Wow !!!!!!!!! Looks as if you finally got your point across and your mother has agreed to tolerate your position. Congratulations !! Your mother is obviously a sincere person who believes the stuff the WTS is putting out in the Watchtower. Now that she knows she has to take you as you are or not at all, things should be much better for you. Honey, you done good. Bug

Ozzie, I once read a column by a fellow who said women should not be allowed to vote or drive a vehicle. Can we add "or own a computer"?
Before you ladies come down on my poor head, I am joking !!!

"Are these the beans that make me trump?"
by Simon in(trump = fart ).
our youngest, 5, can be fussy about what he eats and he was playing up before dinner.. it looked like he wasn't going to eat the fish-fingers, chips and beans until he suddenly asked "are these the beans that make me trump?"..
when we assured him that they were then he wolfed them down (after a quick "yeahs!")..

If you have trouble getting him to eat his veggies you might try telling him they cause trumping also.

Should Saddam Be Executed If Found Guilty?
by Englishman inthere is only so far you can go in inflicting just punishment upon an evil person.
yet how evil is someone who has murdered one person in cold blood, compared to someone who is guilty of genocide?
the crime of murder is heinous in itself, but does the fact that someone may be responsible for millions of deaths make the crime of multiple murder a million times worse than the person who kills only once?

It's called "INSURANCE"
"INSURING" that he NEVER gets the chance to commit genocide EVER AGAIN
Maya, I suspect there are a lot of people in Iraq, Iran, and other places that want vengence, badly. But I agree with the part of your post quoted above, and the only way to insure he never gets another chance is to execute him.

Before you meet her it might be useful to go back to your previous posts on this subject as you received a lot of good advice. Just remember, you are an adult who has a mind of her own. If your Mothers happiness rests on what you think, then she is the one with the problem. Hope that didn't come across a too harsh but it is the way I feel. bug

My Brother Begged Me To Come Back To Jehovah & His Organization!!!
by minimus ini recieved a 7 page "note" from my brother and his wife pleading with me to come back to jehovah god and his organization.
he said the devil was after me and my family and that the results will be disastrous unless i come back to "jehovah's protective custody".
also, it was strongly implied that unless my family went back to meetings and went out in field service, most jws, including family members would not attend my daughter's wedding and reception.my wife, daughter and i have been overtaken by the devil, according to him.

I would be pissed if anyone dissed my brother the way these posters do.
Again, SOJ has picked out one little side issue to blab about and ignores the reall issue of the thread. Well, he's good for a laugh. Bug

Former Bethelite comes out and shares story
by Dogpatch ini was always a shy kid that desperately wanted to make my parents proud.
at about this same time i started to hang out with some guys that my dad didn?t particularly approve of.
i wonder how my life would have turned out had i stopped at any point between ages 14 and 19 and asked myself who exactly i was doing all this for.
