  this website is having an impact

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hello.........this is a first for me- i've been reading some of your messages for some time now, and i must say you guys study your watchtower far better than i ever did.

  i'm still a part of the congregation (and an elder), but i have to say i agree with many of your criticisms of the organization.

  we've become just like the pharisees that jesus condemned............at our last assembly, the do and co warned against apostate material over and over again..........so i certainly think you're having a tremendous impact on their actions.

  Dothemath,

  Welcome to this site.

  I am DF'd and shunned by my family. However, the Society's rule on shunning has backfired with me and I am sure many others. Mainly, because of the lack of love shown by the JW's and my JW family. I am resolved to never go back and to teach my kids to have a free mind. I teach them to research everything they have doubts about then come to their own conclusion. I also let them know I do not and will not always agree with their actions and decisions but, I will love them unconditionally.

  Again, Welcome to the board.

  Dog training -- need some ideas!

  now, i know bassets are stubborn.

  i also know they have selective hearing and can give the impression of being downright stupid at times.

  ladybug, however, is really becoming a problem!

  Cruzanheart,

  Panda had some great ideas. Also, When I was training my boxer's (the one's to your left on my post) I kept treats in my pocket when I took them outside. When they went I praised them and gave them a treat. If they had an accident in the house I scolded them.

  Just a little curious. I have noticed as I get older my sense of taste changes. I never liked tea when I was young but, now I do. I just discovered this the other day. Also, I never used to like cornbread. Now I love it in soups.

  So let me hear it. Is it just me or does everyone experience these changes in taste?

  Caspian,

  I can empathize with you. My divorce was in 1997. Unfortunately, I still have to put up with my x-husband (we have two sons together). When someone asks me now if I am married I reply, "No I am HAPPILY divorced". (Just a little humor)

  However, it does get easier. It is a grieving process. Eventually, you will feel much better and you will see that your life will go on. This chapter in your life will close and who knows what is in store for you!!

  Hugs to you-Laylaluv
