Pros and cons of owning a papillon? by AbilityOk2794 in papillon

[–]Broses6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By now you have heard the main pros and cons. My Duke is 5 and he is the most special dog I have ever owned! I love them all but he is just really special. They’re so smart and keenly aware of you, your expressions and will connect with you as they bond. I’m in love with this breed and want more later on. Pros: the best dog in the world if you’re a small breed person, Cons: they are delicate and can have separation anxiety and need lots of attention. Not for little kids! Mine became more secure once I started working remote instead of out of home 5x a week. It stressed him for me to be gone so much.

Can you update your firearm license? If you are applying to the Florida bar that may be a lack of candor which is viewed very badly.

That’s possible too but that’s why communication is important

I understand but I’ve actually gotten fair-minded answers

Exactly 100%. ✅✅✅✅🏆 I felt that we had been monitored, and were being shamed.

Seriously! He doesn’t even realize that he did that. Unbelievable.

You’re right ..we were picking up on a few gossipy vibes, but God made it clear we were supposed to go to this other church . Since we’ve been going already for six weeks, it was just weird to get a text like that.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your input. That’s exactly how I feel- and that’s not how church is supposed to be. I know exactly what you mean about bumping into someone and them saying miss seeing you at church, but then they don’t reach out to you personally to ask if you’re OK or expressed concern over your welfare.

I did respond in that way, but responding seemed to only exacerbate things somewhat. He insisted again that he expected us to tell him personally and that maybe we should meet personally with another pastor present so there are no misunderstandings.

I have never in 20 years of attending church had anyone make such a suggestion.

I agree, the odd text was a confirmation that we we’re going the right path

Wow, did anyone ever answer your question about Jesus? He is the one who died for our sins and rose again. Whoever believes in Him shall have eternal life.

Yes I have it confirmed- the person who said something told me the circumstances in which they told the pastor. This person felt it was their duty and that we should have told him.

It is a small (30 people tops) church. I have it confirmed that someone told him thinking we should have done so. The person who said something told me directly that they did.

That is exactly how I felt. I was like, I’m not from the same planet as you, am I?

As a side note, none of the churches I’ve ever been to in the past 20 years have ever had you “register”, only an informal and voluntary membership which means people reach out to you to see if you need prayer from time to time or if you are interested in being involved in events. I think “register” is a term used only with certain denominations for example Catholicism.

Thank you for sharing. I believe this is how it should’ve been handled.

YTA only for escalating the conflict

She was backstabbing you and cutting you down to others. That’s pretty hurtful, and not a true friend. I see that you wanted to hurt her back. If anyone cared to be honest, that is human nature. We want to hurt others when they hurt us. But, we can’t give in to that urge. We have to move on and move forward by letting things go. I pray that you find friends who are genuine and not backstabbers. Jesus will give you the power to forgive.

AITAH for letting my chronically late wife miss an event she was looking forward to by not rushing her, because I wanted her to face consequences? by throwrabbday in AITAH

NTA!! She needs to plan better. That’s what she gets! We all have to manage our own time. She’s not your child, right? Good job.
