  I'll never settle for vanilla again

  as he stood in the ice cream parlor, johnny waas perplexed, dismayed, and somewhat irritated.

  all his life he had only had vanilla ice cream.

  his parents had never bought anything else, in fact they usually made it themself.

  Letter From Whitney's Mother

  just saw this on google news.

  link to letter here.. .

  dear family, i want to tell you that although this has been the worst of my lifes tribulations, that i am still standing.. the obvious reason is that jehovah is the faithful keeper of promises holding to his word that never, would his great love allow his precious children to be tested beyond what we could bear.

  Broken Promises

  The mother is in the denial mode of her grief.

  In time, she will start asking questions, and she might not be so happy to defend the god who allowed her daughter to go through that nightmare on Oct 16.

  My compassion goes out to the family, but in time they will have to come to terms with their grief. It all takes time.

  Cognitive behaviour therapy is a way of helping a person to look at their problems in a different light compared to how they have been.

  It's usually the first type of therapy treatment psychologists will try with a depressed patient. They will also determine if you need anti-depressants.

  A good therapist will talk you through the issues you have. It's not something that will cure you overnight. It takes time, depending on how depressed you are and the issues you have.

  Family Worship Night... ugh. How about this..?

  by Muddy Waters in

  2. friends

  i now can't imagine anything more boring and stilted and stupifying than the way the wts instructs people to train and teach their children.. .

  we're to sit at a table with one of their horrid, boring, dry, frightening publications.

  read a paragraph, look up a scripture or scripture snippet, then ask the question.. .

  Your family worship night sounds like fun.

  Welcome Good JW, though I think your fellow JWs might not think of you as so good anymore!

  The WT proves again that it does not understand Child Psychology

  by Christ Alone in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i posted this elsewhere, but wanted to create a thread about this specifically.

  here is one way that i think the wt is absolutely wrong in it's advice on raising children:.

  in the 1/13 awake they talk about mistakes that parents make with their children.

  Thanks, though I was quoting Christ Alone's words so he deserves commendation for his grades too.

  And yes, I was of the generation that was dissuaded from taking up further education. My teachers wrote comments like "will do very well in university" but I knew it was an impossibility.

  I managed to do ok with my work career, but I decided to do something in my life that I always wanted to do, so now I am doing a diploma course in counselling, with the aim of achieving that Bachelors Degree that was denied to me all those years ago.
