have you ever had a dog that was dumber than a box of rocks?

Sailaway,
Messes up her beautiful curls. I love it. They all have their own little habits that we just love.
At Christmas one year I put a ring with bells on it on the inside of the door knob. This same dog decided instead of barking to go out she would ring the bells. So when Christmas was over this item had to stay.
i was talking to a witness the other day , she was explaining about false religion, and the subject of paedophiles came up .
of course she was adamant that the watchtower deals swiftly and decisively with offenders .
i was about to ask if she was aware of the two witness rule and how that is a let off for child molesters when l remembered reading on here that now they accept two different accusations from two different victims .
Possum,
I have no clue how you could remain silent. Never a JW, I was not sexual abused but suffered from both physical and emotional abuse from my mother. I now protect ALL children I come in contact with from all forms of abuse and have no problems contacting authorities.
I assisted my girlfriend in putting her husband behind bars, he took a plea so he only got 15 years, he was looking at life.
When I finally found out what the JWS was all about I was beyond belief. Read my intro to the forum you might find it interesting. If I come across a MS, Special Pioneer, OH Elder they get an ear full. Go back and read my previous post.
They don't escape this Rebel or Fighter very easily.

Possum,
Never a JW, you did absolutely the right thing!
When you first reported the incident when it happened was the appropriate time for these men appointed by Satin to take action.
Looks like they are "waiting on Jehovah" to clean up this mess they done got themselves into with all these governments and court cases. IMHO, that maybe a mighty long time.

Sailaway,
It was pontoon with an electric motor never went over 10 mph as it turned out she did not even like puddles of water. She did not like bathes. She did not like the rain. Plain and simple she did like anything wet. But she was a sweetheart.
earlier this year it was announced to all congregations that the new silver songbook would ultimately be made of 150 songs, (matching the number of psalms in the bible).
however, they've apparently changed there minds in the last few months, because songs 152-154 were just posted to both jw-org and jw broadcasting.. https://www.jw.org/en/whats-new/.

Never a JW. They need some serious HELP!! Are all their songs written in the same put me to sleep.... and WOW those lyrics.
How about, sorry I have no clue how to link things.
Josh Groban You Lift Me Up
Amazing Grace (yes someone needs to explain why that is taboo to the Witnesses )
Nearer My God to Thee ( I know but I hold the cross very near dear to me and this song has a very special meaning. Tears flow all the time )
Old Rugged Cross
Precious Moments
Footprints in the Sand
I left religion in 2000 (Lutheran) I worship every Sunday for 4 hours listening to the sounds of beautiful voices singing praises to God. When I get the chance I will go to the east coast and watch the sunrise during this time and there is no greater uplifting experience.
just finished a walk today i came onto a happy family group of all the generations celebrating a tiny ones birthday.
they all sang ..happy birthday and i sang with my bass baritone the chorus, .."why was she born so beautiful why was she born at all.." silly words but they are happy words.
the family cheered their pleasure at this outsider joining in.
Happy Birthday

Now if there were a good tech savy person that could somehow replace one of those horrid videos with this at one of the conventions.
Just jam the frequency and let it run! Just saying.

We always had big dogs and had just lost one. I told my kids please let's get a smaller dog this time please. We went this puppy so attached itself to my kids and my son says see mom she is so small mom. Do you see the size of those paws?!?! That will not be a small dog! But mom she is small and soooo cute. She only weighs 25 lbs. She was a blonde lab mix, one of the nicest sweetest dogs we ever owned. She grew up to be 115 lbs. Now labs are supposed to like water. We lived on a lake and had a boat. The first time we took her out on the boat she could not wait to get back to shore. When we got close enough to shore she took a flying leap landed on shore took off running to the deck and sat at the sliding glass door. From that point on she would never leave the deck in the back. If she had to go out for a walk you had to go out the front door and she would not venture near the rear of the property near that lake.

Zeb,
I am sure that was one of the lines which earned me the email "Good bye, have a nice life" from the "Elder".

Gayle,
I agree totally the JW kids are getting robbed of their youth and of the experience of finding their talents. This man is fighting for the youth to allow them this right. I bet he also fights for other students besides JW students if they present a need that is being neglected at home.
I was not a teacher but I spend many hours fighting for not only my children's rights but the rights of other children because I LOVE children and want them to be the best that they can be and achieve their goals with as few limitations as possible.
Here is one example I encountered, both of my children had learning disabilities and I fought for IEPS. Both ended up graduating and going on to college. When my daughter was in elementary school we were at the bus stop and I observed a boy for a few days. I then asked his mom if she would mind if I talked to him and she said that was ok. Very intelligent youngster. Her daughter and mine had become friends so I felt comfortable talking to her and asked why her son seemed to not have any friends and how was he doing in school. Just as I suspected. His grades were total fails, no friends and he was listed as a major behavior problem by all the teachers. I asked if she had asked for an IEP and the response was he is just a behavior problem. I told her tomorrow morning when you bring your kids to the bus stop be dressed to go to the school and you and I will go and ask for that IEP. Well we did and with me next to her because they knew I KNEW the LAWS no problem we will start the testing immediately. We attended the first IEP meeting and these people were all falling all over themselves with the apologies.
He has a form of autism, he is very brilliant but has no social skills and cannot handle being in large groups of people. Test scores are off the charts. Normal classroom freaks him out (behavior issue). Talk to him one on one you would think you were talking to someone at least 5 or 6 years older. No one took the time.
JW kids are being deprived of social interaction with their peer level, education, extra curriculum opportunities that are vital for talent, and these absolutely horrid videos are nothing short of the worst case of emotional abuse. Then they go to the KH and get talks about Armageddon and what the .... right and wrong sex talks. Wait a bloody minute --- excuse me so when the next R rated horror movie comes out let's all take our good JW kids to see it can't be any worse then the KH.
