things must be getting pretty desperate.
i just heard some wonderful news of another boy being appointed a ministerial servant.
the comment was that even though he is young, he is very mature.another person, speaking of a different boy being appointed said that he had the added advantage of being home schooled and that really helped him to mature.
Not new...I was made M.S. as I turned 17 also. Bad decision on the holy spirits part I guess......oh, no wait..thats right...Jehovah permits those things to happen to prove some sick point late in life...

i for one actually agree with the comments made by invisible, americans on the whole are a nation that dominates the world through bullying.. america is the big kid in the playground nicking everyones lunch money.. i live in the us but will move away soon.
what happened on 9/11 was unbelievably , god awful and so sickening that i cant watch those planes hit the twin towers without feeling nauseated.. this may hurt but.........america brought his on themselves.
the world has had enough of their politics their machoism and their greed.
Im ALWAYS DOWN FOR A BEER!!
Dont have to ask me twice!
Well Its important because it helps us determine what eating you.
I personally think the UK is a great country. I've never lived there but I would imagine that their shared beliefs with the U.S. is what has you bent out of shape.
Do you mean to tell us that none of those countries worked for you?
I dont get into many debates. But Its hard for me partucularly when someone bashes this country. It sort of like saying " hell you went out and got shot at, bombed, some of your freinds killed, wounded for nothing".
Thats my problem with your comments. We are all adults here (I presume) and know that nothing is never going to be perfect. That politicians are always going to be Goddamn liars and there is always going to be deals made under the table......but hell, If I had to pick a country to be "fucked up with", I pick the good 'ol USA.
What more can I say?
I'm a Patriot!
please, with all of this misunderstanding of people thinking i believe muslims are "towel-heads" could one of you artistically inclined make me a new icon?.
just add one of those swami things to my head.
perhaps, for a nice touch, you could use the swami thing out of the new watchtower.

OK, I'll Bite:
"I have been to more countries than you can imagine......what about you ?, have you managed to get out of this country or is it sooooooo great you cant bear to leave it for a few days ?"
I would love to know where you've been, private. So lets hear your life long experience in all these countries gov'ts. internal policies and how you've reached your conclusions.
From what I gather, everything thats come out of your piehole is nothing more than opinions from someone who's obviously frustrated with life in this country and in your own.
I dont buy that you've come hear to learn "diversity of culture". Thats bullshit. Every person whose immigrated to the U.S. has done so because they can't take the political b.s. from their own country or just to make a better living for themselves and their family.
What's your beef again????? Because some of us actually like it here? Puffy is right, you need to pray for the big A to come soon, it's sounds like the only thing that can bring you that "peace" of mind and great "country" you so desire.
Mav.---Whose put up....so I dont have to shut up!
does anyone own a watch dog, paticularly a doberman pinscher?
some on this board know i love animals and i lost my bingo cat last year.
i really loved him to death but i have to admit that when it came to giving affection...forget it.
Trota:
I probably am on a control trip...most K9 cops are assholes!!
I have arrested people who have had altercations with neighbors either in the hallway or in their apts. bacause their dogs got "loose" and protected its owner.
Its not fair, but thats for the judge to sort out. Once a complaint has been made an arrest is next.
You'd be surprised the amount of people looking to make a fast and easy buck in a lawsuit.
Probably the best thing to remember is this: an animal is just that "AN ANIMAL"... with its own instincts and reactions. Even with the best training, you can't guarantee a dogs reaction to certain situations no matter how many times he's been in it before. So, ok, you can get a $ 350 Doberman which will be perfect for you and your work situation but just remember to cover your butt legally.
Mav.-
yes, it's time to put the sunday papers down and get in some serious polling.
we've gotta be quick, because we don't want to miss any of the world cup final!
so, here's this week's topic (it's a long one!!
"They must have had sex"
does anyone own a watch dog, paticularly a doberman pinscher?

