  The love of animals

  by JH in

  probably you have a pet like most people do.

  one day your pet will die.

  when that happens, will you get another one right away, will you wait a while before getting another one, or will it end there and no more pets.

  How handsome he is, Tinkerbell! I like that picture.

  This is my dog Rufus. I adore this little guy. If he died I would be miserable. I can't even imagine it.

  I have never lived without a dog. Before my dog, Maggie, was too old we got another dog, Rufus, so that she would have a companion and so that when the inevitable happened we would already have another dog. We had Maggie for 13 years and she was one of the most wonderful dogs I ever encountered in my life. I am certainly biased because she was my dog, but everyone that met her sensed that she was special.

  As much as I love Bjork, "classy" is not a word I'd use to describe her. Of the 3 Tori has to be the classiest.

  Unfortunately, the mother probably thought she was doing the best thing for her child. It is obvious to us that their actions were irrational, but this woman may not have learned about the many options there are for children and families living with autism. I have seen the desperation parents can feel from struggling with a child whose condition they don’t understand. Nonetheless, this is a tragedy and one more reason education is imperative. Of course, there are educated people who are religious and incorporate their religion into their child’s treatment, but I doubt this type of event would have happened among more sensitive and intelligent people.

  Some People Enjoy Being Jehovah's Witnesses For Various Reasons

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  some individuals truly enjoy being jehovah's witnesses.

  i think about those that would have liked to be in acting.

  well, having a part in a demonstration in the service meeting or giving a talk in the theocratic ministry school gives one the opportunity to act, be melodramatic, show a little comedic talent,etc.

  I enjoyed Bible studies because no other religious group, that I was exposed to, taught the historical context of the stories.

  about seven weeks ago i posted here for the first time.

  in that post i said i'd like to be reinstated but felt it likely wouldn't happen because the shunning was too much for me.

  well, my prayers have been answered and i am reinstated.

  Happy trails, Northern Girl. If the WTBTS is your happiness in life, so be it. But if you find yourself unhappy and can't find what you need at the KH or among your "sisters" and "brothers" there...don't hesitate to turn here for a friend. You can PM me anytime and I bet many others here would be happy to leave the door open for you.

  Was Jesus and Mary Magdeline married?

  okay don't pelt me with stones for asking and nobody laugh.

  for those of us who still believe in the bible - i recently read the novel, "the da vinci code".

  great work of fiction but i was wondering if anyone ever heard of the plot's basis.

  My personal belief is that the Church recrafted events to give itself more power.

  I agree, and on this basis I believe the aforementioned scenario is just as possible as any other scenario.
