It's "christian love" like you show that shows the WTS and what they teach for the "truth" it is. You are no different than the "wonderful christian" my husband's x-wife became once she joined up with the collective. I hope more people see you and see thru your "christian charity"...

In Search of... Good Parenting Tips

by MerryMagdalene in

calling all parents who raised children according to borg guidelines or anyone who was raised that way him- or her-self and, thus, is aware of the damage often thereby done.... i was raised as a 4th generation jw, drew away at least a decade ago, and am now the mother of a wonderful 3 year old girl.

i am looking for some words of wisdom to keep in mind as i do my best to raise her in a sane and loving manner.. any ideas on positive things to keep in mind?

and what about negative things to watch out for (you know, those nasty things we don't even realize are still part of our psyche until they jump out and scream "boo!")?.

I wasn't raised in "the borg" but I was raised by a mother who had NO clue that kids would be kids. My kids are now 21, 17 and 14...the best advice I can give is...just let them be kids, with all the goofiness, disorganization, mess, clutter, spilt milk, etc. that kids at those ages can create.

I grew up in a very regimented atmosphere...and I guess I've rebelled against it. My kids were/are raised as essentially free spirits...very few rules, however those 2 or 3 are set in stone...basically, respect for yourself and others is the overarching thing in our home.

Kids are great...enjoy the imagination...give them all sorts of opportunities to indulge it.

in a nutshell...the neighborhood we live in is the pits!

we're renting, and decided to stay here "one more year" in order to try to get things straight b4 moving...however...our landlady called.

she knew of a house that was going up for rent, in a much nicer neighborhood and would rather rent to someone she already knew than going through the headaches of pre-screening new tenants.

Hi all!

In a nutshell...the neighborhood we live in is THE PITS! We're renting, and decided to stay here "one more year" in order to try to get things straight b4 moving...HOWEVER...our landlady called. She knew of a house that was going up for rent, in a MUCH nicer neighborhood and would rather rent to someone she already knew than going through the headaches of pre-screening new tenants. So, she called us and asked if we'd be interested...OH YEAH!

So...Mr. TB, TB and little TB are OUT of this hellhole in 6 weeks...

Anyone wanna come to the moving party? We're supplying pizza, beer, or whatever else...

Competitive Parents

i just signed my son up for soccer, he is only 6 and has never played before.

last week at soccer camp, i overheard one of the mothers saying, she had a conversation with the coach.

he said there were alot of really great players this time around, but also alot of really bad ones.

TrailBlazer04

Netty, the parents are total friggin jerks because they're living their dreams of sports success through their children. My son was involved in competitive gymnastics for awhile...and the parents were UNREAL...

Parents can be total jerks when it comes to that...I'm way over it all. All I want is for my kid(s) to do well in school...the rest is just whatever they want to do. We don't do much in the competitive thing anymore...guitar lessons, swim lessons, stuff like that appeals these days.

so i am here this morning with my octopus arms, making the kids breakfast with one hand, getting them dressed with the other, doing their hair with another hand brushing their teeth with another hand, etc.

you get the picture... while my husband sits at the table reading the newspaper.

both kids are complaining of sore throat and have some sort of summer cold, so i asked hime could you please get the medicine and give them some medicine, and what does he do?
