What animals do you have ? I do have another take on this.Giving them to a good home is sadly no guarantee that they will actually be in a "good home".As weird as it might sound, their currently limited environment, may very well be preferable to them being with someone else as they begin to view YOU as a companion as much as you view them in that way.I have a client that puts the dogs in the cage before she leaves and they just get used to it.They go to sleep and seem fine and well adjusted.On the other hand when a pet is given away to someone else they also get depressed and emotional when they're no longer with their owner.Perhaps you're more upset than they are ? Maybe you can make some adjustments to your schedule to be home more ?

A Personal Delimma
by dwtnphotog inso, our circumstances are changing somewhat; a few personal things here and there and a few business things, nothing traumatic.
except this, our time is becoming more and more limited.
we are home less and less.

I think the Mormon's are considerably more mainstream and open minded that JW's.For instance, they celebrate holidays, birthdays, etc, get involved in politics, enter the military, encourage education-they have their own University,accept blood,have succesful careers, etc.Some have even been on Survivor.

Is "Adamic sin"confined to humankind?
by changeling ini seem to recall that that is the wt's stand.
well, if that's the case:.
other than the damage humans have caused to the environment, what's up with animals with disease and birth defects, plant diseases and weather related catastrophes?.

I made some comments that involved this some time back, I'll paste them here:
Obviously, mankind, both as a society and as individuals, just doesn't seem to have what it takes to please God.The first man ever made , Adam, "screwed up", so he killed him..The first woman ever, "screwed up", so he killed her..One of the top angels (and his buddies)screwed up, so he's gonna kill all of them.The preflood descendants of Adam screwed up, so he killed them....and kicked in the innocent animals as a bonus. God's chosen people screwed up, so he killed them.The world today is in opposition to God as well, so he's gonna kill all of us.Does this guy create anything he doesn't get pissed off at and kill ? Might I put a note in the suggestion box to stop making stuff that screws up so you don't have to kill it ? Or how about just not acting like a dick and having impossible standards ? Which brings us back to the original thread about being judged unfairly.
Really, it looks like God plain ol' just doesn't care.His word says he's "opening his hand and satisfying the desire of every living thing" yet, that's obviously not the case.And if all of God's work is perfect and good,then that means that since they didn't sin, he must have made them that way.He made them so that they get cancer, go blind,starve,get painful loathsome diseases and otherwise suffer.Sounds like a really great guy.
Oh...and while we're at it.He told Adam and Eve they would die.But he let them live, condemned their children to death and as a bonus he gave all future women greatly increased birth pain and decided to curse the ground just for the hell of it.Doesn't sound like such a happy god after all.

If one doubts their callousness toward human life, see Chapter 7 [THE FOUR PRESIDENTS, E.C. Gruss], where a young missionary is sent to her death by Knorr,
I'm unfamiliar with the book and this account, what exactly happened ?

Why I will NEVER be an elder again
by stillajwexelder inso the po confirmed what many on this board already know.
at latest round of co to elders meeting, the co quoted from the society outline.
any elder or ms who encourages college for his kids or others or who allows his children to go to college will no longer qualify.. he then asked if i was going to take the cos encouragement and reach out again to be an elder and get my hours on the ministry up.. i replied "i will never be an elder again - i strongly approve of further education and college and have been through college myself.

BreakingAway, to be fair, I called names too. Specifically, I used the words moron, idiot, and raving lunacy, which would imply he was a raving lunatic. These are exagerations on my part. -dp
Okay then, play nice you two !

Dannyboy does not read what is posted. Dannyboy makes no sense. Dannyboy likes calling people names while he makes no sense
Hmmmm..... since his name is daniel-p, it seems the one doing the name calling is you.I understand, or at least I think I have an idea, of your point Vinny.You want to play the "I'm really objective" card.Fine.But the Society's stance on this issue is not as benign as you would make it out to be and you often seem far more skeptical of those here than of a CULT that chews people up and spits them out; so how about pulling back on the condescending aggressiveness and stop beating people about the head and shoulders that don't agree with you.It's wearing thin.
