There's a tattletale policy. You turn someone in and it makes you look better and more spiritual.

Animals were created without needing Toilet Paper ... but not Man ... Why???
by RubaDub inmy dog and other pets do their "business" and run away and are happy.. man does not have that luxury.
any thoughts on why animals were created with the "poop and go" capacity while man has to go through more steps?
was this perhaps an additional issue that god added on when adam and eve sinned (such as eve having significant more birth pains)?

Oh, dude, they DO need toilet paper!
I used to have a long-haired cat with dingleberries.
When I took her to the groomers, I had to ask them to shave her butt!
They acted like it was an everyday request and didn't even charge extra.

genuine english guy seeking jw lady
by english_gentleman inhi, i believe that a lady is put on earth to satisfy the needs of her partner and respect his views in all matters.. i realize some here may consider that old fashioned and not based on sexual equality.. yet a lady and man are not created equal because the lady gives birth and the man must sire many children.
if you are a lady under 30 and keen to meet me, willing to cook and breed, then please message me here.
please do not contact me if you disagree with my views, we can agree to differ.

I would just pick them all up and stack them in some obscure corner of the office in the name of tidying up.
Wives love when their husbands pitch in on the tidying!

Ladies: Circumcision or not?
by Wonderment inthe topic of circumcision has been brought up a few times recently.
then i wondered... .
how do women really view circumcision?

Circumcision gained popularity in the US during WWII. American soldiers were circumcised in a bid to prevent "venereal disease."
Then they came home and when they had sons of their own felt a strange need that son should look like Daddy, so circumcised them and it became popular for several decades.
Finally it was figured out that circumcision wasn't really all that effective at preventing sexually transmitted infections, but the trend was to cut.
It is slowly getting less popular in the US, but there is still a lot of talk about people being worried that son would look different than daddy which I really don't understand.
When my son was little and brought this up, my husband just told him the truth, "The doctor cut the end off when I was a baby." Son felt bad for his dad that he had a bad doctor that would do something like that! Easy peasy.

I'm an American and I did not have my son circumcised. My opinion was that I was sick as a dog for the 9 months it took to grow him, so I wasn't letting anybody cut any part of his little body off.
Also, the American Academy of Pediatrics found no benefit for it and could not recommended it.
My husband is circumcised, but did his research on the subject. Watching a circumcision performed and the screaming that resulted on the internet put him in the firm NO camp, too.
My son is 14 years old now and has not requested a circumcision, so I think we made the right decision. :)

What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?
by paul from cleveland ini can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.
i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.
i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.

The only time I see them is before the memorial when they deliver the invite. It's usually two sweet old ladies and I just smile and take the invite and say, "Thank you!"
They're just too sweet and friendly and elderly to bother them. I just let it go.

This is a big ol' SCORE!
It seems like they've been taking the donations from older ones, along with the older ones themselves, for granted.
I know my parents donate on a monthly basis, but I don't know how much. They've got a decent retirement, but, hey that's all they've got to live on for the rest of their lives!
I don't give a rat's ass whether there's any left after they're gone, but I sure as hell would be pissed if they gave it all away while they still need it to live off of.
Maybe your dad could take that land he got back and donate it for a park or something that would actually benefit the community
Maybe a blood donation center? Call it the "Jehovah's Witness Memorial Blood Donation Center."
