  2. family

  hi friend`s ,i have my son and dil living with us ,which has been ok,overall ,quite a few years now ,however ,a few months ago they decided they wanted a dog ok ?

  we had one a toy poodle for about 16-17 years and i just loved her as did my wife.. a few months ago my son wanted a dog and got a french bulldog as a pup ,which was ok by us .. however to cut a long story short, yesterday i was out in the back yard and the dog lunged at me and started attacking me in such a way as i can only describe as being frenetic in his attack ,in trying to ward off his attack and getting away from him i fell over and i believe if my son hadn`t finlly restrained him he would have mauled me .

  i am 83 years old and my wife has just turned 80. and i dont want that to happen to her .. i don`t know the dog is what 4-5-6 months old i`m not sure , and been living with us all this time ,however i`m going to tell them to get that dog out of my house by the week and and a half or i will one way or another .. i am not going to tolerate that in my household and if he don`t like it he can go also .. i`m not being unreasonable am i ?

  over the years, i have found it helpful to see the similarites between jw's and mormons to help me understand what happened to me and my family as jw's.

  robert bryan discusses this in one of the best presentations i have heard on the topic.

  Remember we got new songbooks with updated and removed songs.

  Strange moments, when a favorite song was deleted.

  what i mean by the title of this thread is what has happened to a relative of mine, one who is really upset about this factor:.

  this relative is a distant cousin on my mother's side of the family.

  she studied as a child and got baptized at 14 1/2 years old.

  I remember a circuit assembly in the 90's were the CO told complaining jw's about Jobs and retirement, they have to shut up. "It was you who made the choice", hé told the audience whit a cold and hard voice.

  I was POMI then. My father always told me to get a good job and not to trust the end time doctrine. Our family was investing and buying property arround 1975, even from witness, who sold it because of the time of the end.

  it's becoming unbearable for me to attend another meeting.

  i dread coming to the weekly sunday public talk and watchtower study.

  the talks are ''repeats'' of a ''repeat.

  In 2008 I could no longer attend the meetings, because my brains got hurt. All the bias, rules and made uo history, I could no longer accept.

  Since 1995 generation change I became PIMO.

  Now with wife and children save, faded and off the jw radar since we moved to another city.

  JW family still have contact, they avoid the elephant in the room.
