And another thing, alot of times, children learn the words they use from their parents. I really hope your daughter in law has stopped and taken a look at her behavior before being so hard on her kids.

SIT DOWN AND BE STILL!

members of the christian congregation can do much to be of support to both the child with adhd and the parents.
by being reasonable in their expectations.

My Goodness, CQA1:
That is absolutely heartbreaking! I can't imagine seeing your own grandchild getting treated like that and having your hands tied to a certain extent. I really hope all is going well with your grand children where they are now.

To quote the awake!:
", those who are related in the faith should strive to show "fellow feeling" and to 'bestow a blessing."
Now what the hell is THAT supposed to mean...."bestow a blessing". Ummm, yeah, the good ole GB seems to be very well read on the disorder and is giving it's usual "fine counsel". LOL
Seriously, the JWs are a little spank happy IMO. When my mother first became a JW, (we were small children), an older woman from the hall told her that once we start acting up, she should get up and smack our little asses right away. As soon as my mother stood up, she was told not to sit back down until the mission was complete.
During one meeting, she had to take my sister to the bathroom and whack her ass EIGHT friggin' times before the meeting was over. Hmmmm, come to think of it, my sister has a pretty big ass....Maybe it's from scar tissue...LOL

GB says NO SPORTS for JWs??!!WHAT??HUh?!!

Although the counsel not to get involved in certain sports is listed in the awake magazine, I think it is up to a person's conscience (to a degree).
I knew many JWs that went Whitewater Rafting and scubadiving and nothing was said to them. I also know of a Witness who allows her daughter to play on the school's basketball team. I think it depends on the strictness of the congregation whether a stink is made about it or not.

QUESTION: will the WTS ever fall? if so, how?
by badwillie inmaybe some of you who have been out for many years can answer this.. do you think that the flow of people leaving the borg has been increasing?
and do you think that we will ever live to see their complete downfall?
if you do think this is a likely scenario, how do you see it unfolding?.

Yadirf:
I must say, your post was very interesting and educational, but I'd like to make one suggestion. If you want people to listen to what you have to say, please avoid saying things such as:
"Although apostates prefer not to believe it of course (because, though having eyes, they can’t see)"
Saying the above tends to divert a person's attention from the point you are making to the nasty insult you make. The only thing people will remeber is what a dick head you are (no offense). It's human nature. So if you are hear to help, please try being a bit more polite.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses evil?
by SexyTeen ini am shocked at the many accusations against jehovah's witnesses in this forum.. i know that i am young, but most of my family are jws and they are good people and i love them.
even my worldly family is very nice and i do not shun them.
the friends in the hall are very nice also.

Hi SexyTeen!!
Welcome to the board. I was curious about something you posted above. You said:
"puffsrule: You say JWs destroyed your family because your father was disfellowshipped for smoking. Was it JWs that destroyed your family, or was it your father for smoking?"
I understand the point you are trying to make. However, nowhere in the bible does it say, thou shall not smoke. I do understand that god wants us to treat our bodies right, as we belong to him. However, and this is only in my opinion, it is a little far fetched to completely cut somebody off because of this. This is where I think JWs exert too much control over peoples lives and intrude too much into one's personal business. What if puffsrule's father was the perfect Christian, but had a small addiction to smoking? Does this warrent him being cut off from the very people he's loves the most and loosing all favor with god, as the JWs teach? I think that is an imbalanced view point. But again, this only my opinion, and I'm not trying to push my opinion on you. What do think about that issue?

Again: Welcome to the board :) It's always nice to see new faces.

Where were you when you first came here?
by Xena ini noticed in a couple of threads people discussing the impact this board would have on jw's with doubts coming here and reading the messages.
it got me to wondering where most people that post here were at...what stage in their jw/ex jw process...when they started reading and/or posting here.
also curious, when you did come here what was your main focus?

I was disfellowshipped at the end of 1999, but was inactive for a few years before that. I came to this site and numerous others researching opposing JW views, before making the decision to go back or not. It was so refreshing to find people who had experienced that same things I had.
I accidentally stumbled onto the message board sometimes last year, after I had already resolved not to return to being a JW, and began posting. The effects of knowing all of you have been very positive, a downright blessing to tell you the truth.
