Dang...this thing is faster than mine...of course it has nothing on it to slow it down.

Actually Poztate, it's supposed to clear up and be nice all week! You're right about the cold though.

I'll just bet the little bastard eats all those damn cookies before I get there.
Never fear Gumpot. I'm saving some for you.
Hey jgnat, if you check the map, it's all downhill from Alberta, just coast on down for the post xmas bash!
lately something has bothered me as regards to many on jwd who wonder what to do, once they have found the organisation to be a destructive, mind controling sect.
aside from these ones deciding how to exit without causing a judicial meeting nor a stir among the publishers, it whether or not they want to risk their marriage and or family ties.. many on this site have related how their marriage fell to pieces because the dub mate could not accept their loved one "leaving jehovah", and they could never meet in the middle to save the marriage.
others who leave, push their dub mate away by their constant verbal expressions against the organisation...because they think they should....hence, the marriage falls apart.. here's the hard part i don't know the answer to.
ROFL @ Shotgun...but not treading anywhere near that one...

I have a daughter who I love very much, and that's precisely why I say that with conviction.
I apologize. I didn't know that.
I think it's totally unfair of you to say with conviction that they don't really love their children.
Does that mean that I did'nt had true love for my daughter ? You can look at this from a different angle: my love was big enough to let her go (and mis her) without taking her chance on eternal life.... It was just a calculation.
nicely put

I know for a fact my daughter loves her kids to death
Oh...My...God...
Gumby's a grandpa?

I think that most JWs merely tell themselves that they love their children. Most JWs, I'm convinced, know deep down that there's something very wrong with their religion, and so for selfish reasons -- a hope of in "living forever in Paradise", not love of God -- they follows the cult's precepts. I think that the proof that most JWs don't really love their children is that we all know that plenty of them would kill their children if the Watchtower Society told them to. Your sarcasm re the blood issue is proof of this.
I sincerely hope you are wrong.
My first thought when I read your comments above...he doesn't have children. No parent would say that with such authority.
I think it's possible that they love their children with some conditions that they feel are for their own good and relate to their salvation. Some are definitely very much under the control and conditioning of the cult. To say that MOST JWs don't really love their children is way off base.
I think the majority would take their chances and do what it takes to save their children. WTS be damned.

I am begining to understand that one mate leaving the WTS will destroy a bad marriage, but a marriage founded on love for the spouse's inner, Authentic Self can possibly survive the storm.
I think there is a lot of truth in that. Steve was discovering the truth about the WTS about the same time my dad, a big time elder of 24 years was discovering the same. It totally freaked me out. I reasoned on it this way: the two men whom I love and respect the most in the world have come to this conclusion. I listened to what they both had to say and read what they gave me to read. Nuff said...I'm out.
Also I felt I'd rather take the risk with Steve than live without him or live divided.
I really feel for those of you who are dealing with this issue. I wish I could have a drink with your wives and discuss a few things.

I agree that cats are smart.
I got so sick of my cat pretending he wanted in but refusing to walk through the door. I let him sit and stare at the door for over two hours. He hasn't hesitated since. ( I also accidentally pinched his tail in the door the other day...made him faster )
He has no respect for the presents under the tree though. He loves to hide under the tree and walks over whatever is in his way to get there. I tried leaving him an opening but it was quickly filled and he didn't care anyway.

Can I have a cookie if I wipe the booger on Steve instead?
Nope, I still might get some on me. Wipe it on Ross and we'll talk.
Dogs are yucky.
