  How are you going to stop a dog from peeing on the mailbox post? Don't think so, especially if it is a dog just running around the neighborhood, which is not supposed to happen around here because of the leash laws, but does happen all the time.

  If I was walking my dog, I would not let her pee on a mailbox post, but our street is really the only one in this area that has mailboxes out by the street, and there are only 4 houses on this street. The rest of the streets around have have the mailboxes on the side of the house.

  Actually I never thought about this before, so if we had been walking along and she started to pee on a mailbox post I might not have worried about it because I figured it was somewhere a lot of other dogs had peed, so what's the difference. It's not like they could pee on the mailbox itself.

  How about .............

  You cannot have a tubal ligation or a vasectomy.

  You cannot raise tobacco.

  You cannot do some type of work in a hospital, etc. in lieu of military service. In fact, where does the Bible say you cannot serve in the military?

  At one time, they said you could not work for a company that produced ammunition that was sold for war effort.

  No R rated movies -- and PG are questionable (CO Michael Emilio said PG stood for "pure garbage")

  You cannot buy Girl Scout cookes or contribute to any charity that is run by a religious organization.

  You cannot allow your children to be in Girl Scouts, Brownies, Boy Scouts, or Cub Scouts.

  Ya know what - don't even worry about the reason for her inexcusable behavior. It's not even worth thinking about. Just move on and do not contact her again, and ignore or rebuff any attempts on her part to contact you.

  As far as "Ladies, explain your behavior", a lady would not behave in this way. I certainly would not, nor would most women including those on JWD. You just dodged a bullet.

  What did you not do because of attending the Tuesday night group?

  as a loyal witness i would never have done anything on a tuesday night except attend the group study.. when i was at school it was a definate no to after school activities on a tuesday (though it was much the same for other nights of the week as well).

  then i would never go to any night classes on a tuesday, which somewhat limits access to higher education.

  never stayed in to watch tv no matter what was on..

  Actually Tuesday night was the Ministry School and Service Meeting because we had two congregations meeting at the same KH.

  I once wanted to take my puppy to obedience classes, but the only one available was on Tuesday night so I did not. Wish I could do it over and take my dog.

  Definitely there are some people who are helped by it. I totally agree with that. I feel that my mother is one who was helped. She had a violent schizophrenic father and an alcoholic adulterous mother. Her brothers and sisters were all alcoholic but one, who died at an early age of cervical cancer. My mother needed something to help her escape from what would very likely have been a very bad, probably alcoholic life. To convince her that the religion is wrong, especially at the age of 77, would take away something that has been of benefit and joy to her and would probably make her feel totally hopeless.

  The Watchtower does great damage to families and i think there are those who need to be helped out of it, but not everyone.

  I did not vote for Obama and preferred to see McCain get the office, but I truly do not believe Rod Blagovich's arrest reflects in any way on Obama. Good ole' Rod is a Democratic machine politician born and bred, spawn of Chicago unions. I read that he did not want to appoint who Obama wanted because that person would not be willing to pay for the position.

  Now that Obama is in office, I do support him wholeheartedly. My biggest issue with him was gun control.
