  in the long run what matters is this... The american coach wanted us in his group because he claimed defeating Australia would be a walk in the park.... Who is through to the second round?? Australia. Who didn't score a single goal in the first round??? America... HAHAHAHAHAHA

  Hi Mummy!!!

  That's great news a little girl! Will that be your family complete then? One of each... How delightful.

  Question (i'm a little dumb) how do you know from the ultrasound that she is a girl?

  I remember when I watched that video and was disgusted by it. I'd heard others in the congregation simply raving about it. I watched it and just wondered why I couldn't see the brilliance in it like everyone else. It was a cheap and nasty peice of work.

  Were you allowed to take sex education in school, when raised a JW?

  by free2beme in

  when i was in my freshman year, they had us take a half semester of sex education and another one was drivers education.

  the sex education class taught good stuff for a young teen to know, especially if they were in families who were kind of lax about teaching what needed to be know.

  as an example, one girl in our class actually asked if you could get pregnant the first time and another asked if the pulling out method was as good as a condom.

  Gosh no - and pretty much because the elders over here had the same mentality as yours.

  One elder even made the comment that, "sex education is between a parent and child and not the public school system and child."

  Thanx for reminding me of another humilating moment of my school live... When it came time for Sex Ed and my mother find out a note was written to the teacher in charge. I had to deliver it. Being the good JW girl I was I handed it over. Well the teacher immediately left the room and went to talk to the head of dept etc etc. It was this major issue and announced to the whole class. In hindsight I wish I had never delivered it and said I did.

  How did you find out that other people got them?

  I wonder if they will be running this same campaign here in Australia. So far I've seen no sign of them.

  Oh Merry - I know its not quite the same as the real thing but please accept this cyber hug from me! ((((Merry))))

  In my opinion your a wonderful woman. You've been through some terrible trials yet you battle your way through. This is going to be a hard one for you. I'm so sorry to hear about it. You know your friends, us here at JWD, will be here for you, the support when you need, encouraging words or just someone to listen to your pain.

  I wish you much inner strength and peace.

  Your a girl i could learn to love! What a complete 180. I wish you and your brother all the very best. Its sad about your family, I'm sorry they are taking the shunning option.

  grissom6471 you said:

  But I fire all of you Anti-Witnesses.

  Glad to hear. I guess this means we won't have to read any more of your ramblings.

  What a great day this has turned out to be!!

  Oh poor baby big hugs for ((((Nellie))))

  I still have moments where I almost mourn the loss of my JW friends. Despite having many new friends. Its the years of friendships and experiences etc that I grieve over.

  You are not alone.
