  I think a lot of JWs believe they'll receive some sort of message or instruction to go to the Kingdom Hall or Assembly Hall, and that's how they'll be safe. I used to believe that. Funnily enough, I was dead set on bringing my dog with me, and if the elders didn't like it, me AND my dog were going outside.

  Hee-hee! Nice zip! I could have used one for all my various surgeries.

  In explanation, when I lived in the US, I used to do volunteer wildlife education programs with various people. Those who ran the programs had to be strictly licensed and their living conditions, etc., were constantly monitored. Some of the animals were unable to be returned to the wild, due to injury or other causes. (Not the case with the wolf or the puma.) All the animals were brought to various institutions (schools, community centers, etc.) to teach people, especially children, about wildlife and conservation. Many of the city kids had never seen animals up close, and none had ever had more than a zoo encounter. Some of the animals we would bring, the kids could touch. (They were not allowed to touch the predators that I worked with, except on very rare occasions, with animals that had been raised since birth around humans and were used to being handled.)

  I myself have never had a fear of any animals except snakes, and I used those programs to overcome even my fear of snakes. Now I love them, and I used to handle them all the time, including a Burmese python that weighed nearly as much as I did at the time.

  It all comes down to knowing an animal's behaviour, and knowing when to stay away. As much as I love wolves and other predators, and no matter how at ease they are with me, I would NEVER be that close at feeding time.

  My answer would have gotten lost after 4 pages of actual on-topic discussion. This started out as a question about my username, if anyone else is reading.

  slugga: is that a real wolf pup? And the puma, aren't its claws dangerous?

  Yes, that was a real wolf pup. It was his first time out with all those people around, so he was really nervous. He stayed on my lap the entire time (2 1/2 hours).

  Is the puddy tat stuffed...because I wouldnt have gone anywhere near it if it was alive, and I have a penchant for big cats too! DB74

  And no, Maya was not a stuffed puma. She was about 100 pounds (at the time; not fully grown) of real cat. She could have been dangerous, yes. I was one of only two people who was allowed to handle her. She liked me.

  Here you can see her standing up, as opposed to laying in my lap:

  The Worst Public Talk Ever

  what was the absolute worst pt you had to sit thru?.

  i was thinking that for me the worst outline is "get a firm hold on the real life".

  yes a life constricted by endless and ever changing rules, burdened by guilt, fear and obligation, and all the while hoping for an empty promise has got to be the "real life"

  Going off thread completly, Why "wolfgirl" as a name?

  To make a long story short, this is me a few years ago:

  Mind the hair...flourescent lighting and blond highlights do not go together very well.

  I used to work with animals a lot, and wolves have always been my favourites. Another personal fav was the mountain lion (puma), but that just doesn't quite sound as good as a name.

  My father was an elder, and I often had to go with him to other congregations when he had to give a talk. I think there was one called "Can You Live Forever? Will You?" Something like that, anyway. I heard that damn talk so many times, I could have given it myself. :P

  Dances With Watchtowers - Witnessing to Native Americans

  by Clam in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've had a life long fascination with native americans, starting of course as a kid who watched westerns, and then learning of about their true culture and spirituality.

  i have often wondered how jws in other countries, particularly the us, would interact with the indigenous people of their country.

  do any americans here have any stories about witnessing to native americans?

  Back in my gung-ho days, I went on a trip to work 'where the need was greater.' We went to North Dakota for a couple of weeks, and there was a Native American woman with her boys who was studying. The oldest boy seemed more interested in me than what else was going on, and the others were young. I felt bad for them, because their father had pretty much abandoned them (alcoholism). I really hope they didn't get sucked into the cult. They were a very nice family, some of the friendliest that we met the entire time. Got chased off someone else's porch, whilst being threatened with a shooting. Hee-hee!

  I really struggle to remember birthdays. When I forget, I explain why I was never allowed to celebrate them for most of my life, and people understand.
