i would like to have your opinion on something if you don't mind.
my girlfriends dog, a scottish terrier, is a wonderful lovable dog about fiveyears old.
my girlfriend owns a hair salon and takes her dog with her and the dog greets clients very lovingly.
Aww, Lois, that's the sweetest story.
I'm a cat lady myself. I have a 20 lb. orange tabby who is a snuggler, but even flapping pajama legs earn an attack. He is always on the hunt.
As to dogs, I've known dogs who only bark at men in baseball caps. I agree that it's likely a bad experience that they've generalized to all people who look similar.
good article, a must read, from my perception.. i did a bachelor and master since 2001, having the same opinion, for a better present and future and for my and family sake: being an educated person, gaining respect and being proud of what i could realize in life.
a win - win situation.. http://www.npr.org/tags/510831679/jehovahs-witnesses.
for present jw and non present jw's, take your change and take the path to higher education.. g.. g..
I'm afraid we're going to see more and more young adults never leaving home, but getting married and living with their spouse, or even kids, in tiny basement apartments in Mom and Dad's house.
The parents will need the children's help, too, if they haven't worked enough to collect much Social Security.
Then you have the beginnings of a compound which can be the first step of removing themselves from the world and then going rogue.
I'm calling it; the compound. If not Warwick, somewhere where multi-families are living together due to their poor individual finance prospects.
i just wanted to share a perspective related to my experience with leaving the jw.
at this point, i have been df'd since i was 18. i'm 25, happily married with 2 fantastic children.
after being miserably at odds with my parents and extended family, i've come to some realizations as follows.. i struggled with the conditional nature of my parent's love- talking to me until it bothered their conscience, then cutting me off.
Think twice about this, Iron.
As super-spiritual as your parents sound, just fading could trigger their shunning again.
There are many here who have had that exact thing happen, and it appears the organization gives tacit approval for this.
was there anything positive about your jehovah's witness experience?.
The ability to tolerate 5 hours of boredom weekly.

The lack of manners is appalling.
Could you imagine in any other church having something think that, "Do you have enough money to live on?" is appropriate casual conversation?
from the new york daily post - tuesday 21 february 2017, page 14. the headline in the newspaper is: exclusive - cop quits in grief - undercover traumatized over killing innocent man.
nypd undercover cop resigns as he struggles with grief from killing innocent man.
an undercover cop who fatally shot a bystander during a gun-buy operation has resigned from the nypd — too distraught to remain on the force, the daily news has learned.. the former detective, who sources say suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder, left the nypd in october with a tax-free disability pension.
All disability payments/pensions are tax free.
It's not like "tax free" distinguished it from a taxed disability pension.
Disability is and always has been tax free.
That's like saying I went to buy tax free groceries. Well, duh.
Why journalists add shit like that, I have no idea.
i used to have a slim bar with information at the top of my page, it seems like i did something and now what i have is a slim bar without any information and i have to click in the right hand side to be able to see the information that used to be on that top bar.. any ideas?.
please and thanks.
One day cats will take over the world.
many interpret serpent in the garden of eden as the satan hence miss the whole point because satan himself does not exist.
he is a fictional character [for example, in the temptation account, satan is shown as reflecting the erroneous belief of ancient time that shape of earth is flat, thus taking jesus to the top of “a very high mountain” and showed him “all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.” (mathew 4:8, 9) the fact that jesus did not correct the mistaken view of satan shows the account of temptation is allegorical.
further, jesus knew that satan was only a personification of evil (mathew 16:23; john 6:70) and categorically declared that “all evil thoughts proceed from one’s heart,” not from satan.
Jezeus, no wonder people think Americans are insufferable bastards.

The document is not really clear about the way the word "contaminated" was used.
Was it in the sense of biological pathogen contamination, or religious contamination because of the loss of continuous blood flow?
i came across this paragraph about the causes of ocpd and it occurred to me that jws as a religion do reward ocpd traits.
they insist you adhere to rules and behaviours to the impairment of social and family activities.
perfectionism, strict moral code, lack of generosity.. so does this religion cause this personality disorder or does it recruit people who suffer from it?.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder
You know, like emphysema.
