  How do you feel now? EVOLUTION OR CREATION??

  by chuckyy in

  as jws we were no doubt staunch creationists.

  but how do you feel now??

  do you still opt for creation or do you now feel evolution offers the right answer.

  I'm leaning towards believing in creative evolution.

  But not necessarily by the God of the Bible. Some other type of creative entities perhaps.

  my family is in a nascent period of adapting to our child's .

  revelation that he is an ftm transgendered person...... above all else he is still just a person...... it is a scary reality that the majority of the world.

  All we can do is fight the ignorance when we find it.

  I have a loved one who is trans but for health reasons cannot make the change from male to female. It is very difficult for him, he is married to a wonderful girl who says she will stay with him even if he makes the change because she loves him for who he is, not whether he is male or female.He is very lucky to have some friends and family who care, so many of these beautiful souls don't have anyone to turn to for understanding.

  Sending much positivity to your family and to your son in particular.

  I've read the first three books in the series. My girls and I went to a book release party at Barnes and Nobles for the fourth and we had a great time. Must have been a thousand books sold just in that one store. Unfortunately I'm third in line to get to read it.

  We're looking forward to the movie in December, though I'm afraid they will have ruined it. Some things are better left to the imagination.

  Just got a phone call...

  my oldest daughter (who is currently up in ct) just called to tell me my stepmother (wicked witch of the west) was in an accident yesterday evening.

  she was riding a moped and crashed it into a parked car (don't ask me what an overweight 53 year old woman with bad knees is doing on a moped but whatever...supposed to save on the cost of gas or something).

  anyway...she shattered her right leg and wrist in the accident (her good walking side) and apparently will never be the same.

  I would send flowers or a gift of some sort with a card and leave it at that for a while. Ask about her when you talk to your Dad so they don't think you're too terrible but don't lose any sleep over her.

  53 is not too old to be riding a moped, but she oughta watch where she's going for crying out loud. But I guess she wont be making that mistake again.

  something always bothered me growing up as a witness.

  we were always taught that people in the "world" couldn't possibly be happy because they didn't have the "truth.

  " this always bothered me.

  My daughters and I celebrate holidays now. We put up a tree the last 2 years and celebrated the other holidays in a more subdued way. Oh, except for Halloween, that we went trick ot treating for the first time last year. It was simply amazing. The people were so friendly and we had a blast- who knew? I had always been taught it wasn't "real fun" HA My daughter is already planning her costume for this year.

  Christmas is my favorite though. My JW husband doesn't say much about the tree, he hates it but he leaves it alone. He goes to visit his family for a few days at the actual holiday, so we don't have him glowering at us on Christmas lol.

  He doesn't seem to mind birthdays too much. He hs helped wrap birthday presents and actually bought a couple toys to put in a gift for our niece's birthday. My lips were zipped- I'm not saying anything if he wants to join in a little.

  Hi Mr Flipper

  I'm a little confused, my husband has been really nice to me ever since he got back from the DC He didn't even force our 13 yeal old daughter to go to the meetings with him this week

  I'm not complaining but usually there is a week or so of hell on earth after an assembly. It hasn't been this quiet in a long time. I guess I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

  Oh and this is supposed to be a secret but my other daughter and her lovely husband told me they are expecting a baby after trying for 2 years. I'm exstatic for them {and me!} They won't mind me telling you all here.
