So sorry for your loss. It is devasting to lose a pet. The way I get through it is by enjoying the memories of a life well lived and the fact that there's now room for another animal that desperately needs a home and human companionship.

R.I.P." Daisy"
by smiddy inyesterday we had to make the decision to put our cat down as her health had deteriated so much in the last few months ,and especially in the last week.
many of you will know it is such a traumatic experience to go through and very painfull emotionally .. i had never considered myself a cat person , we rented a house ,double story with an outside balcony and next door had what i would describe as an umberella ?
tree ,where a cat sat, and looked over at us at the second level.. it started hanging around the front door and i said dont feed it as it will never go away.

Young people growing up as Jehovah's Witnesses
by socstu init's been a while since i've posted on here, but the last time i did i was looking for young people to take part in my dissertation research.
well that was a whole year ago now and i can tell you i was very happy and relieved to have received a first class on the paper.. i've subsequently just wrote a blog post on the topic.
it's not a copy of my dissertation, but more of a musing which is very much informed by all my interviews.. anyway i hope you find it somewhat interesting:.

My latest university experience...
by Billy the Ex-Bethelite inthis isn't a jw experience, but for those of you that have been following my life, i thought i'd have a drink and share this strange event in my post-jw life.. for you wonderful newbies, you can catch up on highlights of my story in the few threads i've started here.
i'm finishing the junior year of my engineering degree and the classes are hard as hell.
i used to be among the smartest students in the room until i hit the 300 level university courses.

Billy, I've heard from several people who have worked technical jobs like engineering that theoretical applications from the classroom do not match practical applications in the field. That's probably why your professor chose you to be his research assistant. While your brainiac classmate has a head for book learning, you have real world experience. The professor probably also realizes that your experience may be getting in the way of learning from books. In the end, you'll have a much stronger grasp on the knowledge it takes to be in the engineering field.

I also posted the link on my FB page and will be completing the volunteer questionaire in the next day or so.
The Quiet One, I have spoken to countless ex and exiting jws by phone. I warn them that I have caller ID and to block their numbers. Most of them haven't done so. And if they don't want me to keep their numbers, I delete them from the caller ID.
Here is an article on how callers can block their numbers when calling toll free numbers. http://www.ehow.com/how_8088596_block-number-calling-toll.html

I cried buckets of tears while watching this video! I left almost 25 years ago, and I was totally alone with no one to talk to. Operations like this will make it easier for jws to leave the organization. Not taking anything awa from JWN, mind you! But to have faces to match names is extraordinary.

The saddest thing is that the mother continues to feel affection for her daughter's rapist. That is something I will never understand.

SONG: Could I Live With This?
by abilenetexas inone of my favorite songwriters is chip taylor, jon voight's younger brother who is best known for writing the songs wild thing and angel of the morning.
chip wrote a gorgeous song called could i live with this which, i feel, epitomizes the whole group-think dilemma faced by jws.
i have printed the lyrics below, and shared a youtube link to a performance of the song by chip and lucinda williams.
