Why Lady "C" and JT have no Kids- WT Style (page 2)

jwbot

If only the ladies in my parents congregation took that advice. Once one of them got married...4 more weddings to come. Then one gets pregnant, and we have 4 more pregnant couples. It was a very weird competition. A stupid housewife competition. They all married losars of men with bad (or no) jobs, but they were bethelites...then the women decide to quit their jobs to be better wives, and they are so happy (sarcasm). Fortunately, my sister, who actually quit highschool to get married and be a good wife, realized she made a mistake and got her GED and then her associates degree. She was making more than her husband, and then for some reason, she quit her job again...I don't get it. At least her 2 babies are doing ok, I sure wish I could see them though :(

My overzealous ex-inlaws had four children. They were born in 1961, 1965, 1977 & 1979. Does anyone notice the interesting "gap" during the time period leading up to 1975?

Tis exactly the reason why my wife and I (both 33 years old) don't have any youngens

Hey pal, I'm on the bandwagon with everyone else, get busy, have kids. My wife was 38 when our last one was born. That little girl had us involved in her school life, going to football games, riding on yellow school buses as a band sponser. Believe me, if you take part in all of these activities you will be a better man. If surgery has stopped you from having kids, adopt.

JT,

This is another one of those issues I can't talk to my JW siblings about. Two of them have elected not to "bring children into this system", even while they dote on my son. I see it in their eyes, the wonder, the indecision, the yearning. They would deny to their death that the society ever "recommended" that they not have children, they would say it was their own decision. However, I remember clearly the last assembly I ever attended not only said this was not the time to have children, the speaker also said it was not time to worry about getting married. That was the last time I ever went to one of their brain washing sessions assemblies, and I will NEVER go back.

I have one son with me, and one daughter in heaven, and would love to have another child. However, my body does not seem to handle child bearing very well, and I honestly could not live through losing another child, so we will probably adopt within the next 3 to 5 years. Children are so much joy, and there are so many who need a loving home. If you really want children, JT, please at least consider this option. It's not for everyone, but it may fill a place in your hearts.

Thanks for these reprints, and good luck in whatever you decide is best for you.

JT: Man, you are some profound thinker!

This excellent essay nails the whole concept. From not having kids to 1975 to not going to college, the WTS has an infamous track record of twisted pronouncements that allow them to impact people's lives and deny they said it, all at the same time!

No brainwashed JW can read this and deny it's true. These guys are masters at deceipt and deception. And like you I was a society man who supported it all vehemently. There must be a special place in hell for us, unless there is no such place. (If they're right about ONE thing, please God, let it be that).

JT:

.....or they are in the field shooting for the Traveling Work, so they have not had any kids waiting to get that letter from the service desk-
a number of them have been on the SUB_CO list for years just waiting to get a permanent asssigment so they will refuse to have kids, buy a house, decent car, or get into any debt that REG FOLKS GET INTO because one is required to be able to close all thier debt in 30days-

Soooo there's a waiting list. Some years ago I heard that the society was getting worried because not many were interested in the circuit work and the current CO's were getting old and nobody to replace them.... I guess it's not as bad as I heard.

AT CROSS PURPOSES:

"It is obvious, to us all, that was just further drivel about "1975" But the WTBTS has been espousing that excremental diatribe since 1925 in one form, and at one time or another.

They denounce abortion, while they "seriously discouraged" childbearing, a commandment to the original human couple."

Yet they sort of frown on Birth Control, at times. You can't have it both ways!!! Oh, but wait, a disingenuous False Prophet CAN HAVE IT BOTH WAYS

IN DENIAL:

"if she is still a jw she will DENY EVERY BEING UPSET and that is what makes this religion so dangerous, most jw will deny deny such an atmosphere ever exisiting in the organization, but for those of us who leaved it we merely smile as a jw tries to deny what we all know was the case"

You said it, James!!! JW's: the religion in DENIAL!!

Hey James,

The first thing I thought of when I read your subject line was..."Want one of mine?"

But I know what you're writing about - my mil was silently condemned when she got pregnant in '48. The "time was so short" there was no time for having babies. And when she had another two years later.....she was viewed as unspiritual.

Why that woman has stayed so many years, I don't understand. Many of the locals has been so cruel to her.

Same old stuff:

My grandmother told my Mom she would never graduate school in this system, or get married and have kids.

My Mom told me the same.

I thought it but never said it to my kids.

I now have grandchildren and I will never say it or think it.

Too bad we just can't be Christians without stupid dates.

Hi JT & Lady C

My grandmother almost had a conniption (sp?) when I got pregnant with my first child. Just gave birth to bambino number 4 in July. I know so many Bethelites, especially guys that are stuck there for life unless they want to come home and make minimum wage. Most of them will never have children.

It's not too late for you guys! If you don't want to put Lady C through the physical tortures of carrying a child, there are so many children that need good homes. Adoption is a beautiful thing.

Totally off the topic, but JT did you know that Shirley was in the hospital? I'm pretty sure she's out now. I may be in your neck of the woods in a few months. My in-laws are expecting a baby.
