Parenting - strict or relaxed
by TheListener inthis was inspired by satanus' thread about how can people leave the truth when they've been raised in it.. i was raised in the truth, or as some say i was raised around the truth and made it my own when i was baptized.
i know typical doublespeak from dubs.. which method of parenting will most likely result in your child being a stronger jw?
a strict parent who enforces family study, meeting attendance regardless of health, regular service, constant spiritual talk inserted into daily life, having dub families over a lot and creating situations for regular association with dub kids of a similar age and not allowing association with school and neighborhood kids.

in about fifty-two minutes time...
by zaphod in...my gran, who has been a jw since the 1950's will be reproved publicly for speaking to her grand-daughter who is disfellowshipped.
she is 77 years old and i am worried that it will be the death of her.
the"truth" has been her life for nearly fifty years and she is still a regular publisher.. if she continues to commit this gross sin she will be disfellowshipped.. her daughter and son in law are to be disfellowshipped for the terrible sin of allowing their daughter to live under their roof since she left her husband.

she is 77 years old and i am worried that it will be the death of her. the"truth" has been her life for nearly fifty years and she is still a regular publisher.
if she continues to commit this gross sin she will be disfellowshipped.
her daughter and son in law are to be disfellowshipped for the terrible sin of allowing their daughter to live under their roof since she left her husband. other members of the congration have harboured their own children without such reproof.
she has attended all the meetings for the last 18 months and still is not reinstated
their other daughter, a "faithful" sister is due to have her first baby next month. with her parents are both df'd, how will she cope?
just thought i would share that with you all
it's about 45 minutes now
my thoughts are with you gran

Question game...this should be fun!
by FreedomFrog ini found this game to be quite fun, funny and helps us learn a little more about each other and their personality.
here's the "rules":
i will start with a question and the next person has to answer that question and then ask a question of his own.

this was a really good idea for a thread but it appears that most of the people engaging in it didn't read the instructions.

when i get a new book, i'll open it up to the middle of the book and stick my nose in the binding for about ten seconds, and smell how the glue, ink, and fresh paper smell.

i make songs out of virtually everything people say to me.
sometimes i sing them out loud. sometimes i sing them in my head and i find it really difficult to concentrate on what the person is saying because i am so into my song. usually i don't even know what they have said to me.
i also like to make words out of the letters on the license plate of the car ahead. then i sometimes make a song from that. sometimes i have loads of songs going at once and i say or type the words of the song rather than the actual thing i'm supposed to be saying/typing.
and me and my dad can start singing the same song at exactly the same point, at exactly the same time. i think it is because he does the song in the head thing too and he has probably reacted to the same stimuli as me but doing at the exact same time is a bit weird.
this thread has got me thinking how gosh darn freaky i am.

i don't remember when i started doing this.
i bite off the corners of my toast, chewing each piece on alternate sides of my mouth, leaving me with a cross shape. i then discern which opposite arms of the cross are the most equal in size bite them off and then chew each one of these on each side of my mouth, leaving me with one narrow, straight piece of toast. i then roll this up like a swiss roll and bite it in half. i chew one half on one side of my mouth and one on the other side, so neither side of my mouth chews more than the other.
is that weird?
