  How are they convinced that armageddon is around the corner???

  by milligal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just read another thread about the co changes and plans for upcoming persectution.

  i can speak for america and say that out constitution is based on religious freedom-this is the same constitution the society hides behind in all of their 'champion' court cases where they defend their right to go in the door to door ministry.

  this country is sooooo far from turning against any religion, that we are even allowing terrorist religions to remain as long as they don't act against anyone (please no thread hijacking about that : ).. how in god's name do the jw's think the government is going to turn against religion and start persecuting them, and armagedon is to follow -right 'around the corner'????.

  i really need to share this story and it's in hopes someone else finds it enlightening or helpful....i know there are a lot of other people out there who have 'difficult' kids and get the third degree from teachers, relatives and friends.

  here's my story, how my family worked through two huge challenges, the symptoms, the diagnoses and the practical tasks that helped us:.

  my son with autism-my oldest son was an angel at home, quiet, loved to draw and from a yound age would spend hours drawing and painting.

  "don't worry everyone will get theirs at armagedon"

  by milligal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was written in a letter to me from one of my active jw brothers (biological brother).

  he was referencing the ex-husbands of myself and my other df'd sister, both of whom have been guilty of 'slipping under the radar' (an elder's words) by doing such silly things as getting arrested for spousal abuse and stealing a vehicle....they're both still in good standing.

  i digress, let me say that i was shocked to hear from my brother.

  Preschooling at home any good sources or guidelines?

  by milligal in

  1. social
  2. family

  this year my husband and i decided to keep our 4 year old home to preschool him at home.

  partly because of expense and frankly because the area we live in is not known for a strong school system or high standards : ( so i am going to tackle this, but if i am going to do it i want to do it right.

  i do have some background in child psychology and early childhood development, but i am wondering if anyone has done this before me and has any advice or resources.

  Hold them accountable but with human decency

  by milligal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently i wrote, and re-wrote (and re-wrote and...you get the picture) a letter to my entire family 8 living siblings, 5 of them jw and my witness parents one of whom believes himself to be anointed.

  before sending it i asked my older sister who is also df'd like me, to critique it.

  she decided that she would like to add her name to the letter also, a little more bang for the buck coming from two of us.

  One American on International Politics

  by milligal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems the entire world feels that americans are not only ignorant of international events but also void of any sense regarding their own politics.

  after reading one spicey thread on the topic of our apparent unwitting density i had a couple things to say.

  (parental discretion advised for political incorrectness):.

  Homosexualtiy and morality

  by milligal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you ever wonder why 'men of god' were allowed to have concubines and use prostitutes in the old testament,and being told by your jw elder or study conductor something like: 'god's will was to fill the earth, so he allowed men to have more than one wife or concubine to fulfill his purpose...' ?.

  then by this same reasoning why would god have a problem with homosexuality at this point in time-the earth has been filled, in fact it's almost too full in some areas.

  so doesn't homosexuality now make sense....consistently speaking?
