I remember the quick build in my old congregation. It was pouring rain. We spent most of our time in tents trying to stay dry.

I thought his threads were a little (for lack of a better word) "Theocratic". Sounded just like I used to when I believed the borg.

report cards
by five_crew inwe just recently moved to a new state.
where we were living, there were only 500 people, the school system was very small.
our son's kindergarten was combined with the pre-school level, which stunted the things they should have been learning.

my son is in the second grade. We moved late in the year. It is hard if the last school didn't get him where he needs to be, you have a hard time remedying that in the last quarter of the year. They are all good suggestions. I am awaiting a call back from his teacher. One good thing is that his teachers are very impressed with how hard he works and tries. How he is always smiling and his behavior is very good. So, even if his grades aren't the best at least they recognize that he is trying.

Do you lie about your age in your profile???
by frankiespeakin inwe all have to be careful about how much information we give out over the net,,it is wise and prudent in some areas,, but what about age???.
now i know many women don't like to admit they are over 29 what do you think is the percentage of correct profiles in reguards to age??.
this is private information and i don't want this to be a prying type of thread just reasonable discussion.

we just recently moved to a new state. Where we were living, there were only 500 people, the school system was very small. Our son's Kindergarten was combined with the pre-school level, which stunted the things they should have been learning. Then he went into first grade and the teacher was forced to retire, so her last year was not happy (plus they had problem children in their class). When he got into second grade this year they decided to combine first and second grades (which added more problem children). There were days when I would go and pick my son up and the teacher was screaming at one of the children because they were unruly, not listening and disobedient. Other days there would be two or three kids rolling around on the ground while the others tried to do their work. We often asked our son how hard it was to work in that environment, more than once he came home in tears because he was distracted by this and had to bring work home that he didn't know how to do. His reports and conferences always came home that he was doing great, even though we thought he was behind where he should be. Now we move to a new school, 1000 miles away. He is having a hard time because they are working on things that he never did (such as multiplication in math). No matter how much work he does at home, it doesn't seem to be enough. Now their mid-term reports came home and he is even more upset. His teacher wants to have a conference and he knows it will be bad, as of right now he is only passing 2 classes. Even though this move has been a good one, we wonder what will happen. If he is going to be held back a year because of this. I worry about what this is doing to his confidence level. Yesterday he came home and said he was the worst kid in school. He wouldn't tell me where he got that, but it worries me. When I asked him if he thought he was going to be in trouble for his report he answered no, because he knows we only expect what he can do, his best. So now, I called his teacher and of course she wasn't in school yet, so now I wait for her call, worried about my son. He is having a hard time with the work and also a hard time making friends. Out of our children, he was the last one that I worried about making friends, he is so out going and happy that people just seem naturally drawn to him, but he told us that he doesn't have anyone to play with and no friends. What is a person to do? Down where we moved, we found out that there are a lot of parents that have Methamphetamine problems. The number of kids getting taken out of homes where meth labs are found is staggering, so trying to contact the parents and try to arrange play dates is kind of hard. We can't force the other kids to play with him. How do you handle something like this?

An honest estimate of ourselves.... (long)
by Theocrat ingod says: ?blessed is the able-bodied man who puts his trust in jehovah, and whose confidence jehovah has become.?
a governing body that made decisions based on the scriptures and blessed by jehovah!
now, he is once again serving as a christian elder.

Not all of us that left have taken up a worldly spirit. I pray about decisions before I make them, try not to be negative, love my husband and children, treat other people right, the list could go on and on. I'm not just tooting my own horn. I was df'd, did it hurt, yes, but I believe that my relationship with God has gotten stronger. I, for one, have reviewed myself. You leave a lot to think about. But, would a loving God want us to constantly be trying to do more, or would he want us to enjoy the many blessings he gives each one of us that believes and strives to do what is right?

My experience with family members still "in" has not been good. They will not write back, if they see me at a family function, they will turn the other way. I finally got to a point where I figure there is no point. If they want to bury their head in the sand, not see concrete evidence directly in front of their face, there isn't anything I can do about it.
