I was on the site and saw the advert below in the sidebar! One of our members, Dubstepped, runs this Facebook Group which looks like a fantastic resource. What a refreshing change to those who have sought to profit from Witness leavers. I'll post the link because I think it's important to point out these resources when we can!

Good grief his son in law is a billionaire!!! Those girls would be nothing without their Dad, whatever their present relationship.
Time and again sports scientist studies have shown the difference between a good sportsmen and a great one is parental support during childhood. Parents often spend every waking moment to ensure the success of their young prodigy (or gies, in his case!)

Nathan that wouldn't be sung anywhere nowadays it's so un-PC. Although it pretty much applies to more and more of the male population ๐

Am I being unreasonable in this ?
by smiddy3 inhi friend`s ,i have my son and dil living with us ,which has been ok,overall ,quite a few years now ,however ,a few months ago they decided they wanted a dog ok ?
we had one a toy poodle for about 16-17 years and i just loved her as did my wife.. a few months ago my son wanted a dog and got a french bulldog as a pup ,which was ok by us .. however to cut a long story short, yesterday i was out in the back yard and the dog lunged at me and started attacking me in such a way as i can only describe as being frenetic in his attack ,in trying to ward off his attack and getting away from him i fell over and i believe if my son hadn`t finlly restrained him he would have mauled me .
i am 83 years old and my wife has just turned 80. and i dont want that to happen to her .. i don`t know the dog is what 4-5-6 months old i`m not sure , and been living with us all this time ,however i`m going to tell them to get that dog out of my house by the week and and a half or i will one way or another .. i am not going to tolerate that in my household and if he don`t like it he can go also .. i`m not being unreasonable am i ?

Smiddy A lot of these "fashionable" dogs are not raised by proper breeders. There are rules (not strict enough in my opinion) about related-ness (if that's a word) to prevent in breeding. A lot of pups also come from animals with poor temperaments who should never be bred from.
Sounds like your son has got himself one of these as frenchies are super fashionable now.
I was told by Battersea dogs home no less that a dog that attacks once is almost certain to do so again. Your son should have offered immediately to get it re homed and not put you in this position. It's still young he'll have no problem finding a more suitable home. But he'll loose his money because he absolutely must NOT re sell it, but give it to someone who knows what they are doing in attempting to re train it and find it a suitable home. Perhaps a single adult or young couple ( definitely no kids!!!) That person can then decide if the dog is too unsafe for anyone. It's should also be neutered.

NBD doctrinally not at odds with pretty much any denomination even JWs. Yet because it's from so called BtG it's off limits.
Good point Neat Blue Dog
There's quite a lot of hymns that weren't written specifically for Christmas, although they may be used then. Or for any specific denomination. Many are taken from old spiritual (US) or folk traditional, and you couldn't get more humble and non-Babylon-ish than that....old slaves in their hut or serfs in their hovels, praying for deliverance. Makes me feel quite emotional, actually thinking of their suffering. Modern JWs couldn't conceive of that 'persecution'.

Why pay all of that for Broadcasting rebuttals when any exjw can watch a broadcast and do it in their own head.
Watchtower in focus was only ever interesting because of the input by Kim, Mark and guests.
Faith versus faith I have zero interest in and others such as Derek on Mythvision do it so much better.
As for interviews I prefer Dubstepped doing his "Shunned podcast" in-depth, genuinely considerate interviews.
As to everything else Wally, Mike and Kim, Wendy renay, Goatlike, Jexit, Borean Pickets, ChristyAnn, Jake, David and Vivian....(well I could go on and on) are all far more interesting and entertaining.
I'm also happy to donate or buy a coffee in thanks to genuine folks...but not to support someone to harass, cancel and drive others away.

The Holy Spirit
by Leolaia inthis was posted originally in the rodney dangerfield thread......
i don't really know much about the trinity other than what i was told as a jw but it does seem to me that the holy ghost is definitely running a distant third in the popularity contest.
when jws get into arguments with trinitarians, it's almost always about whether jesus is god, isn't it?
