  Children or no Children?

  by Sirona in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jws used to always have discussions about whether to have children "in this system of things".. i used to always think it was pathetic to avoid having kids because of the so-called impending armageddon.. however.

  despite the fact that i've always wanted kids, right now i'm not so sure.

  just look at the things happening in the world.

  It will take some time. But, I can guarantee you that if you occupy your time correctly, you will forget her and get to love again somebody else with the same or more intensity.

  I speak from experience. Sorry you have to experience this heartbreak.

  Suitable careers for JW children to aim for!

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the october the 1st watchtower has interesting views on the education of jw children.. page 30, in which one jw explains how he ended up in ft service says:.

  'we did not associate with our school mates but only with those in the congregation who had good spiritual habits.'.

  interesting as this shows judgmentalism and criticism 'even' in the jw congregation.. then on page 31 it explains how parents must offer their children, as early as possible, proper guidance in their choice of school subjects and vocation goals.. 'rather than choose academic subjects that are geared toward a university education, parents and children need to consider courses that are useful in pursuing a theocratic career.'.

  They really favor trades schools, or something that could be learned outside of going away to college (4 years).

  Although, lately, there's this trend of allowing/encouraging young ones to choose a short career. Going to a close by community college.

  The more educated/affluent JWs still do send their children to 4-year colleges, although they try by all means to keep the son/daughter living at home where they can have control.

  Have you ever got up in the middle of a meeting, bored, and just left?

  by JH in

  i did it many times.

  first of all, let me say that just about every meeting i attended was a sacrifice for me.

  i was a follower, not more.

  Once.

  I used the excuse of having stomach upset. Good thing I had driven my own vehicle to the meeting.

  I stayed like 35 mins into the meeting and then out of the blue said in my mind "screw this!!!" got up and walked out.

  Driving home it felt good.

  The Country of Niger... A Call To Reason

  i see the pictures of this starving country and it's a appalling and saddening to see the sea of children in this tragedy.. having said that, what the heck are these people thinking bringing into the world all these children to starve to death???!!!.

  along with food, why not also send enough health professionals to educate them about reproduction and its consequences in the midst of their horrible situation???!!!

  I care. However, while the going is tough perhaps they should abolish further reproduction or make some sort of 'only 1 child allowed' mandate.

  Desperate times require desperate measures.
