I remember when my boy was two, I bought him a present I thought he would love, he opened it and spent the entire afternoon playing with the empty box.

Jeb Bush would kill a baby !
by Simon inok, specifically he was talking about hitler.
apparently he was asked whether, if he could go back in time, he would kill him when he was a baby.. and he said "hell yeah !".

Appreciate the spontaneous response.
You reply " I absolutely support the right of women to chose...."
Personally I don't think that's a good politicians answer, and I would question the politicians "rationality" to that answer.

Well with respect Simon, how would you answer, when put on the spot. " should we abort a baby, that will otherwise be born healthy ?"
answer:-
next question:-
( on the spot answer) " A father and mother both conceived a presumed healthy to be baby, does the mother have the right to abort if you the father don't want the presumed healthy to be baby aborted?"
answer:-

Retirement Planning for ex-JW's
by Simon inthis is something i think about a lot, possibly because i'm just getting older.
it seems that not only should i finally one day decide what i want to do with my life, but i should also be planning for retirement.. hands up everyone who feels their future has been royally screwed by the wts experience?.
if you were a good jw and followed the wts advice you could well be finding yourself facing middle or even old age without much or anything put aside in retirement savings.

Take out a 30 year mortgage and pay it off in ten. ( That takes opportunity and discipline, but it's worth it)
Problem solved
Why?
Because every ten years property prices double. Paying double or treble monthly payments on your mortgage when interest rates are low, is mind boggling beneficial, but your bank manager won't tell you that.

Is my friend on the way out of the organisation?
by The Rebel inwhen i left the watchtower i realised it was best to put friendships on hold.
however i mentioned to my best friend that i didn't agree with how they handled child abuse issues and that was one of the reasons i left.. anyway as i am fortunate and own two rental apartments and he is a plumber so we have kept in contact, in that i email him when i require his services and he sends me the invoice.
anyway i am now dissociated, but yesterday i emailed him about a pluming problem, and he replied.. " sorry we missed going to the indian ( this was a comment made about us having a meal together about 9 months ago, which i backed out of because i felt he was too indoctrinated and i had not disassociated myself) anyway his email continued:-.

Well I received a long email back, mentioning his wife and children are pioneers, and concluding " I am being totally honest and frank in the above, and because of this I appreciate that it is kept between us"
I will reply my in-box is always open.
But I won't judge, I am sure he will do what he thinks is right.

Hi Faye. " Rebel, how did you find out?"
I answered his question by email, and made an additional comment that was raised on here, and he simply didn't reply.

On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post
by StarTrekAngel ini am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.
i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.
it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

Oh Viviane...When I said some posters must write from the heart, i actually meant posters should be allowed to express themselfs without the fear of those words being held up to the light and ridiculed with a different context to that in which they were written.
Anyway, it's,Friday evening that time of night me and my boy play football. so have a great evening Viv, and please no fighting with other posters unless absolutely necessary.
