I was told when i turned 17 that I have to get a job and pay rent or pioneer. I tried pioneering and then got sick of it and got a job. I LOVE having my b-day now and christmas. I threw my husband a big Paintball b-day party and it was a total suprise...he loved it....said it was his best b-day yet....:)

20The unpleasantness of growing up in the jw world.
by greendawn injw children have typically a very hard time growing up because of having to be so different from other kids they can't celebrate christmas, easter, birthdays or national holidays can't associate with "worldly" kids because that can ruin good habits, and as teenagers have to suppress sexual urges at the time when they are at their most intense.
they are constantly under pressure and living in a jw environment that's not particularly loving, understanding, or supportive they will probaly tell them: if you feeling down do some more field work to cheer up.
no wonder why so many leave.

She has three other grandchildren, She flys down to s. california and picks them up and takes them back. no they are not witnesess, but the grandma is. Sometimes she keeps the other grankids for a while, but i think the situation is different. There house is totally unstructured. He is allowed to stay up till midnight, doesn't eat dinner at dinner time, get totally spoiled and then I have to fix it when he gets back. It should be that if I say i want him back that is it, not no he doesn't need to come home.....right....doesn't 3 1/2 weeks sound like to long when she sees him often already?

She is bringing him back this morning. i hope that we can be polite about this. I want my son to see his grandma but I don't want to fight her to get him back. When i said I miss him and I want him home for a few days she starts up with.."we had an agreement". We had an agreement that she would get to spend time with him this summer not that she would get him 3 + weeks straight. arrgggg
gotta be cool, gotta be the adult here

New news, my husband showed up to get our son and guess what....she wasn't there. He called her cell phone and she said that they were getting something to eat and would be back in 45 min. So , my hubby is upset and asked me to call her, which I did. She gets mad and tells us the world doesn't revolve around us and that i was just trying to talk me son into going home but he doesn't want to. Anyway to make a long story short ...My hubby is pissed and she is bringing my son home tomorrow. i'm hurt and upset and i don't want my son to feel like he is being denied being with grandma. All she had to do was say "well, if you miss him then he should go home and then I will see him agin on thursday". oh if things were only that simple.

I took my 7 year old with me to the court house to get a copy of his birth cert. When I told him we were at the court house he said "man, alot of people live here". After we were inside he asked about what the people there did ...I told him they file papers...then he asks were does paper come from...i told him it comes from trees......his reply "NO WAY"...thats impossible......then i had to explain the whole process... it was cute.....especially since at this age he like to claim that he knows more then myself or his dad.

Inappropriate "shepherding" calls.
by avishai inhow many have recieved calls by the elders that were under the guise of "shepherding", but somehow inappropriate, i.e, you were a woman alone with only one elder showing up, or you felt physically intimidated by both.
or say they show up at like, 10:30 at night for a shepherding call.
and you say "hey, i appreciate the visit but please call first!

the elders were visiting my mom after i had my baby, they were giving her a sheperding call for whatever reason. i was hoping to get out of the house before they showed up but I didn't make it. One of the first comments out of the brothers mouth was "how old is the baby", i answed, "and how long have you been married". He was trying to bring up the fact that my child was a basterd and I got married after when I should have been married in the first place. I was pissed off, my mom was irritated, but did she do anything????? NOPE....and life goes on.
