  My older two kids were 5 or 6 I think when they gave their first bible readings, but they never went through the questions to become unbaptised publishers. They were 12 and 10 went we left the borg. My youngest was only 4 when we left.

  I remember stumbling across the "Are Cats For True Christians" articles years ago when I was a dub. I didn't realize it was satire, I actually thought someone was serious about not keeping pet cats. I remember thinking that the person who wrote the article had really gone overboard, but it never occured to me that I had visited an apostate website and the piece was satire.

  My advice would be to conveniently "forget" that he was coming and go somewhere else. But since I'm late to this party, I'll just say that I hope you are OK now.

  I now have 12 tomato plants, 2 eggplants, a hot pepper, 4 bell peppers, 7 coleus, 2 kale, and 2 swiss chard started. I set up a shop light with aquarium bulbs to provide better light for the seedlings. I also have already started 16 broccoli, 14 cauliflower, and 2 brussles sprouts. I plan on having a great garden this year.

  2. family

  yesterday i had the duty of care to take our feline companion of 20 years to the vet to be euthanized.. i took a tin of his fav tuna and gave him a last meal at the vets to settle him as the needle and medication did its work.. he died peacefully and in no pain.

  my wife and i buried him in the garden next to a another older moggie.. i had the duty to email this sad news to the family who have largely grown up with him.. i sat in my back room and cried bitterly.

  i will miss him terribley and his head rubbs him checking on me once i was in bed and all his ways.. sleep well..... time for another cry..

  From laundry mat to laundry mat

  by donny in

  2. experiences

  about three years ago, i was walking past a local laundry mat and i noticed some of the society s publications laying on the chairs by the window.

  so i walked inside and found an awake from 1995 and a watchtower from 1989. the latter one was funny to me because i was still in the organization when it was released.

  i couldnt help but be shocked at how old these magazines were.

  when I was in, I was very reluctant to discard extra magazines unless they were damaged in some way. After spending several months in my service bag, some would be a little dog eared and rumpled, and I would trow those away. But pristine copies lived a long and boring life on my bookshelf, until I finally broke free from the borg. Then every last bit of literature eventually found its way to the garbage can.
