  My cousin died yesterday.

  he was 43, just a few months older than me.

  his kidneys failed him when he was just 15 and he'd been on dialysis ever since.

  a couple of transplants had failed in the early years and his body deteriorated after that.

  "The remarkable loyalty of animals actually causes some people to have stronger love for their pets than for family members. In divorce cases, custody of a pet is at times awarded as part of the settlement in property disputes. And people have named pets in their last will and testament as beneficiaries of fabulous wealth.

  No wonder pets are big business today! There are books and magazines that provide advice on every matter relating to pets. Realizing that some pet owners are willing to provide extravagant luxuries for their pets, businesses offer whatever pet owners want.

  For example, one may consult highly specialized doctors who treat all manner of ailments affecting pets. There are pet psychiatrists who will prescribe an antidepressant for a pet. In addition, there are pet lawyers and insurance agents as well as pet grooming services and training institutions. Funerals are held for pets. And offers are made to clone pets—all at a price, of course!"

  I actually agree with this one. Don't get me wrong. I like animals and totally believe that they should be treated with respect and not abused. However, I've seen too many people that practically WORSHIP their pets, while neglecting family or their spouses. IMHO pets are for children and old people. And if you are a single person that worships animals, either find someone just like you or stay single.

  Others will risk their very lives to save animals. I shake my head in shame and amusement when reading or hearing news reports of people dying because of these attempts.

  And don't tell me, "MY pet(s) treat me alot better than alot of people." Try neglecting your pet like you would neglect a family member and watch the results.

  You love your pet? Fine. Enjoy your pets. But people come first!

  P.S. I've had pets in the past. And I LOVED every one of them. But thank goodness my parents led right on this one..........Gosh....people are NUTS!

  Could an EX-JW Dating Site work?

  by Bourne in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  hey!

  since the "in" and "active" jw's have their dating websites, what about us?

  at the moment, i see myself, at a future date, feeling most comfortable with someone with a similar background, someone who understood the issues left over from the experience of being a jw.
