Everyone in my family on my moms side gets migraines.i'm the lucky one I guess. i have only had 2 in my whole life but i get the zig zags and the flashes with out the pain. i had cramps really, really bad when I started my period....i had to be put on meds (Anaprox) to help the pain and they also put me on birth control to help with my hormones.....my cramps would hurt so bad i would vomit the first three days of my cycle. Now that I've had kids I don't have them so bad anymore. I'm so sorry your daughter is going through this....make sure she drinks lots of water... that is what has helped my family the most...although my mom does take imetrex to help. Good luck

Movies to make a JW THINK

by M.J. in

i've heard various suggestions of movies to show a dub.. those of us with a spouse / family in the borg might find it pretty useful to rent such movies as just another way of chipping away at the indoctrination, or drawing attention to the wts control tactics.. one movie i saw which was somewhat helpful was one called "equilibrium", which was suggested on this board a while back.

its about a society that has acheived peace and order by requiring everyone to repress their emotions through sedatory drugs.

the good thing about this one was when it showed how everyone was so indoctrinated to follow the directives of the organization in charge, with every person keeping an eye on everyone else.

CRUEL toward children!!!!

my 6 year old daughter was best friends with another 6 year old witness girl and they go to the same school.. since our disassociation it has been difficult for them to see each other.to get around this, we have recently used my mother (who is not/never been a witness), to take the two girls out to play together.

however, two witness mothers at the school noticed that this was happening and proceeded to harrass and have a go at the other witness mother for letting her daughter associate with the 6 year old daughter of parents who have left jehovah.there has been no trips out together for the two girls since.. this to me is so cruel!

after all, there was never any contact with us.

it is so sad that our children are treated this way....It must be hard for her.....Have you tried meeting up with some play groups so that she can have other friends to play with........I know this doesn't fix the fact that she can't play with someone who is already her friend but it might help a little.

Home school

by stop in

i'm new to this forum and hope to get some advice from the experts.

my exwife is a fully jw dedicated do it all convert had decided to put our 9 y.o.

daughter to home school.

I was homeschooled and so was my brother....my brother graduated from homeschool but I begged to go back my freshman year....i had to beg for 2 years until my parents let me go back my junior year........i was so out of place so nieve(sorry can't spell). Homeschool actually set me back since they count credits different then public schools. I had to take junior and sophmore english and science and gym, since in homeschool there is no gym. I had to learn how to function in the real world......It was hard for me. My brother on the other hand, stayed in the truth and got married and is still in the same place..married to a witness sitting on the fence so to speak. I ended up takeing my GED otherwise i would have to attend school an extra year to catch up. Its deffiantlly not for everyone, but if your daughter is a people person then please don't take away her social life. my parents thought this would be a good way to protect me from worldly interests. I may have recieved a good education but I didn't grow up learning how to function around regular people....just JW's....... i hope things work out......but if she does go on homeschool try to make an agreement with your ex that is your daughter wishes to go back then she should be allowed. If you have any other questions for me feel free to e-mail me.........by the way I started homeschool when i got to 6th grade.
