we went swimming today, and joined up in the gym.
we will go every week on a sunday, and i will go alone twice a week.
i found it particularly easy to get involved with the other gym members in the suana, or playing with our kids in the pool.. we had a really great time, we even had reading time by the pool.
Hi Kate, I'm dealing with some of the same things with my 4 and 7 year old. A couple of books i've found helpful they are on amazon.
1. Parenting from the inside out. How a deeper understanding of self can help you raise children who thrive. by Daniel Seigel.
2. Things I want my daughters to know. By Alexander Stoddard.
Kids emulate what they see their parents doing. One thing a therapist told me recently. Kids are pretty forgiving if they know that their parents truly love being parents.
Best,
after waking up and wanting to get out of this nightmare, the word apostate is really bothering me.
if i quitely become inactive, fade away will i just be looked at as "always weak".
i want to scream out how big a fool i was.. and now telling my poor young daughter how wrong i was to bring her up as a jw.
Thats funny. Because i told my kids just this morning driving them to school. "I'm that guy your grandma and your mom warned you about. I'm that guy they told you to get away from. I'm that guy who will help you do anything you want in this world. See anything you want in this world. Meet talk to and break bread with anyone you want in this world. I'm that guy who will help you be a social animal and have more friends than you ever imagined. I'm the guy who will help you play, do , think, say, and experience anything you want in this world. I'm that guy. The guy that your grandma and your mom is so afraid of. Be very afraid...."
just wondering on whether jwn gets more newbies that the wts gets bapstisms?
are there any statistics?.
this site's newbies usually lurk for a month or two, with no interaction with us.
Where are all the people.

last night we had our midweek meeting.
the bible reading was from "who is doing jehovah's will....the part where they asked who was the fds.
i thought because of the past sept. wt, every hand would go up....all you heard were crickets.
Fell off the wrong turnip truck.

" the last time she was a part of cohen's life, carolynn ivey weighed less than 2 pounds and desperately needed a lifesaving blood transfusion despite the religious objections of her parents.. cohen, then a young pensacola attorney, was tapped by the escambia county circuit court to become temporary guardian to give legal consent for the transfusions for carolynn and her twin sister, julia, the pensacola news journal reports.
that shit just makes my asshole burn.
the wt conductor in my ex-kh was such a jerk-off.
when i used to answer up, he just called me by my first name instead of "sister chickenhead", or whatever.
the only person he did that to was me, in a kh of about 80, or so.
Thank you sister chickenhead!
what would you say are the best questions to ask a jw which they will not be able to answer and may make them question their beliefs?.
what (if you are a former jw) made you question the "truth"?.
WTF is wrong with you!
is the governing body defaming god's name?.
doesn't the claim to be "spirit-directed" and to be "jehovah's organization", to only turn around and spread falsehood (aka old light), actually indirectly call god a liar?.
.
Jehovah witnesses are a lying sack of crap.
Don't be a lying sack of crap....
we've all heard the old saying:.
any job worth doing is worth doing right the first time.. but, this would not seem to apply in the only organization on earth claiming to be solely guided by jehovah!.
in the watchtower society, the governing body gathers in a board room and prays, discusses and votes.. presumably the prayer invokes holy spirit of jehovah.
Babylon Babylon Blah Blah Blah.
I have absolutely no idea what babylon is and i have survived 50 years of my life in my ignorant bliss.
I don't have any clue of this nonsense.
You might as well go to the top of the mountain and scream.
JEHOVAH WITNESS HAVE ABSOLUTE SHIT FOR BRAINS!!!
SHIT FOR BRAINS!!!
I SAY!!!
SHIT FOR BRAINS!!!
THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY.
my dad heard from the co who heard from a do that heard from his brother-in-law that heard from the friend of a governing body's wife, that the gb is getting very concerned that "the friends" are losing sight of the nearness of the panda-petting paradise.
many of these friends are also looking too critically at the "spiritual food" provided by the "faithful slave class.".
don't tell anyone else, but i hear that the gb has begun testing something new on some of the sheeple.
