hi all...... i have heard my dear jw husband say this about his daughter many times over the last month or so.
it kills me to hear this, and that he believes it.
god punishes people by not rewarding them with a job?
Hi Scully-
She does not live close to me right now so a fun day wouldn't be something we could do right now, but maye in the future. I do receive e-mail from her, from time to time (Oh my!!!) and she has been pretty open, but not about how she REALLY feels about WT things. I think she is really struggling, but not sure how much of it is with authority, the WT, or just adolscent angst...........
I plan on just being here and offering her support, no matter what she does.

I've already helped her with her resume, and I fax things for her, get extra copies made when she needs to mail them, etc.
I sincerely wish she could land herself something that pays her well enough to be on her own, with a room mate or something. She has made mistakes, but that is how we learn right? And also, maturity comes with age and experience. I feel bad in that this to me is all part of getting through this time in your life (very young adulthood), and yet it seems the only help she gets it reprimand, the "need to do better than this" and now "Jehovah is keeping things from you as a direct result of your conduct". I support as much as I can, in any way I can, but it is not the JW kind of support, it's my worldly support. I have to be careful not to undermine their beliefs (husband and step-daughter) but at the same time give support. Tricky sometimes.
Thanks to whomever moved this thread to the proper place!

Oops can someone move this to the "Friends" topics, or else give me instruction on how to do this? I made a mistake and plopped this in the wrong area! Duh!
Thanks-

Hi all.....
I have heard my dear JW husband say this about his daughter many times over the last month or so. It kills me to hear this, and that he believes it. God punishes people by not rewarding them with a job? If that's the case, some of my behavior in the past would merit major punishment as far as job opportunities, but I have had nothing but promotions. But then again I was never a JW, perhaps Jehovah only punished his own people if they aren't behaving as they should completely. I respect his right to believe what he wants to, but to me this is so far out and so sad that it is hard to imagine he feels that way about God punishing or not rewarding his own daughter! Good grief, could it be that just graduating from high school and only having cleaning jobs and babysitting jobs could be hindering her from getting something she WANTS to do (clerical)? Makes me feel bad for her.......she is struggling enough to find her place in life, now let's heap more guilt on her saying Jehovah is withholding...........
Just a rant...............but when any of you were active/believing JW's, did you really honestly think that God would withhold rewards/things wanted (a job?) from people???? So foreign to me.............

i have it, have been on allopurinol for yrs.
but recently stopped taking the med every day.
big mistake!
Friends of mine swear by apple cider vinegar.
I found this on a web site:
7 Readers have found success. (Note: Must take daily.)
Phil, from Wales, UK emailed us the following: "I have been taking 2 Tablespoons cider vinegar plus 1 Tablespoon of honey in 1/2 cup of boiled water 3 times a day for the last 3-4 weeks, plus doing chi kung exercises and have been able to stop taking piroxicam for gout (I've got the tablets nearby just in case!). I use Aspells organic cider vinegar - I live in Wales so Bragg's cv is presumably not available."
elders meet scriptural requirements before being 'appointed .
by holy spirit.
' knowing this will strengthen your confidence.
I'm in the middle of this kid of gossip right now relating to my JW husband's daughter. Many phone calls are taking place, no one seems to be able to keep things quiet. It all seems like a big long line of "and they'll tell two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on.........."
Very distressing. No action has taken place yet because of all the talking flying around. Good grief.

" (acts 10:38,42).
"the conclusion of the system of things".
we are living in "the conclusion of the system of things.
The undedicated children of goatish people will not be spared from execution and being sentenced to Gehenna just because they are themselves minor, unresponsible children. This hard fact is illustrated in the orders that Jehovah God issued to his executioners when apostate Jerusalem was to be destroyed. To his executioners he said: "Pass through the city after him [the man who marked the ones to be spared] and strike. Let not your eye feel sorry, and do not feel any compassion. Old man, young man and virgin and little child and women you should kill off." And that is what they did, as illustrated in Jerusalem?s destruction, 607 B.C.E.-Ezek. 9:5-7.
This is precisely why I don't think God is the God spoken of in the bible. Killing off innocent children, how barbaric. Didn't Jeus say let the little children come to me? Ugh....

myrna, my beloved stepmom, was diagnosed with breast cancer early this year.
in typical fashion, she let us all know what was happening in her life, informed herself of the options, and calmly determined her course of treatment.
it was a very small lump, and it looks like all of it was removed.
((jgnat))
I did not realize you were going through this. I lost a dear aunt to cancer (aggressive malignant melanoma) 5 years ago, who had a huge influence on my life. I miss her.
I'm so sorry...............can't find the right words at all right now.

it's seems that people can grow about until they are 25 (unless a sickness still make them grow).
i've stop growing at 12, i'm the same size since then 5'5'.
also they told me that anyway having a baby at 14 would had stop me growing anyway that i should have been taller !
Oh I forgot to add that my grandmother was 4'11" and my grandfather was 6'3". Another "odd couple" with mismatched heights!
