I got him from the pound a year and a half ago. As all dogs available there are, he was neutered when I got him. As I posted earlier, I caught him mating with a neighborhood Pomeranian a week or so ago. Well, last night she came over for another visit, but I stopped them before the act. It is rare, but some neutered males still can function like that.

It is winter here, and cold at times. My mother wants to make sure he doesn't get cold, so she insists on putting her old dogs sweater on him. He hates it, as it is not very manly. This picture cracks me up. I thought you guys and gals might enjoy it.

In a funeral... or when the JWs want to show they're different

by hijosdelawatch in

a couple of days ago i went to the funeral of an old age brother in his 80s.. well, that was the typical jw funeral although his daughter and the rest of his family are not witnesses.

as you know the brothers don't wear black clothes nor they show lot of sadness as a "prove" they believe in resurrection.. the problem this time is some of them went too far.

two sisters had red clothing and at the entrance a group of brothers were literally laughing.

FUNERAL DISCOURSE

REMARKS REGARDING THE DECEASED (Use any that apply and are appropriate.)

Details regarding age, birth, when married, and so forth

By whom the deceased is survived

Dedication record, including privileges of service

Exemplary qualities displayed by the deceased (Eccl. 7:1)

THE HOPE THE DECEASED ENTERTAINED

Worshiped Jehovah, the God of wisdom, justice, love, power

Had faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12)

Appreciated God's purpose regarding earth (Gen. 1:28)

Sure to be realized (Isa. 11:9; 55:10, 11; Rev. 21:4)

Why good people die

Disobedience of Adam (-Gen. 3:19; contrast with Genesis 2:7.)

Offspring inherited death (Rom. 5:12)

Condition of the dead

Soul is mortal (Ezek 18:4, 20)

Dead are unconscious (Ps. 146:4; Eccl. 3:19; 9:5, 10)

The resurrection hope

Made possible by sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Matt. 20:28)

Christ's resurrection a guarantee (1 Cor. 15:22, 23)

God uses Jesus to raise the dead (John 5:28, 29)

For the anointed, resurrection is to heavenly life (1 Cor. 15:51-54; Rev. 20:4, 6)"Other sheep"

resurrected to life in earthly Paradise (Luke 23:43; John 10:16)Armageddon survivors can

hope to see the deceased one again soon

Others too are in line for resurrection (Acts 24:15)

WHY IT IS GOOD TO GO TO HOUSE OF MOURNING

Can comfort the bereaved; loss is mutual

Take to heart uncertainty of life (Ps. 90:12; Eccl. 7:2) Makes us think about how we are using our life

HOW WE CAN BENEFIT FROM BEING HERE

While living, make good name with Jehovah God (Eccl. 7:1)

Lay up treasures in heaven (Matt. 6:19-21)

One way is to take zealous part in witness work, if qualified (Matt. 24:14; 28:19, 20)

In this way and by godly conduct, we contribute to sanctification of Jehovah's name (Prov.

27:11)

Resurrection hope an incentive to learn and do divine will(l Cor. 15:58)

(Note: Instead of eulogizing the deceased, use the material in this outline to give a

fine witness concerning the truth. Good balance should be observed in this regard.

Doctrinal points can be presented as beliefs of the deceased, which served as

motivation for him. Purpose of talk is to uphold Jehovah God as a God of love and

mercy and at the same time bring comfort to the bereaved. Use of a song such as No. 102

(53) or 187 (93) is optional. A brief prayer at the close is fitting. When arrangement is

made to go to the grave, it is well to consider quite briefly the hope through the

Kingdom, reading one or two scriptures, such as Job 14:14, 15 and 1 Corinthians 15:5413-

57. This service may also be closed with prayer, thanking Jehovah for the resurrection hope,

which is of great comfort. The talk need not exceed 30 minutes.)

Tebow: "What part of Matt 6 do you not understand?" (go to your room!!!!)

by FatFreek 2005 in

this from my issue of time that arrived today: "'when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father, who is unseen.

' this passage from the gospel of matthew was quoted by many readers who object to tim tebow's showy displays of his faith on the football field ... " "hey tebowers," wrote bill de armond of winfikeld, kans.

"what part of matthew 6:5-8 do you not understand?".

JRK

There is no Tebowing in Muddville, Mighty Tebow has struck out.

Little Jesus got crucified tonight.

in the immortal words of fz, some things haven't changed.. i used to have a job.

depression came along.

JRK

In the immortal words of FZ, some things haven't changed.

I used to have a job
An' I was doin' fairly well
Depression came along
An' everybody start to yell
"Where'd they go, them good ol' days,
An' all that crap we used to sell?"
Now I'm in Hot-Plate Heaven,
at the Green Hotel

Republicans is fine,
If you're a multi-millionaire
Democrats is fair,
If all you own is what you wear
Neither of 'em's REALLY right,
'Cause neither of 'em CARE
'Bout that Hot-Plate Heaven,
'Cause they ain't been there

They really oughta go
'N find out how the hall-way smell --
They'd benefit to know
'Bout what the bums in there could tell
(I guess we're only dreamin',
But I s'pose it's just as well
That's ALL you get to dream
Up in the Green Hotel)

Nature didn't put me here,
An' neither did my fate --
It musta been some evil ol'
Republican candidate!
He's over there in Washington,
But I wish he was in HELL
'Cause I'm in Hot-Plate Heaven
At the Green Hotel
Things is slightly better now;
They hope we will forget
The misery of 'TRICKLE DOWN',
An' jelly-bean etiquette
The Regal Presidential Style
Has simply not worn well,
But neither has my rags,
Up in the Green Hotel

I said the Green Hotel
I mean the Green Hotel
Been there once
The Green Hotel
We're goin' again
The Green Hotel
Neither has my rags,
Up in the Green Hotel
Hey, pass me the dog-food!

Do You Consider yourself an Atheist / Agnostic / or Christian? Reasons ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

after having been raised in the jehovah's witnesses for 44 years ( getting out 6 years ago ) i have now come to peace with my view of what i personally feel about the existence of god , or no god, or whatever is flying around up there in outer space.

i am basically agnostic for sure / perhaps leaning atheist and i've come to that decision based on the years and years of unfulfilled false promises of being in a mind control cult ( jehovah's witnesses ) claiming to represent an alleged " god " or " jehovah " saying there would be a paradise, and armageddon to destroy 99% of the earths population.

also- i enjoy helping others without thought of being rewarded for it.

JRK

I am an apathist. I don't give a shit about religion or God.

Life's Good

life's like a mayonnaise soda .

JRK

Life's like a mayonnaise soda
And life's like space without room
And life's like bacon and ice cream
That's what life's like without you

Life's like forever becoming
But life's forever dealing in hurt
Now life's like death without living
That's what life's like without you

Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony
I see you in my mind's eye strangling on your tongue
What good is knowing such devotion
I've been around - I know what makes things run

What good is seeing eye chocolate
What good's a computerized nose
And what good was cancer in April
Why no good - no good at all

What good's a war without killing
What good is rain that falls up
What good's a disease that won't hurt you
Why no good, I guess, no good at all

What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking
It must be better not to be thinking at all
A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete
No not much, not much at all

What's good is life without living
What good's this lion that barks
You loved a life others throw away nightly
It's not fair, not fair at all

What's good ?
Not much at all

What's good ?
Life's good -
But not fair at all
