i am in the process of getting a small business/hobby going and am almost finished.
intially from startup i included an inlaw in the process and needless to say things have been "rocky".
i have pretty much funded this entire thing, spent untold hours coding, getting artistic renditions for logos, working with suppliers, contracting out work, etc.
I think you're finding out why people say "never go into business with family or friends".
If I wewre you, I wouldn't put time and effort into making it work. I'd find a tactful way to step back from this arrangement while you still have a reasonable relationship with your in-law.
At the end of the day, family relationships are worth much more than a business relationship, and it's better to save the first and lose the second than the other way round.
And yes, I do speak from experience!
i discovered the website for these when googling online contacts.. they are made by the inventor of disposable dailies.
he is on a mission to make them available at a realistic price that reflects the cheapness of making them.
this saving has not been passed on to the customer by the likes of johnson and johnson, allergan, bausch and lomb.. i was paying three times the price for true eye and acu vue.
This isn't a sponsored thread, is it?
first time poster.
i guess this makes me the scary a word.
arent apostates jealous?
Hi NC, I found your posts interesting before, but I've been reading through the whole of this thread and now I'm really identifying with you.
You see, I am kind of where you were both at the beginning and now. I'm experiencing cognitive dissonance over and over again, and prehistory is one of them, because archaeology, paleantology, geology,....any old ology really, all fascinate me, and I've asked the same questions, though not specifically about hunting mammoths.
However, I'm at the stage of working through those questions before making any commitment.
I still think what I thought at the beginning about the Bible. That it is inspired, but written by men. In essence and spirituality, true, in occasional detail, not to be taken literally.
Because, for a start, Moses wasn't exactly there recording it all in the Garden of Eden, was he? And did his poor old rheumatic fingers really write the Pentateuch all down in those long wilderness nights? I somehow doubt it.
But still...there is so much that, upon research and rigorous investigation rings true and stands up to analysis.
So mine is an ongoing story...
i was recently born again and thus am anointed because of this i have come to realize that though there are sincere people who are jw, some teachings are fine but the wt organization is a fraud.
here is my story sorry if it's a bit long but i need to tell it.. 16 years ago today i was baptized as one of jw's.
i was 17 years old the only one in my family.
One cannot be born again unless they confess that Jesus is Lord God/YHWH (Rom. 10:9-10).
Godrulz, you sound like part of the WT, pontificating who can and who can't be born again/saved. It's as though you have a personal hotline to the Almighty, and you've been given a licence to admit to Heaven or send down to Hell?
Are you St Peter in disguise?
Sorry, but can't you see why you put people's backs up?
fans of battlestar galactica may know that those two words are used a lot in the series.. how did they get away with it when it so obviously just another word for f**k?.
it's also used a lot on this forum but that's another topic..
Wonderful fractals.
I am fascinated by fractals in nature. And I just love the fractal vegetable romanesco.
There's a picture here.

Tastes good and is good for you too...and totally, perfectly fractal.
this song just came on the radio and i remember listening to it when i was a jw.
it's funny how i agreed with the song and how it critized other religions and i totally missed the part where it includes jehovah witness too, lol.
just went over my head.. it's in spanish, sorry, but i also pasted the translation.. .
That's really good, even beautiful at times.
cant seem to contact dear yknot.
does anyone else want to host some 2011 dc outlines.
cheers.
I've been trying to contact Yknot too. No luck.
ok, quick run down of my situation.. .
1. i am not religious.
my now-fiance was raised jw but left the religion about 10 years ago.. 2. we started dating last march, i got pregnant within two weeks.
Hello JuneBug, I'm not a JW but I am an unbaptised publisher, still "studying".Not a JW background.
I'm also a mother. I think it would be very, vary hard to fiind that my instinct to care for my children and bring them up in the way I thought best was challenged.
This thread has made me think a great deal.
my brother who attends meetings was at the hall when they were explaining the "generation" new lite.. he said he was stunned when a rumble went through the congo which he said sounded like "oh here we go again" and then laughing.. the brother sittig next to him said 'what next" and after the meeting a lot of people were mad that instead of leaving what they do not know they re-invented it.. elders were being surrounded by people asking them to explain it.. this happened a few weeks ago but there is also alot of anger at the "mentally diseased " comment made by the gb as people view it as an outright attack on family members.
i think i smell trouble.. he is not one who shuns and told the elders that until they show him where jesus said shun then he will continue to talk to me.. one elder told him that if he persists in talking to me then he could be brought before a committe to which he told him "it would be your funeral".
so me thinks they are truly in a panic!.
On the other hand, here in the UK numbers are growing and everyone seems totally ok with the FDS. Everything is accepted.
I'll only say it's in the south west.

As I read that story, I was humming "Here's to you, Mrs Robinson"....
The Graduate was a great film.
