Saying "hi" leads to love and leaving your wife...
by kitties_and_horses_oh_my! ini've been struggling so much with some old programming that i truly feel is from the witnesses, and my father in particular.
he always told me men and women couldn't be friends -- unless they were married or related -- because they'd fall in love with each other and leave their mates.
that's why you could only be friends with your own gender and were never allowed to be alone with someone of the opposite sex, even in a car.

Parents Refusing Life-Saving Blood Transfusions
by kitties_and_horses_oh_my! ini'm in a speech class in college and would like to make full use of it to expose jw's as much as possible, but in a respectable manner that won't get me in trouble with the professor.
i've decided to speak on whether or not it's okay for parents to refuse life-saving medical treatment for their children.
i was interested in what particular arguments hold the most weight with you.

Overeaters Anonymous
by kitties_and_horses_oh_my! inhas anyone here joined oa or any of its sister organizations?
i know i'm a compulsive eater - i can remember sneaking food when i was 8 or 9 years old, and it's just gotten worse from there on out.
i went to my first oa meeting last saturday and have (amazingly) managed to remain "abstinent" (three meals a day with nothing in between) for almost the entire week.

Disgusting: Torture of live chickens at Tyson
by kitties_and_horses_oh_my! inplease look at the following link:.
i'm not a big peta supporter - i think they too often only tell one side of the story - but if you read virgil butler's statement i think you'll find there aren't too many ways to look at the situation that would put it in a good light.
dry ice bombs shoved up a chicken's rectum so it would blow apart, chickens scalded to death in so much pain that their eyes pop out of their heads, live chickens having their wings and legs ripped off by sadistic employees - it makes me sick.

Urgent Legal Help Needed: Asylum for a Minor
by kitties_and_horses_oh_my! ini'm going to be very vague and stick to just the most essential details (for reasons you will see):.
i am aware of a 17 year old (parents are dubs, he doesn't want to be but is forced to go to mtgs) who has been suicidal and asked a friend to come and get him from his home.
he left a note to his parents saying he is safe, etc., but his parents are already fairly sure of where he is.

Are you patriotic?
by kitties_and_horses_oh_my! intonight my husband and i watched the fireworks for the 4th of july.
i've never done this before, save for occasionally peering out of my window as a child hoping to see a few.
tonight was wonderful - beautiful, fun, and there were tons of people there who were behaving themselves at least as well as people behave at assembly.
