i thought i'd pose a question especially (but not exclusively) for the girls regarding sexual harassment.
what would you deem as unfitting behaviour?.
is it appropriate for a guy to ask if you are wearing any panties?
Just curious, no flaming intended, really.
Why is it those not in attendance are told we shouldn't express an opinion...and yet the person telling us was not in attendance either- but sure has opinion on what the rest of us should not do; and that's express an opinion.
Good grief, charley brown

some family moved in across the street a few months ago.
i have never talked to them.
all i know about them is what the other neighbors had to say.
I hate chronic barking dogs where the owner calls them, "watch dogs," but never go outside to check as to why the barking because, "I didn't hear ..." What total idiots - until -
Just this summer we encountered the worst sort of people possible. For many reasons. In the end my husband and I threatened legal action for slander; I wrote letters to management and the owners.
Fortunetly this hill-billy {gee, no one finds that expression out of line,eh.} family moved away before they were evicted, and they were the "managers."
Document everything, especially with pictures when possible if there are chronic problems. Know your tenent/landlord [where applicable] laws. Unfortunetly though, the type of skumbags that live like we've seen, are the first to scream and yell about their rights; knowing how to work the system to their benefit because, well, .......
[not screaming, thank you] the thing that really sickens me....THEY BREED!!!! more of the same, and have full government benefits and the offspring from their "copulation" grow up to be the same low-life riff-raff....and BREED some more.

is is just me, or did every congregation have a big (as in greater than in the non jw world) problem with this?
how have some been affected?
Perhaps for the same reason gossip can become rampant anywhere. Human nature, judgement, thinking we know what the other person "needs" in their life, not liking someone for whatever reasons, and a lack of forgiveness.
And it's hardly just in the KH you'll find such behaviour.
When does gossip become slander?
granny
convince me that i'm wrong.
i am extremely disappointed with the response.
but the same thing happened during the crisis in the caribbean (haiti etc) a few months back.
Geezzzz, here in America there are families having to choose between paying their heating bill or buying food.
Do you think someone could contribute to their "relief fund" because govenment can tell those families, "you make too much money." So, dig deep folks because it's all an illusion that there are suffering families anywhere other than this current disaster area.
Birth control...nah.

Ross,
Perhaps you could ask your attorney how that situation would read into a lawsuit for sexual harrassment.

was it not jehovah?s promise to never kill humans again by means of massive floods?
i guess knocking on 100,000 deaths is just a minor slip-up.
knowing the response of jw's to the horrible situation in asia and their reasoning of it, makes me feel indescribably sick in the stomach!
The one thought that always comes to mind, after getting heartsick, is:
Do these people practice birth control?
Like other countries overrun with disease, poverty...you name it, they have families that consist of 10, 11, 12 {and more} children.
Children. It's always the children.
Sore subject with me. grrrrrr

there are so many very good organizations accepting money for tsunami victims.
world vision is a well-known organization that has been around for many years helping less fortunate people abroad.
but i won't be donating to them.
Do ya think the politicians will give up any of their goodies for helping their fellow countrymen?
I'm all for helping when possible, if that's what one choices, but how many of the "elite" will, in reality, give up anything if it means they might go without their status quo...
My husband while still in the Navy was sent into diaster areas in this country...Hugo, and I forget the other; but , the businesses that did survive raised their products to an outragiously inflated price - for instance, on water alone. The most precious community at the time.
Or how about someone that goes around from donation site to donation site gathering all the "free" goodies they can and hoarding that,while you might be going without....that lady was busted big time, thankfully.
I'm not heartless by any means, but how do the citizens of any country reach out for helping their own - while accepting so much from other countries?

Wildfire...
Gawd, when you mentioned "grandchildren" my heart just melted.
I'm so very fortunate that my only child, a son and his family, live close by.
I'm also aware that one day they will relocate...so not seeing those blessed grandchildren as often creates a deep sorrow within, but one I know I'll have to deal with.
Whatever we did/didn't do in our own children's lives...at some point we do find the courage to apologize and make an honest effort at making amend(s) for our error. It's the kids, damnit. We're not the same people our children may have known years ago. And what about the issues our grandchildren will more then likely have with their parents. And then what? The parent still blaims us, so as the grandparent we don't get to see our beloved grandchildren. That would suck, for sure.
If nothing else perhaps your letter is another means by which you can find further self-forgiveness if that is an issue with you. Like I said, when you mentioned "grandchildren" - I understand that one and wish you the best.
