HI JGnat,
I'd been a celibate single parent for twenty years, raised my children to adulthood...I was dangerously randy. ;
That's funny! I resemble that remark.
What did you see in your husband? It didn't worry you that he was still living with his parents? I think I would have dismissed him off the bat.

...let's their kids keep Christmas presents, Valentine gifts, etc
... let's their kids participate in extracurricular activities at school, including community service
... gives to charity, even the Red Cross and maybe even volunteers
... talks about her "career"
... doesn't attend meetings while away on vacation
... has an interest in election returns, even if not a voter
... comments freely on politics and politicians (so much for neutrality)
JGNAT says: ...sincerely believe that they leave cleaner lives than their non-JW neighbours.
Oh, no. My neighbors are much better at keeping their houses and yards clean.

She's probably inactive. She may be single. Her relatives may not be JWs. How important do you think she is in her congregation?

What was YOUR childhood dream?
by Golf inbeing a professional baseball player.
i ended up being a professional golfer and teacher, one of the few hats i wear.

This liberal JW ...
Has learned to be VERY discreet.
Has friends outside of the org and acquaintances inside.
Vents on internet 'apostate' forums so that she doesn't have to risk saying the wrong thing to the wrong JW in her life.
Believes God is much more merciful and reasonable than the WTS makes HIM out to be.

Hi These3words. Welcome to the forum! I agree, fear is a JW motivator.

Hi Gary,
This must have been distressing for you and your wife. Whatever you do, don't beat the kids. They will hate the meetings then, and may even dislike the parents eventually.
Elders made remarks about my hyperactive daughter. I told them that she never sat still for more than 10 minutes, even when watching her favorite TV show. I also told them it wasn't reasonable to expect young children to sit still for long periods of time. My daughter didn't sit still for an entire meeting until she was 8 and could read well enough to follow along in the Bible and publications.
With three kids, you have your hands full. It seems like once one kid fidgets, the others start. If your going to try to adjust the kid's behavior, you might try diet modification, rewards or different seats at the hall. I've heard that diet can affect activity levels, like sugar, artificial dyes, food sensitivities like milk and wheat. I rewarded my daughter with stickers at the meeting, since she loved stickers. If she sat still for 15 minutes, she got her choice of stickers. Of course, I didn't get much out of the meetings, getting interrupted every 15 minutes. We also went outside during the song for a brief break. She seemed to get distracted by what was happening behind her, so I allowed her to stand in the back of the hall on especially fidgety days. Some kids do better sitting at the front of the hall, where all they see is the speaker.
Are you sure the elders aren't using this as a convenient excuse to get rid of you? I hope you find a healthy way to resolve this, for your entire family's sake.

In our local Sunday paper, there's a regular feature on how married couples met. I've been touched by some of the stories. I'm curious as to how you met your spouse. Were there any interesting turns along the way to the altar? Since I'm single, I don't have a story to share, except for "How not to find a spouse".
