i hope this is the correct category..... since pets are kinda sorta like "family", anyway..... a friend of mine (who lives about 25 miles away, in the center of the city) recently lost her beloved six-year-old spayed female daschund doggie under very tragic circumstances.. her other dog, an eight-year-old neutered male daschund, has been inconsolable since her loss.
so my friend decided to adopt another small dog - a spayed female daschund - one that was rescued from a breeder..... this poor little dog has lived in a cage for her entire life!!!
all six years of her life - in what was, in effect, a doggie concentration camp.... she is not "socialized" in any way, shape or form.
I'm sooooooo happy Emmie is doing better. She IS really smart and I'm sure very appriciative of being out that horrific situation.
It's quite a challenge to hold them down when they're crazy excited like that, however, that's the point. While holding them down, belly rubs also calms and is a good seditive.
Keep us updated....
i haven't attended the meetings on a regular basis,since about 2008. a meeting period in about 2 years.. .
probably 6 months ago i ran into a brother, whom was working at a local grocery store.
he was making a delivery as a vendor,somehow we got to talking,religion came up and he found out i am a jw, though i told hime i no longer attend.
However, I do wonder at times. And you know why? Because the WTS is falling apart and the GB has turned into an evil slave class.......

the only REAL sense of urgency the GB is feeling, is that they are loseing grip on followers. The good ol scare staright tactic to keep some in.

hello, I've had dogs most my life and have trained many as well.
This type of pet needs serious patience. Untrained animals have loop behavior. They attach a certain behavior to emotion, situation, behavior.
For instance. When you walk into a door, emotion fills the dog. The dog will next attach that excited emotion to a behavior. If he is allowed to jump up you when you walk into the door, he will continually associated the emotion to the act. However, there is a technique to change it. What to do is while the animal is behaving in an unwanted excitable fashion, you hold them down, until it goes into a calm, relaxed, state and keep it in that state for a few minutes, the release it in that calm state.
When your friend takes her dog out, she should stand at the doorway with the dog and hold it, while letting it go through it's wild emotional state until it calms down. Onces it's calm, she can release the dog in a calm state. If it starts running around the yard. While in the yard, again she should hold the dog down in they yard until it again reaches a calm state. It will start associating a more balanced emotional state. She should continue this until the dog stops.
The dog whisper Cesar Milan is an amazing.... http://www.cesarsway.com/..........he is top in his field and I have used many of this techniques with my dogs and have always worked.
Also, when a dog has a change of diet, like switching one brand of food to another, they will have bowel issues. You need to incoroprate the new food slowly added a little at a time with the old food until it is fully incorporated. However, if you don't know what it was eating before, then it will be natural for the dog to have poop issurs until it digestion is used to the new food. Some dogs also have allergies, so if problems continue, that could also be something to consider. With some dogs the best food is table food and can in the long run be a cheaper option as well as healthier for them. Boiled chichen with rice and small veggies are a suggestion.
i just want to know out of interest how many here still believe in god and christ and that the bible is god's word.
my faith in the wts is gone but i still love god and his son.
i've noticed that many here have lost their faith in god as well as the wts.
Yikes....as you can see....I'm perfectly imperfect in grammer and spelling....

At this point I don't believe in a black or white mentality because the Universe within itself is not as such. There is much we still do not know.
When you learn to have critical thinking, anything, is possible.
When you look at the bible with spiritual and scientific sensiblitites you see a whole other life taking place on it's own. I think there are deep universal codes within its stucture.
My therory (for now) is, I believe man has evolved from a certain form of bacteria from the earths waters. Therefore, I'm enitally from dust. Life was breathed into this bacteria from it's initial sorce. As man evolved, an ego evolved which is where man has became lightened with certain intellect. So I believe in evolution, but I also believe in a god. The first man with this new intellegence, wasn't really all the intellient in the begining. And as you can see from our behaviors we are still base creatures that need certain guidance. Indigenous people that have had no contact with the outside world, create there own core values, much like the bible to keep themselves in line.
Since we are from an original source. I do believe though man wrote this book called the bible there are some core universal codes within it's sturcture that are benefical to mankind.
Now as far as some becoming athiest. I personally believe that the psyche of each indiviual is varied. Some don't believe has relief from guilt. Some because of information that one has sencerly has gathered. Others out of anger. You can make as many estimations as one likes, again, it's not all that black n white...you can assume as much as your intelligence allows you too...but it still doesn't make it correct.

Yup...I believe in God/All That Is, and Jesus. The bible is a book of history and metaphors. I don't blieve the GB or WTS has a grasp of God, the historical Christ and Apostles nor the bible it self.
I've been out for a little over 20 years. I don't go to any church.
i have been fading for 6 months but my wife is still in and always asks me to pray at dinner and when i put the little ones to bed but i am finding prayer to be more of a pretense than heartfelt.
i have to pray for the sun or the earth but why thank him for the food, hell thank me for going to work everyday .who put us in the house we live in, god?
its really hard for me to pray for anything anymore as i have an anger toward him and dont want anything to do with a future (mythical)paradise under his control, so why ask for it?.
EA even though I'm out, I've haven't stop believing in God. Studying a bit on quantum realities/quantum mechanics has made me still have a open mind on this thought. Through personal experience, I have been in some pretty dire situations, prayed, and some crazy help has always arrived. I thank him for the good and ask for help with the bad. God may not be how we understand this figure to be....
And don't anyone give me shit about this...
once again, this was a real " jewel " of a study article by the wt society full of contradictions , controlling expressions , and manipulative wording in order to take away jehovah's witnesses free will and freedom of mind .. initially the wt society makes it appear that they are " concerned " about witnesses actually keeping the " peace " between themselves.
