"On the other hand, there are few studies that analyse the maintenance of social parent-child relation via telephone or the Internet, which could explain whether preteen children do not feel having lost “safe object of attachment” when they communicate from a distance. Michael Murray (2003) points out that social relation with a preteen child is not broken (in this case, the object of attachment) if it is maintained via telephone or Internet."
"In cases when children were fostered by grandparents and both of parents were working in a foreign country, i.e. when, according to the theory, the object of attachment had changed, children should have experienced more difficulties that those who stayed with their parents. However, the Crosstabulation analysis revealed no differences between parents’ and grandparents’ answers, i.e. children who were left with their grandparents encounter similar problems as those who stayed with parents."

Here are some interesting pages on the subject:
"Reyes said that several studies showed how migration of parents is indeed heart-breaking for children, making them long for parental care, get confused over gender roles, be vulnerable to abuse, and even develop consumerist attitudes."

I clicked the link.
It does contain the footnote. Just click the asterisk on paragraph 9 and it takes you to:
"^ par. 9
Reports from various countries indicate that living apart from a mate or children in order to work abroad is a factor that for some has contributed to serious problems. These include infidelity on the part of one or both mates, homosexuality, or incest, and among children, increased behavioral and academic problems, aggression, anxiety, depression, or suicidal tendencies." -

Protect the elderly
by defender of truth inthis weeks km is telling elders to arrange for group studies with people in local nursing homes, with instructions on how to word things when speaking to the directors etc.. they are clearly trying to get to people who may not be entirely able to think for themselves or who may lack critical thinking and yet may have money to leave to them.. what can you do?.
well, if you wanted to, write a short and simple letter or email to your local care home, perhaps directly even speak to the director yourself... warn them about the brainwashing and danger of breaking up of families etc.
the km says they should identify themselves as jw's... .

Bigmac, no toy throwing involved here. If you read the responses, the overall tone is 'not gonna happen' or 'I'm not worried'. That is what I was talking about, not the lack of posts. I guess it's no big deal, maybe I just care about elderly people and got a bit overhyped.
I mean come on, I even wrote a letter and posted it as a template for others, not even one person has commented on it or thought it a good idea. Nothing I do makes any difference, but that's fine. Sorry to have annoyed you. Yeah, UK. -

I can't scan, sorry. This is from the UK kingdom ministry. I think they already do it in the states?

Theists, why does God allow suffering..
by The Quiet One in..specifically, the suffering of animals.
you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.
i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

"When many die in an earthquake it is due to a natural mechanism that allows life to exist on earth, which also allows many to enjoy aspects of life."
SERAPHIM, Why did God create the world in a way that required the random and senseless destruction of earthquakes? How have the countless species made extinct by disease or natural disasters benefited from God's method? -

How widespread is it, would you say, in your country?
And yes, that is how it STARTS, according to the KM.
Innocuous bible reading, my book of bible stories perhaps, then if someone has questions they are told to arrange a seperate individual Bible Study to answer them..away from the group.
Some in our KH were talking about maybe holding studies with people in their rooms. Even if it was all done publicly, there will be plenty of elderly ones without clear thinking abilities who can be 'encouraged' to come to meetings, 'do more' and so on.
The KM stated that one group had 20 people, and 1 got baptised, with 6 of them having Studies! That's roughly a third of that particular group of vulnerable people who were brainwashed, and one converted, because of something that likely started with bible stories and trivia.
Ok, I give up. Nobody gives a damn, I get it.. -

Seraphim said: "When it comes to animals, I would certainly agree that an animal couldn't enjoy its life without the possibility of dying of cancer generally speaking, because mutation of cells is one way evolution works."
What kind of a God would require His creation to go through so much pain and horrific deaths, in order to develop? An incompetent one or a callous one?
