  One subject at a time.

  The fornication/pregnancy out of wedlock along with other 'JW-God does not approve' subjects are pretty well covered at the KH.

  Called a JW mom that has her kids in this homeschool program and she answered that the kids interacted with non-JW kids when they covered gym/sports, lab, library work with the help with a local public school and library; that these programs are created for homeschooled kids and that it works very well for either religious schools as well.

  So, the JW kids do interact with non-JW kids weekly, however, it's done in a 'supervised' manner.

  Here's the thing: These devout JW parents want their kids to grow up JW and remain JW throughout their lives. They sincerely believe is the best way for their children to live their lives.

  Yes, SL, I agree that there's a socialization disadvantage for homeschooled children. However, this type of online/real-life classroom style model of homeschooling does meet the education requirements for Public School here in the States.

  Socialization, well, that's definitely an issue.

  I believe the video was done tactfully and in good taste.

  It's a very tough subject to cover with children in this "everything goes/everything is correct as long as you're not hurting anyone" world we live in.

  The video does not incite hate/violence, just exposes how the JW God sees this lifestyle.

  i'm hooked on watching "the story of god, with morgan freeman".

  it's fascinating to watch the different faiths throughout the world, the rituals, how devout the followers are.

  mind boggling for sure!

  Watched with hubby as well and we both found it informative.

  Want to check out the CNN series regarding 'Belief' with Reza Aslan. I hear good things about it.

  Religion/Faith in all its different forms we humans just cannot get away from it! Sooo interesting!!!

  I know, and trust that these JW kids will only speak up when questioned and not make it a campaign. Tough and sad all at the same time.

  Things like this is what's making me understand why more and more JW parents decide to do homeschooling rather than mix up with the non-believers.

  There is now JW oriented homeschooling online and it's very well structured, at least here in the States. I checked it out, and was so glad to know that it meets the USA standards for public school education; actually know a couple of kids that are now taking college courses towards a 2-year degree. In this model, the kids do not waste so much time as regular kids in public/private school do when the different holidays roll around, so it's possible to graduate much earlier than a regular high school; also, there's a lot of time wasting with vague subjects that are not needed to meet the Law requirements in public high school, plus, this homeschooling method I checked emphasizes the S.T.E.M. model. parents team up and create an actual classroom while obtaining the info online; sports, laboratory, music, etc., are covered up in association with some local school or library. It's fantastic!!!

  I can honestly say that if all our kids would've had this neat tool while growing up, sure we would've used it rather than put them through the grief of not being accepted and being so different from all the non-JW school kids; much grief was endured, and so many absences to avoid the holiday celebrations at school because the JW way is such a different way of life.

  It is what it is.

  please post some comments on this news-site!

  it's not a bad piece of journalism, but there are definitely some gaps that need to be filled.

  the pro-jw apologists have already started posting on it!

  Carla,

  Other 'Christian' faiths, no all of course, do have these same issues you mentioned; so, it's not just a JW thing.

  The piece is very neutral. Liked it.

  Mid Week Meeting. The book of Job....what does this teach me about Jehovah

  by tor1500 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it me or are you having a hard time commenting on what does this week's bible reading teach me about jehovah & what points from this week's bible study reading can i use in the field ministry ?

  i'm having a hard time commenting because what does job show about jehovah....well, # 1 he allowed job's suffering, but he didn't let satan take his life.

  # 2 what scripture could one use in the field ministry regarding the book of job...talking to a householder, see if you don't behave, god's gonna get you....or allow satan to get you.

  I never raise my hand to comment on that question because my fantasy is to say "That if he's exists, he's a gigantic ASS!"

  Well.....

  It is a JW belief and, in this case, it's put in simple terms for a child to understand.

  At the beginning of the video the mother mentioned that people have different ideas on what's right and wrong, then proceeded to explain very tactfully the JW belief.

  JWs don't hate on others, but definitely the homosexual lifestyle is not at this time part of the culture; and the same way perhaps gun nuts or a radical right wingers or a racists indoctrinate their offspring, JWs do the very same on their ways.

  Actually, for JW children, this needs to be emphasized more and more these days where the homosexual lifestyle has become the norm in so many places, so much so that the Law of the land is ruling in favor.

  I feel so sorry for people whom I'm sure are born this way, but it's a JW belief and they must teach it to their young.

  It is what it is.
