I'm going to say this one more time for those at the back (Lloyd).

I have no interest in how you handle your marriage. Whatsoever.

What I will not and cannot accept is your utterly tone-deaf inability to understand that a man who to claims to advocate for child victims of sexual abuse and female victims of domestic & sexual abuse, should find no conflict of interest in using some of the most vulnerable, trafficked or coerced young women in third world countries for their sexual gratification.

Inside or outside of marriage.

I don't know many "former members" who would attend a Kingdom Hall on Christmas day.

I wouldn't rely on this "former members" thing. I can just imagine the elders being told to tell that to the press if one was DF and the other hadn't been for a few months, even.

what a refreshing change to those who have sought to profit from witness leavers.

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 😂

Am I being unreasonable in this ?

by smiddy3 in

hi 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'.
