This truly was a trend, I remember hearing kids screaming outside, as their parent was beating on them. It scared me at the time, I grew up had my own kids, never laid a hand on them. Children are children, they are young, and their attention span is short many times. They have a real hard time sitting for hours and doing nothing. I always felt sorry for them, and can't blame them one bit if in time when they grew up, left the truth. I think such treatment for little ones is terrible. Now you would think if that goes on someone should report such loving and caring parents to the authorities. I mean you can spank a child, then you can beat a child. Most of what I heard was on the line of beating. I wonder how the parents would feel if someone took them out and beat the crap out of them. How awful it must have been for so many kids when there was an assembly and they had to endure that all day long. It even got worse when there was a talk on disciplining your kids. MAYBE SOME PARENTS NEED A TIME OUT.

Thowing away WTS Publications
by Judith inin the past weeks, i have been throwing away my 32 year library of books.
the feeling of freeing myself from the weight of the lies contained within the pages was my objective.
i have always been afraid of letting them go just in case it was the "truth.

It took me awhile, but finally I gathered most of my books, only kept a few. I took them to my JW sisters house, knocked on door, said she could have them, she asked if i was not coming back to truth, I flat out said no. She took them.

I have learned witness stick togeather like glue, and use every excuse in the book to hid and sweep under the rug anything that goes on. If it is something wrong that they have done, they are always in denial. But if you do something wrong, look out because they are the first ones knocking on your door. Part of the reason I left, because I knew some were doing wrong things, and got away with it. So glad I don't have to see or deal with that anymore. HOW CAN ANYONE BE ON THE SIDE OF SOMEONE WHO HURTS CHILDREN, AND RAPES WOMEN. What a sad situation, and they should be exposed.

When you buy something with cash (bills) take the change you get and store it away, I was saving 50 dollars a month just with toonies. I also had pennies, nickels and dimes to roll. Every little bit helps.

Your MIL sounds like my mother, what a tyrant. I get along better with my mother-in-law, I have no relationship with my mother, told my sister I would not take care of her any longer, since I took care of her for many years and she only emotionally abused me.I carry a good sense of humour with my MIL and we laugh alot. She is 80 and a real sweetie. I think if you have her live with you, you will become emotionally damaged. Send her to a home.
