we just had a horrible episode in our back yard.
as most of you know i have two warlock dobermans.
they are very large and powerful.
Many people don't realize mixing large powerful dogs with smaller dogs is a dangerous mix. If you are a "dog" person, you already realize dogs get into disagreements. A 5 lb. dog is no match for a 60 pound pup.
Two years ago, I put my Precious Lucie Jo to sleep because she accidentally killed her "Chihuahua Sister" Poppi Leigh in a disagreement over her bed and Stuffed Bear.
what has happened to this place??!!.
i left this board a while back to reorganize and get refocused.
the vibe of jwd was changing and the forum became "unbalanced" (for lack of a better word).
Other than the Trevor incident, I don't see much difference. The same ole family of "normal" ex- JW people with everyday concerns.
heya all,.
had my ultrasound yesterday everything looks good and is where it should be, we didnt find out this time what we are having, we figured we have one of each it would be nice to have a suprise.. here is one of the pics.
baby is looking straight at you and has one of its little hands near its face!.
How Precious! Thanks for Sharing your Joy with us.
i was walking to my car after work, it was very cold (low 40's f) and getting dark and a beggar woman walks up to me sobbing and crying about being cold.
she didn't want to go through another very cold night light last night (low 30's f) and she needed money to get into a local shelter.
yes, it costs $12 per night to get into a homeless shelter... that's texas for ya.
Perhaps you were taken advantage of; perhaps not.
You did what your heart said to do at the time. I tend to follow my "gut" too.
PayPal has been a major contributor to my success at selling on eBay for the past five years.
just to show you the mindset of the typical jw.
i was talking with my mother-in-law who lives only 15 miles from one of the colorado churches where the shootings took place yesterday.
when i expressed my sympathies for the victims and the community, she basically said in a cold-hearted, remorseless way; what do you expect for babylon the great, especially in a church where the priest is a sexual deviant!.
When I saw the news about the Killing in Colorado, All I could think of was how heartbreaking this is for the parents of these victims! Most were very young!

Perhaps I'm Mistaken but I seem to remember a Shooting in a Kingdom Hall a few years ago.
i just read a piece on cnn about the commodore 64. apparently it is what hundreds of thousands of people (the article says "millions" -- really?
millions?
) look back on as their very first real computer.
The first computer in our home was an Apple we bought for the kids in the early 1980s.
My first IBM clone was an 80/88 with a dial up modem. I think it had a 20 meg Hard Drive but I'm not certain. What a blessing it was though. My younger son Aaron was doing poorly in school; he was rather bored. I simply showed him how to do basic DOS Commands and he found his passion. He started writing programs and such. Today, he's a Firmware Engineer at Dell in Texas.
the literature servant told me that their instructions are to only give one study wt per publisher starting with the january 1st, 2008 issue.
under no circumstances are they to provide any other copies (if lost or whatever, much like kms are provided now).
any guests attending the wt study will be provided a copy, but then the servant who gave them the copy must confiscate it after the meeting.
Very Strange case of Paranoia...... Wonder what they've been smokin.
