The Circle resembles a discarded tire. Obviously it isn't but something had to act as a mold to make something that close to being perfectly round. Bug

I have a theory. I think they are afraid of strong intelligent women. You, Blonde, Cruzanheart and you probably know others. After next week we will know rather or not that theory holds water. Bug

The Secret Fault I Tolerated About Blood
by Swan inyes, i tolerated a secret fault concerning blood.
i have never told anyone about it until this day.
now i am telling you.. as i recall, sometime in the 80's (or maybe late 70's) we were told to check our pet's food for animal by-products.

In the part of Texas where we live there are thousands of cattle in feed lots and there is a fairly high death rate among those cattle in the winter. In the past there has been a booming business in dead cows which can be converted into all kinds of products and one of those businesses furnished meat for Alpo. From what I saw at the place I visited they ground up every part of the cow that could be ground and sent it off to be canned for dogs. Yep, it had blood in it.
One of the elders fertilized his grass with a product that had blood in it before reading the label and decided he would never do that again. Just for the record, the stuff worked great on his lawn, it was beautiful. He is still an elder.
Another young couple took their dog to the vet who recommended a transfusion and they decided to put the dog to sleep because of their convictions. Makes you wonder what the dog would say if given a choice, a quick death now or a few more years of life with new blood. Looks as if the dog paid with his life over his owners religious convictions. Incidently, I understand he is a co now.. Go figure.

"Letting" her get baptized ?? I would assume that is what the girl wants, but what are her reasons for this decision? I suspect she is trying to please someone else and that is a poor reason for getting baptized at such a young age.
I had a nephew baptized at the age of 11, df'd at around 20 or 21 and comitted suicide at the age of 29. Catchthis is right-- 30 would be a much better age. Bug

I think you handled this just right Mike. You gave the younger one something to think about without destroying the faith of the elderly lady. Some of the older ones have nothing else to hang onto except their faith in a religion based in New York run by people who live in a commune type situation. Let them live out their lives with their illusions. Bug

Whoa back Corvin. Navigator is a great guy who simply has a different perspective on this matter. His post was not a personal attack on you, he just offered a different opinion. You went way over the top on this one. Wait until you meet the man, then your opinion of his post will, no doubt, change. Bug

Welcome!!! I will be 68 in November, assuming I live a couple of more months, so it's always nice to see someone in my age group posting on ex JW boards. There is a wealth of knowledge here and on other boards so dive in and learn. Best wishes, Bug
