dogs don't turn into teenagers.
they don't care about clothing styles.
they don't get depressed about friends.
Animals won't turn on you like people. They certainly won't gossip or slander you. The don't hate you because you are better looking or have more money or a better career than them. They don't tell you to build a bridge and get over it when you are sad. Theydon't steal your credit cards and go on shopping sprees. They don't drink the last beer or steal your cigarettes. They don't run off with your boyfriend except to "go for a walkie".
That is why most of my friends are animals

Perhaps it is time to learn the definition of succinct ?

being a jehovah witness, did you feel obliged to have a 4 door car?
once i bought a 2 door car, and everyone was looking at me as if i commited a crime.
i then reasoned with them saying, "didn't jesus send his deciples by groups of 2?".
because when you grow up they put you on guilt trips...it's called get back time .
just kidding ...i love my mom more than anybody in the world!!!
she is my best friend!
Crystal,
I think your post is funny. It's good to have a sense of humor, eh?

Moe,
Since my son is 22 years old, I think he might like that suggestion! Let me run it by him....I'll get back to you.
Robyn
Moe,
Your daughter is the cutest! Makes me want to have another kid. May I borrow her sometimes? I won't spoil her too much

The following is my post from another thread. It seems appropriate in this one:
I never wanted to have children. Why bring them into the world only to suffer and eventually die? To me, that would be selfish. Then I got pregnant, which was odd because I was on birth control pills. Of course this was 23 years ago and the pill wasn't as effective as it is now.
I considered my options and could not bring myself to have an abortion. So, I gave birth to my only child. I am so glad that I did. I learned what it is to totally and unselfishly love another human being, to put his interests above my own. I learned so much through my conversations with him. I actually had my faith in the possibilities of the human race restored. I also think that having my child kept me out of trouble because I was a rebel without a clue when I was a young adult.
When my son was 5 years old, he overheard a friend and me talking about her abortion. Later that day he asked me what an abortion was. I told him that an abortion is when a pregnant woman, for whatever reason, maybe it was because she didn't have a husband, or enough money to raise a child, decided that she didn't want to be pregnant anymore and went to the doctor who used a small vacuum to take the pregnancy cells out of her belly so that she would no longer be pregnant.
I asked my son if he understood what I was saying. He put down his Leggos and ran up to me throwing his arms around my legs. He said "Mommy, I am so glad that you had me and not an abortion because I love you". I picked my son up, hugged him to me and told him how very much I loved him and how happy I was that I didn't have an abortion.
I still cry when I think about that day 17 years ago. I am glad that I didn't have an abortion. I am so happy that my son is here, in this world. His existence still gives me hope for the future of humankind.
If there had never been a child in my life, what joy would there have been for me? Not much. I doubt that I would even be alive. By giving life to my child, he in return gave life to me.

people often ask me why i don't have children...."is it because you don't like them?
" it's quiet the contrary.

the more i listen to the religion argument the more atheist i become.
their are still some things that are hard to explain and most simply doesnt need explaining who cares?
just because we dont know the explanation doesnt mean there isnt one!.
I one time had a boyfriend who had a storage unit, something like a little metal shed, in his yard. I kid you not, you could hear things moving around in there. If you opened the door to look, you would notice that many items in this shed had been rearranged.
He said that a poltergeist or something similar had become attracted to an item his sister owned. When his sister moved out of state, she had placed that item in his shed for storage and the poltergeist was still hanging out with the item and rearranging the contents of his shed on a nightly basis.
Many times, I opened the door to that shed and each time something had been rearranged.

andyman stated in another thread:this got me thinking about the change in the 1914 generation.
i remember how this was a very important point when i was studying back in the late 80's.
it was explained to me over and over that this system would defenitly end before the generation of 1914 passed away.
"It must be acknowledged that we have not always taken Jesus words in that sense."
Is this the WTS way of saying that they were incorrect without actually coming out and saying that they were incorrect?
Wait a minute, what is this I see?
With similar sincere intentions, Gods servants in modern times have tried to derive from what Jesus said about generation some clear time element calculated from 1914
Oh, it is their excuse for being incorrect.
