Exercise this GOD-GIVEN RIGHT, and see where it gets you.
If all else fails, take the kid on a long ride to the store and say you forgot about the meeting tonight!
...with my mom!
a) grab his left arm tightly while my mom grabs his right arm, with me saying, "over my dead body!"?.
b) not even care, since i would like one evening without hearing, "mine!

two weeks ago all sunday meetings were cancelled in the shirley area here on longisland ny.
a elder meeting was held with the co. my aunt a jdub has informed me that all 4 congregations have had over 7 disfellowshippings in the past month and about 2 dozen since the beginning of the year.
it seems that many of the youth are having sex and allowed to do what ever they want.
And, for that ONE Sunday, they all got to sleep late, kids got to watch nickelodeon, read the sunday funnies, and live life like REAL PEOPLE! What a blessing from Jehovah!

i have a son who is in th 4th grade.
he is a "bigger boy"......his father is 6'2" and i am 5'10".
james is very tall for his age and is also slightly overweight.
scootergirl:
I feel so sorry for your son. This is just advice from a Mom, not a professional. I suggest you go to the very top. See the principal of the school. Bullying should not be tolerated. I know in the schools in our area, if a kid is found to be a bully, strict punishments are inforced, and family is notified. They don't mess around with bullying other kids, not since the violence in schools in the past years.
I hope you find the help you need. All the best to your son.

today.... my lil sweetie is turning 1~ .
isn't a birth of a child such a wonderful blessing!!
something everyone should get to celebrate!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BABY DAISEY!!
I loved those early years with my kids. Such good memories. Can't wait for grandchildren! I hear that you can have the fun, give them back to Mom and Dad, and still get a good nights sleep!
Take care.

from my youngest days, i remember being told that we should be careful because of the demons.
they are everywhere, just waiting to pounce on us.
we were told to stay away from windchimes since they "attract" the demons.
I personally was never obsessed or "possessed" by the demon world. But, I heard some really good stories at gatherings with other witnesses. Some of these stories sounded like they came straight from the "twilight zone." I guess they thought they were something of a celebrity to know others who were plagued by demons or were being visited by them themselves! The stories of demons entering objects and bothering people who bought them unknowingly at flee markets and such, just really sounded STUPID!
Daily, I taunt the demon world to come and show me how to make a really good "devil's food cake!" I could always use a good recipe!

i was talking to my sister yesterday, who spent the weekend with our still active parents.
over the weekend, they all had dinner with another couple, who were sharing some of the "latest news.
" i am getting this second hand, but my sister is excellent at remembering exactly what was said.
Announcing with a frantic expression on his face, 'NEW LIGHT, NEW LIGHT", AND "EVERYONE ELSE SAT THERE AND NODDED IN AGREEMENT.", and all those in attendence agreed and the assimilation was complete.
AND, IF AND WHEN they announce the witnessing is complete, and shut the doors of the "ark", I guess Jehovah will then KILL all the remaining billions of people on the earth, including babies, children, men, and women just because they are not JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, I was once one of the assimilated!
"ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM," and you, too, can share in these wonder events to SOON TO OCCUR!

Xandria:
I am so sorry about your Aunt. You will be in my thoughts. Take care.
Mrs. Shakita
where else can you go to ask 6000+ people their view on things?
at the push of a button?
and to top it all, almost all of these people ( like me ) have been affected by the wbts in some way!.
Willdabeerman:
Welcome. You're right, this is a great place. I have found that sometimes people don't always agree, but that is what makes it so great! You can agree to disagree, and still keep on posting! Wait, I have to stop now to go find another thread.........................
Mrs. Shakita
i am not sure where i stand with god anymore.
my questions about his presence, or lack of, never seem to satisfy me.
is it important?
dantheman:
"Did God talk to you?" No. And I haven't met anyone who has talked to God. If you meet one before I do, please let me know. I'll send over the nice men with the white jackets.
Mrs. Shakita
could someone please have a look and perhaps post a picture from the nov 8th awake.
i have been told that the picture was taken during a convention and a young person is giving the 'finger' at the time the photo was snapped.
i do not have access to the mag but it would be interesting to see if something like that was allowed to slip through.
Now, Ashi, be good! You really have to get over being the only one that Mom did not breastfeed! They always say that breastfed kids are healthier than bottle, but you were my healthiest baby!!! Ashi loved his ba-ba's.
