i never used to see much for interesting wildlife until i moved into my house 3 years ago.
i've seen some neat stuff.
there's lots of woodpeckers around here.
The only wildlife around here is my Pug Lola Lu. She is extremely territorial and aggressive to other animals entering our yard. That includes Cats, Raccoons, Groundhogs, other dogs and Birds. Size doesn't matter; Just this past summer she went after a big raccoon and received a nasty bite in return. (of course I got the vet bill)
i was just thinking about this the other day, about how my ideas of a romantic partner have changed since being a jw.. growing up, i thought i would marry a very upstanding jw, we would pioneer together, do missionary work, have children, see the world.
(never had any thoughts about bethel, though.
) so what it boiled down to was a stepford husband, up tight, not the least bit sexual, closed minded bore.. so now that i have grown up, seen the world, been married (and actually picked a good man the first time, although it didn't work out), i just contrast that with what i am attracted to now.. i like them open minded, earthy, i love artistic types because i am a published writer, hair doesn't matter to me (long/short, bald, etc), challenges convention, very sexual, still like a traveling man.. i am just curious if you anyone else can compare and contrast how their ideas have changed since breaking out the group-think of the jw organization..
Smart.
a friend of mine's daughter has a friend at school who is a jw.
she cannot invite the frined to her birthday celebration at home as that would offend.
however, they are going swimming to the local pool.
It really depends on the parents of the child. Some JWs would allow it, some wouldn't. I suggest asking anyway.

panic is bubbling up through my body.
Eunice Spry looks very much like "Church Lady"
when i was 9 i wanted to be daisy duke from the dukes of hazzard, but had to put aside the dream when i realised my legs weren't going to ever get any longer.. when i was 12 i wanted to be ghandi, but realised wars wouldnt stop because i missed breakfast.. when i was 16 i decided that by leaving the borg and living fast and hard enough being alice cooper was achievable.. now i'm 32 i think i'd quite like to have the sensuous, striking confidence and certainty of helen mirren when i grow up.. who did you want to be and why?.
I wanted to be a Veterinarian.
i finished reading combating cult mind control a few days ago.
i went to the local library to try to get a copy of crisis of conscience.
i had the librarian search for it, and it's not available in any of the municipal library's branches (i live in a fairly large city).
It's surprising JWs would even consider touching this book in fear of Demons.
if so, did it bother you that he had been reprooved and forgiven rather than reported to the police?
I didn't know it at the time but I learned many years later of a young girl who was molested by her step-father, an elder in the congregation.
i have recently gotten myself out of the org.
after 2.5 yrs.
of research about the org.
I agree about the weight being lifted off. It's an awesome feeling.
Just be prepared for a period of depression. Leaving the organization is somewhate like experiencing death; it was your entire world. You have to make new friends and acquaintances. In the meantime, it gets lonely.
I suggest you stay close to the forum. Also check around your area for others who have left. There is a site on the internet called Meetup. You might check it out.
never believing that a foreskin was a birth defect, i left my sons intact...( called genital integrity in some circles).
what, if anything, makes circumcision less of a mutilation than fgm?.
dont kill the questioner!!
My older brother wasn't cut. Other boys at school made fun of him.
it appears that both political parties and economists are agreeing on the need for a tax rebate.
the white house has a proposal in mind, and the democrats seem to be in line.. so will this help head off a recession?
and will you "do your part" .
If I get anything, I will put in in the savings.
