my ex-n-laws have taken my oldest to the meetings with them on occasion (when he stays with them) and if you ask my son now if he wants to go to a meeting he'll tell you "heck no" "its boring and you have to sit still to long" If they aren't exposed to it all the time and you explain the best you can how you feel about God. They will pretty much look at it as a "boring meeting" and they will get all the right info from you.

My mom took my son to KH after I told her not to
by unbeliever inreal shock i know that a jw would do that.
i found out today that my mom took my son to the kh behind my back when she was in town visiting.
he's just a little baby so he will have no memories of it.

Who does the prodigal son scripture apply to?
by Heather inokay i already asked a question earlier on being disassosiated now i'm wondering who this scripture applys to if not those in my place or disfellowshiped ones.
surly it doesn't apply only to those who are inactive since the son left to do his own thing.....

If you are dissasosiated............
by Heather indo the elders have to reinstate you if you start going back to meetings.
i was told a while back that you would be treated as a person on reproff with all restrictions but now i'm hearing that if i go back i will have to wait to be reinstated.....this is such bullsh**.
i really don't want to go back...but my grandmother just passed away last week and i went to the service(it was at the kh) and was able to see my family that for 4 years now has bearly talked to me...and i go to see my 2 beautiful nieces...whom i would love to have a relationship with.....so i started thinking maybe i could go to a few meetings to be able to have something to do with them.....well i went today....i was so upset earlier that i went and smoked a bit to calm me down...heeeeeeee .....so anyway....i was soo irritated and bored all the f-ing answers that some of them come up with....i guess i just keep thinking about the other side...they really do think that those of us on the outside are miserable......i was more miserable today then i have been in years just sitting there trying to pretend.

Then what about the whole prodigal son scripture.......He left on his own and came back on his own and was welcomed......does this scripture not apply. Does anyone out there have any other good advice.....this really sucks and I don't know how long i can do this. They want to met with me and gave me the option of meeting here(my house) or there. they didn't say anything to me about not talking to anyone at the hall and I actually had an elder itroduce me to a few sisters......I guess I'm confused....blahhhhh

Last Night Greys Anatomy *******Warning Spoiler*********
by BlackSwan of Memphis inok well if you haven't seen it, i'm giving you one last chance to click the close button, or back button, whichever you prefer........ .
ok, wtf?!
how does anyone stay under water for that long and live without brain damage?

Heather
See I was thinking from all the flashback to the hospital scene that maybe she wasn't under water as long as it seems she was. I think they just wanted to postpone her rescue till farther along to make it more suspenseful. so all the hospital scenes were going on while Meridith fell over the edge and the little girl walked away.......Yeah it still would mean that from the time she fell in and the time she was rescued would have to be at least a few minutes.........Or it could be like my husband was joking....in real life she pissed off one of the producers and their canning her
Overall I'm hoping for a recovery...i'm thinking they are over exagerating the next show or theres the possibility that we don't know if she live...isn't the next one the season finally????

You've been through so much..some I can relate to but you had it so much harder. I can't wait to hear the rest of your story....i will comment on the spanking of your children....When I had my first child I remember him making some noise during a meeting and I stood up and rocked him in the back of the hall. An elder came up to me and offered to take him outside and spank him for me....I was disgusted. I have lovley memories of being taken to the bathroom or outside and spanked and many memories of hearing outher children scream from the bathroom after you could hear the sound of open hands hitting bare flesh...

I know every child is different and although my 3 year old doesn't through bad tantrums and found something that has worked for me. My two youngest are 18 months apart. My 3 year old would throw himself on the floor and cry loudly. My hubby and I would take pictures of him while he was doing this and show them to him later and ask him if he looked mean or nice, ugly or pretty, kids his age can be great at manipulation. He understands alot of it...this helped or when he was throwing the tantrum i would hold a mirror up on front of him and say "your scaring mommy"..."see your scary face".. can you look in the mirror and show me a nice face, then we can do something".. Sometimes that works and sometimes you just have to ingore it. most kids that age want a purpose...want something to do. At the grocery stores here they have the mini carts that you kids can push.... if you have those give her an incentive..."mommy will let you push your very own cart if you can behave". Or find her little jobs to do... We have a kids size mop and broom and dust pan....my 3 year old loves to use these to help mommy.....let her know she can help the baby by sitting close and singing a little song. Any way... i hope you find something that works... i know how exauhsting it is to have a baby and a young one. take a deep breath and make sure you get to have your own time to yourself every so often.
