Little Matthew at the Kingdom Hall
by pennycandy inwhen my oldest child was about three we were in a kingdom hall with quite a few kids.
my son was frequently brought to the back room, not for a spanking, but to stretch his legs and take a break.
later diagnosed with adhd, he could not sit quietly if his life depended on it.

2 witness rule
by pennycandy ina few months ago i read a terrific refutation of the 2 witness rule.
i don't remember if it was a post on this forum or an article on another website, but i'd love to find it again.
it showed scriptually and logically how deut 19:15 has been inappropriately applied, especially to child abuse cases.

Pea up his nose!
by pennycandy inhas this happened to anyone else's kids?
my 18 month-old is the only one of my three to ever do this.. he actually stuck 3 of them up there, but i squished the first one out then pulled out the 2nd one with tweezers.
but i can barely see another one way back.

What does "having problems" mean in JWland?
by pennycandy ini'm off to visit my jw family for the weekend.
i've been fading for about five years, so our visits are always kinda like walking in a minefield.
anyway, i've been thinking about my friend r. r and i met and started studying in 7th grade and she is the only person i can say i directly "brought" into the org.
