aww. he wants to preach to her? no suggestions for that. i was going to say that if he really wanted to get rid of her the fastest way was to tell her that he had converted to paganism.
he'd never see her again.
i have a friend who is constantly getting bugged by a jw co-worker who keeps coming to his house to preach to him.
he's usually not home but she keeps disrupting the family.
she's caught him like 2-3 times as he was already on his way out, so he's never taken the time to really talk to her much.

one who are mother's but never had the chance to hold their child are those who have lost a child.
some because they chose to give their child up for adoption.
others because of miscarriage or stillbirth.
sunnygal, i am so sorry for your loss. i lost two babies to miscarriage, and even now, after almost twelve years (can it be that long?) since the first and 9 since the second, i still miss my babies. i look at the child i was blessed with afterward (no small miracle is she) and wonder what they would have been like. i know how lucky i am that i was able to ever have one, i am so sorry that you have not been able to...you can't ever replace one child with another even so..i'm rambling and making no sense because this subject is still so raw for me even after all this time that it's like channeling pure emotion through me. the physical losses themselves were so violent and devestating emotionally, you get so attached to them so quickly.
there is a really good book called "miscarriage; women sharing from the heart" that really helped me a lot. it's the only one i ever read that wasn't insulting on the subject. it had two authors and i think one of them is named shelly marks...it really helps.
i still grieve for the ones i've lost, you can't ever really 'get over' something like this. it changes you, forever. i had friendships that didn't survive, i remember one friend was so upset because i couldn't bring myself to attend her baby shower within weeks of my second miscarriage. i had lost two babies in two years and just couldn't do it. she never really forgave me. it wasn't that i wasn't happy for her (even though she hadn't planned it and complained the whole time!) i just couldn't face all those little clothes and shoes and reminders of what i had so recently lost. and she couldn't understand that.
i'm sad too about the children i won't ever have, because i've been told in no uncertain terms by my doctors not to attempt it with my bad health. so sad, because my second marriage is so happy...
(((((((((((((((((((Sunnygal))))))))))))))))) understanding hugs...

thanks lee for the very sensitive, kind post.
don't peek but begin the test as you scroll down and answer.
answers are for who you are now not who you were in the past.
this is a real test given by the hr dept.
i'm a 48 myself...seems a lot in that group here!

anyone have any thoughts on american idol lately.. i was really dismayed when they voted jennifer off two weeks ago.
it looks like she will still have a career though.. john stevens is just so nice but he needs voice lessons, as paula suggested for him.. who do you think will win?.
at this point, i think it's between diana and latoya.
guess i'm the only fantasia fan in the house lol. she could have done better tonight IMO but to me, she is the one with the most unique voice and style and i think she rocks. diana oversang "someone to watch over me" badly IMO, it's supposed to be a very brooding, melancholy song and at times i felt like she sounded like a miss america contestant lol.
i think it will definitely come down to her, fantasia and la toya. right now i hope fantasia wins, latoya should be on broadway, and diana needs to finish growing up.
just the way i see it!

thanks for stringing those all together, much appreciated.
if anyone is ever feeling a weakness toward going back to the borg, this should be required reading, and ought to help them get back on track.

mine is from friday, the movie with ice cube, where a couple of jw ladies wake up ice cube's character's family one morning and there's some mouthing off, and you wouldn't believe the nasty words coming out of these sweet looking old "sisters".
hilarious!.
roflmao! these are hilarious. love the simpsons and exfiles and python, of course.
a recent one: on queer eye for the straight guy, a guy who hardly leaves his apartment to meet women is told by carson kressley "maybe some hot jehovah witness will come to the door and be the love of your life."
LOL
okay, this is interesting to me.. first a little bit of background on me, i was introduced to jw-ism as a zygote, raised in and baptized at the tender age of 12. i got baptized because my beloved grandfather had just passed away and i was told that if i wasn't baptized i wouldn't get to the new order and i wouldn't ever see him again.
no pressure or anything.... i really truly believed everything for the first two decades of my life.
really started doubting at 25, left at 26 (they df'd me even though i disassociated myself in a letter to the elders first).
thanks for celebrating with me everyone, and el blanko thanks for the warning about going into another mental straightjacket...in the past five of the six years since I was df'd i've developed a pretty good 'bs' detector and i think that's why i'm agnostic now (though i am leaning WAY over into the 'athiest' side of that fence these days, believe me).
i do know one thing for sure, organized religion has absolutely no place in my life. none. even disorganized organized ones lol ;)
maybe someday you'll see a "hey guys i'm an athiest and i'm so happy about it!" thread from me...lol but one step at a time.
hugs!!

this is similar to the movie lines.... in that you come up with lyrics from a song and ask what song it is?
then the winning answer can move on to ask another.. .
song number 1: .
are we on a new song yet? forgive me if i missed any.
i think harden my heart was by quarterflash?
here's some more:
"fragile, like a baby in your arms...be gentle with me, i'd never willingly do you harm..." (should be an easy one if you're a child of the 80's...)
exjdub, that was beautiful *sniff* i can only hope my husband still feels the same way about me in 19 more years!
"I've seen perfection in a rainbow in the sky,
I've seen a child make the coldest grown man cry,
but loving you, I thought was greater than them all."
~from you're the only place, sung by josh groban (among others)

"you know that when the truth is told, that you can get what you want, or you can just get old..."
