The Blessings of Owning A Pet
by Sentinel inguess what?
today we went to a local pet store, where they have these homeless animals, especially kittens brought in every weekend for a few hours to be adopted out.. we got there at a bit after two, and they were packing up to leave for the day.
but, we had seen a cute kitten and the lady who takes care of these animals in transit, stayed so we could pick out the one we wanted.. mind you, this was one of those spur of the moment decisions.

A Week Later; I'm Still Confused.......
by Sentinel inwell, it's been one week since mom called to tell me that she is reverting back to a previous behavior from 1981, called "hard line shunning".
this is after some ten years now, of having communication with me in a restrictive manner.
(well, as "normal" as it could be for us anyway.

What Really Surprises Me Is............
by Sentinel in.............that jehovah's witness aren't required to wear uniforms, adults and children.
i mean, it would certainly settle the issue of who's in and who's out, because whoever wasn't attending meetings couldn't pick up their next clean uniform.
also, they would be totally visible out in public and you would always be "safe", if you associated or spoke to one who was properly uniformed.

How Did They Word It This Time?....
by Sentinel in.
for my own personal information, i was hoping that someone here could give me the outline of information of "new light" that came down recently that said that active jw's must not associate in any way, shape or form with "outsiders", like those df'd and da'd, even if they are immediate family.. my mother has just informed me that her phone call this evening was only to advise me of this information, and that i am supposed to "understand" why she has to do this.
and that this goodbye was forever, no matter what occurs in our separate lives.. i know this is killing her, but she will be the faithful dub to the end.

Please, I am so upset...I need some hugs...
by Sentinel ini am having a very difficult time and i am here right now because i know in my heart, that when i explain what has just happened to me a few minutes ago, you will understand.
many of you are no doubt going through the same thing.. within several posts here, i have spoken of my mother.
my dear sweet mother, who just turned 78, and who has been a faithful jw since 1959. she abandoned me in 1981, when i decided to leave the borg, and for twelve years she did not speak to me, write to me, call me, or visit me.

Are There More Than One?
by Sentinel ini've been reading posts for a while now, and sometimes it seems that some posters really know each other quite well.
i was thinking perhaps that they knew each other prior to coming on the forum.. how many here went to the same congregation and were friends or family?.
or how many here did not attend the same congregation at the same time, only to connect again on this forum?.

Simon, I need to know ..........
by Sentinel insimon,.
perhaps i have been the one to misunderstand the prime objective of your forum.
in the beginning i went to the orginal posts from you to get an idea of what you had in mind, and it did seem like i was in a good place and that i understood the rules and such.
