  TO ALL YOU NON-CATHOLICS.

  We all know Jeff is an ex-jw converted to Catholicism. Maybe because of this, many of you won't even check this podcast out, because of your upbringing against the Catholic religion. I am not a devout Catholic, although my wife is. So, I give Jeff the benefit of the doubt and listen in to see if his stories are beneficial to my stance on jw's. They usually are, and this one certainly is.

  So, I just want to ask you, please listen to this podcast, at least for the first twenty minutes or so. This lady talks extensively about her jw upbringing in the jw cult through the 1975 Armagedon period. It's very interesting, and I'm sure many of you will relate to her experiences.

  After that, decide for yourself if you want to continue listening to it. I did, and it didn't hurt a bit.

  Okay, no hard feelings?

  Hubert

  Ruth is one of the absolute kindest persons I know. And I for one am very thankful for all that she is willing to share.

  Thx Jeff

  In my job I'm working on delivering these alerts to digital advertising screens in big cities so the authorities can have the kids picture plastered around the city within minutes of them going missing. It'll probably be working Summer 2009 in the UK and New York.

  This is really awesome news ML. Please let us (me) know as soon as it comes alive. If you have articles regarding it's development you could point us towards that would be really wonderful as I would like post a link to it on my blog and our business blog. Thanks :)

  Ordinarily I would say it is none of my business, but they make it our business by going on television and making their lives our entertainment.

  This is what bugs me about these shows. There is another one, Jon and Kate +8, that also irritates me.

  Why oh why is this entertainment???????

  I really don't give a flying farce about people having oogles of children. As long as cps doesn't need to be called in to protect the children, fine. Whatever. I would Prefer that they consider adopting 18 children from starving countries or hell from the usa, but whatever. It's the fact that the Parents are turning their 'adventure in parenting' into a way to make money.

  I wonder if it is Less child slavery and more child exploitation. I readily admit I could be wrong, I don't know any of these people, but as Hortensia said, by going on tv they are setting themselves up for some sort of judgement call.

  I'm not going to say I completely agree with the decision to have that many children.

  I will say:

  There was a time that it was GOOD to have children that learned useful skills and were taught how to be a part of a family. Children now a days don't learn how to do basic, ordinary skills that can serve them a lifetime.

  Gardening, canning, knitting, crocheting, taking care of livestock, learning to build homes from ground zero...these things are rarely taught to children. Instead, they are taught to watch t.v., play video games, skateboard, 'hang out' aimlessly with their friends after school doing nothing useful. We're constantly "finding things" for our kids to do that really teach them valueless lessons. After school activities that focus primarily on academics, athletics or just keeping them out of trouble, take up so much of their time that they have no time to learn life-skill lessons that could serve them much better than academics/athletics alone.

  I know More people in my age group than not that have little idea how to care for a garden or even cook from scratch.

  I give these people credit for taking their responsibility as parents serious enough to make sure that their children are home and being taught valuable life lessons and skills that will stay with them a lifetime, as opposed to the people who honestly would rather shuck the responsibility of raising their kids onto the public school system and government.

  I hardly would call these children slaves, seeing as they have food on their table, a nice home to live in and parents that truly care about them. Perhaps I don't agree with their religious beliefs that led them to this decision, but teaching your children to be an active member of the family and teaching them responsibility is hardly the grounds for slavery.
