  i'll get to the battery part.

  animals as pets weren't always a feature among humans.

  SS - I'm glad you have a cat. My lil tiger is named Beaster and he is beating the odds. Over half a year ago I had his grave dug and the date set to put him down. We went in to say our good byes and there he was, jumping up on the counter and being himself. All he was given was fluids to hold him the night. He has feline lukemia, but you wouldn't know it. He's been with me for over a decade and is very much my guardian angel. At night he gets as close to my face as I'll let him - then reaches his paws up for me to hold, and we fall asleep that way.

  I don't have anyone to turn to in my area either - so I am extremely thankful for my two dogs and two cats. Each of them has taught me a great deal.

  What's your kitty's name?

  hugs, Mimilly

  I think the fact that Bethany stated that she was fighting for the rights of teenagers to choose what happens to them and many times talked about being a citizen of Canada (patriotic)proves that she wasn't mature enough to refuse blood on a religious basis. In her final statements - she was acting like any other teenager - arguing for rights for teens. She did not go to her death saying it was a religious conviction. Those were words obviously put in her young mouth. Has anyone else noticed this?

  I am still angry that the father was kept from seeing his daughter one very last precious time, but I hope the family can find some kind of peace. And I hope the case sinks the WTS like a millstone.

  I agree that pets are therepeutic. But you're wrong on the 'witches' being ahead of the curve. Egyptians actually worshipped cats. Not sure here, but I think the cats were believed to be part of/messengers from the netherworld - death.

  I've personally got two dogs and two cats sharing my home. My big guy, Diego, is pictured under my nick. I don't know what I would've done without these great fuzzies around me. Dogs are excellent at giving unconditional love, as are 'some' cats.

  The pets we normally take into our homes are social critters. Dogs have a structured heirarchy in the pack - from Alpha to Omega. So when we adopt the critter, we become the new pack, and how we act is how they will view our position in the pack. Since we feed them, teach them, we become the Alpha - or leader, and they'll always (try to) treat the leader with respect. Some in the family will be playmates. One of my dogs will play with my daughter, but won't play in the same manner with me. (to my sadness)

  Science aside - I will never be without a dog. You can talk to them and they 'act' interested. They're full of affection and love to snuggle. (they're also warm and fuzzy)

  We have alot to learn from these so called 'lower' creatures. And their expressions and antics always allow for a great floor show - free of charge!

  IF YOU COULD TELL A JW OFF, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  after reading all the sad stories of how some here have been abused in a multitude of ways, if you had the opportunity now, would you speak up?

  if you tended to be shy or insecure, would you want to speak out now, if you could?

  Dishonourable to NOT attack terrorism - NYFD

  by Celtic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my opinion on america's war on terrorism is changing these past few days or so, so much so, that now i would see it as negating our responsibilities if we did not act against terrorism at it's root.

  considering the 9/11 attacks just for now.

  here we have, within a very small comparatively speaking, airliner, - with completely opposing polarities of thought dimension on board, (love and hate).

  A terrorist cannot be rehabilitated. I AM a peaceful person, yet I want the terrorists killed. They have no respect for life or rights - even of their own religion and people.

  We owe it to the up and coming generations to stop them, period.
