" "it was time", knowledge answered.
Hello Prisca,
Thanks for the excellent post. Some very interesting ideas/concepts, IMO.
They have me 'counting' and pondering, too.
When I think of you, dear Prisca, an old saying often comes to mind:
"Now there is a lady who can shovel the manure from the barn in the morning, and, in the afternoon, take tea with the Queen!!"
g'day you guys from canada, (alright to call you canucks?).
i see from my international style diary that you're having a holiday today.
so here in the far flung parts of the southern climes, we'd like to wish all our canadian fellow posters all the best for today.
Kismet,
The first ever birthday celebration with your father....that's even COOLER!!! I bet it meant a lot to him also. May you both have many, many more together.

To all Canadians - guess I'm a day late, but hope you had a wonderful
"Canada Day."
Kismet, did I read your post correctly?
If so, Kismet, HaPPy BiRThdAY to you.
here is one i cam across the other day:.
ten best things to say if you get caught sleeping at your.
desk:.
Hi Introspection,
Hahahahaha, thanks...it's always great to start the day out with a BIG laugh.
These are 'keepers.' :)
i really need some help guys.
my youngest son is getting married in 3 weeks to a really annoying .
young woman, 22. she has add and talks all the time!!
Hi Marilyn,
I concur with Maximus - it's difficult to diagnose this young woman's problem, clinically, and it could be beyond the ADD, Dyslexia label.
But, I will say that I have dealt with people such as her, and what I am forced to do is point my finger directly at them and say, "Puhleeeeze, you have interrupted me, stop talking until I've finished, and I will let you know when I'm done talking." You will, of course, find yourself saying this often - but it did shut people up.!!!
If she doesn't like it, well, then sometimes the cards fall where they may. Even if she does have ADD, and/or reading problems - she has EARS. So, IMO, it's time to 'get in her face' and force her to focus on her behavior. :)
dear fellow board members,.
my mother is still a member of the org, and as i see it, fully intends on remaining a member.
she does not agree with everything the wts says, (the elders don't know that) and she has told me that she would never disown me for them, nor have they asked her to.
Joanne,
Good for you for wanting to bring this to your mother's elders/ms attention.
Path does make some good points, however. Perhaps you should put in a sentence, or so, stressing that she doesn't know that you are writing the letter, and that these are your personal observations -- that she, personally, doesn't 'complain' to you, etc.
I'm concerned that the part about her being 'critical' of how she is treated, will just make things worse for her (even if her feelings are expressed only to you.)
I'm glad your mom continues her relationship with you, despite their shunning mandates. But, if they view her as 'complaining' to an 'apostate', even this might be called into question.
Do you know of any one elder in her congregation that you view as an individual with compassion? If so, maybe you can send the letter to him.
I've known of many similar situations...it always sickens and saddens me...sigh.
do you want to know what jws is on the cesnur's private mailinglist?.

Thanks, Kent.
For those of you who may not be familiar with CESNUR, here's a link:
When it comes up, click on "BYU-U to host World Conference" which is on the top left-hand side (just below "CESNUR").

Thank you!
i have had my jw cousin and his wife and three children staying at my house since sunday.
i thought i'd just share a few experiences with you all.. my husband and i are marveling at the numerous compromises they have made since coming here to washington state from wisconsin.
they are here to visit his disfellowshipped mother who has cancer.
Ven,
Hahahaha, 'guy groceries' is pretty funny. Hmmmm, what could I have been thinking????? I'll ponder on the term while I go to the market and 'buy' my own groceries. Hmmmm. :)
janh:.
janh, i would like to offer you my sincerest apology for calling you a nazi in kent's apology thread.
i must say i didn't intend for it to be taken as a slur against your race.
JanH
This question begs to be asked:
If Bigboi had apologized to you one-on-one, via E-Mail - what would your 'reply' to him have been?
