Jes, I have a great lawyer for you. I will email you directly with his name and number. He is a "kick ass" lawyer, and he did exactly that for me when the time came for it. :-)

Wow...these are great! I'm almost embarrassed to say that I'm not that familiar with various painters. I've only been to an art musuem maybe once in my life, so I think it's time to go and edumacate myself..LOL All I know at this point is that I like Thomas Kinkade stuff, with all the cottages/homes and all the colors he uses. I'm not into all his Lighthouse stuff, but I sure enjoy the cottages...

The Pain of my Daughter
by LeslieV inmy oldest daughter wrote this to her father to show her pain of his choosing his religion over her.
of course, once he read the letter he told her he has just choosen jehovah.
she wanted me to share this with all of you, and especially if there are any jw's that are lurking on this board, to show what a child feels when religion is more important than your children.. dear daddy;.

(((((((((Leslie and daughter))))))))) I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. And it's so typical that the response was that he simply chose Jehovah, I've heard that soooo many times. My family always takes the stance that I left THEM, not the other way around. To JW's, the religion is who they ARE, not just a part of who they are. For JW's, you can't have one without the other, it's all or nothing. My heart goes out to you both.

Are You Tough, Or Are You A Baby?
by minimus inif you were to describe your temperment, would you say that you are a pretty tough person or a crybaby?
do you wear your heart on your sleeve and tend to be emotional, or do you let things just bounce off of you?

I lean more towards the "tough" side. I don't like to show my emotions, so if or when I get teary eyed I usually leave the room. I pretty much just let stuff roll right on past me and not get worked up about stuff. But if I get really mad, look out!

Can you get DF'd for associating with DF'd ones?
by madison149 inmaybe that's a stupid question.
i always thought you could get disfellowshipped for associating with ones who are disfellowshipped.
however, i seem to remember something in the "secret" elders manual (which my husband found in it's entirety online a couple of years ago, but which we haven't been able to find again) which said that a person would not get disfellowshipped for associating with a disfellowshipped family member.

Yes, you can be df'd for associating with df'd ones.

Could you trust someone who has been sexually abus
by Jesika inabused to babysit for your children???
i was thinking about this today, in light of my son's well being, being questioned.
stats show that people who have been sexually abused go on to later abuse someone else.

Jes, it would depend on the person. Like, I wouldn't trust my son with anyone's child, and you know which son I'm talking about. It all depends on the person, and I know you would never hurt a soul. I wouldn't be concerned about you abusing any child. No way.

Breaks my heart
by MrMoe inthe other day a foster mom asked if she could talk to me for a moment.
it seems a little boy i become more than close to here at the school will be up for adoption very soon, as his parents will not be allowed to have contact with him after years worth of thier case being reviewed due to child abuse and neglect.
she asked me if i would like to raise him and adopt him as my own.

That's a beautiful story MrMoe...this child sounds like he needs lots of love and attention.
His foster mother is good, she takes care of all her Foster kid's needs (there are 5 in all,) materially anyhow. But she provides little in relation to emotional support or bonding.
I guess I feel the love and attention, bonding etc, is much more important than the material provisions. Having an abundance materially won't make up for the loss of someone who really love them and shows it openly and regularly.
Hugs MrMoe...