Trota:
Dobermans dont always come small. Mine is a purebreed with champion in his bloodline, but he's just a big boy! What do I feed him? Anything he wants!! No just kidding, my three boys eat once a day a bowl of Iams dry dog food-thats it!
I see what you're saying about just having the intimidation factor in the household. Believe me I know, when I go out with my Dobie-people cross the street to the other side---its awsome!! And he knows hes a bad boy so he's become very arrogant (only natural as long as your still the alpha).
Dobies will protect you household, no questions asked. Just remember that when your talking about having a dog off-leash six feet away from the "cable guy" or someone, the dog might percieve a threat when this person goes about their ordinary business.
As happened to me 2 days ago: I was standing post with my K9 and some lady had a sweater in her hand and used it to wave at us when she went by. My dog wanted to rip her arm off--but its a good reaction...because I had him on leash! She caught an attitude but remember the dog sees a possible threat, he has no appreciation for waving at me with a sweater!
Smae with you. You dont want to find yourself in a whole legal issue because the dog was off leash. In many states your supposed to keep them on leash when strangers are over for safety.
Thats wheree the training comes in: If he knows that attacking is just another form of a command and he's been rained to shut down properly, then you can have that bad boy roaming the house with people over.
Just to screw around, when I have company, I'll give my the dog the "on-guard" command and leave him in front of my guests while I go to the other room. He'll just watch for someone to be stupid. Which of course doesnt happen.
But anyway, weigh the pro's and con's fo having a trained animal and what exactly you need them for. I pretty sure you'll make a good decision!!

P.S.Not to offend anyone, but dont listen to any of the "standards" for size and height and all that b.s.
We are talking about a working dog!!! Not some showdog.
Those are all standards if you plan to show your dog in competitions. I could not give a flying F--- about any standards from some book.
My dobie is 135lb, with 32 inch shoulders and is the biggest pussycat around. If you make the wrong move though, it will be the last thing you know.
My Malinois has a full black mask which is unacceptable in the "book". But is that my reason for owning him?
He is an explosives/ patrol dog-and thats all that matters.
With you if what you want is a home guardian, then thats all that matters. Forget about that he has too much hair, he's too big, he farts alot, he looks evil...who cares, the important thing is that HE WORKS!

Ok...this is my area of expertise!
I dont care what anyone tells you, the Doberman is the "Elite" most highly intelligent working dog you can own. It is the most recognized dog in the world and the most easily trained.
I know most of you with other breeds like the Jack russel will beg to differ, but remember that I am referring to a Working animal. Not a pleasure dog.
I am currently a K9 officer in NYC and have now now recieved a Belgium Malanois (looks like a shepard..BUT ITS NOT!!!). We refer to them as Mali-gators....can you imagine why?
This is the most highly used dog in law enforcement-next to the shepard. The Shepard usually suffers from hip displaysia which is why most departments are using the Malinios.
If you want a no joke, always alert dog that will take serious action in the event of any unwanted intruders, the Malinois is my first choice, then the Doberman.
The only reason the Dobies arent being used like they were before is because of the myths that have been spewed foward about them particularly since the late 70's. As you know everything that changes in the police agencies are usually connected to political influences. Since people started complaining, the politicians decided to do something about it, like always without doing their homework and trying to get votes.
Also remember that it doesnt matter the rep a particular breed has...not every dog can work!
I have seen Dobies which are pitiful excuses for a doberman, just as I have seen Labradors which can kick some serious ass!
If you are interested in a good dog for personal protection, then go to the enclosed website. I have purchased my last two dogs from this company (for my private security business). Now remember that a trained animal will not come cheap. For basic and advanced obediance you'll be looking in the neighborhood fo 3 to 5 thou. For an AOC or attack on command about 5 to 6. For defensive mode only, which means the dog will aggres only when provoked, about 4500.
These are just general figures with good reputation companies. DO NOT GO TO JOE SHMOE and get you animal trained.
Also know that you will not be able to buy a trained puppy. The earliest age that you will be able to buy a trained animal, depending for what you want him for, is at a about 9 months to a year. But dont worry about all the stories about how they wont listen to you because they are too old or that the have bad habits--its not true!
The dog will work up a repore with you and believe me, when time goes by and you both "click", you will have something that most people dont, and that is a Dog that will listen to all your commands with out question. Believe me its the greatest to be able to give out commands in hand singles and have the dog obey!!!
All takes time and commitement. Remember the golden rule when it comes to dog training and handling: YOU MUST BE FIRM, FAIR AND CONSISTANT.
Even a trained animal will not work for you if you dont put the time and effort into working him. I know people that spent good money on aan attack/ protection dog and since they dont put the time in with them, they have become ordinary house pets. Just keep that in mind and you'll be able to enjoy whatever you decide on....Goodluck!
