowshipped is? Or how to treat a df'd person according to the WTS?

  At any rate, what you said will always be in the back of the mind of these two.

  Good job.

  it's been an ongoing issue with my mother and me.

  the house is very large and it needs 2 people to clean up the area.

  she usually picks times when i'm not around to clean up the place to clean up and i pick times that are convienent for me (saturdays and sundays) to do the same.

  I don't know how you were raised, but the thing of it is, you obviously recognize filth and dirt. Why would you ask your girlfriend to help you clean? Did she make the mess?

  Take some responsibility for your surroundings, and some pride. Have a place for all your things, and keep them there.

  Just start small in cleaning. Take one room....perhaps the bathroom. Throw out all trash. take rugs out, wash them, hang outside to dry. Dryers will take the backing off. Take everything off the counter. Scrub with cleanser, then rinse. Or use a spray cleaner and paper towels. Clean the outside of the commode with the spray cleanser, the inside with toilet bowl cleaner. Mop the floor. Put the dry rugs back. Wipe off all counter items and put them back.

  There....looks better already.

  Get to the next room.

  You can do it.

  hey folks.

  this is my first post, and i figured i might as well tell my story and state why i'm here.. i'm the offspring of a elder and ex-pioneer.

  being so raised, i was very serious about the truth as a youngster.

  Welcome to the forum.

  My dad was in the Marines for twenty-three years. He looked great in dress blues and was in the color guard. He was proud and brave.

  I wish you the best!
