  Mother Forces 5 Year-Old Son To . . .

  by Zandor in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  can anyone here, lay person or professional describe or give insights into the effects the following has on a child?.

  when my friend, the middle child of 3 siblings, was five years old, his mother took him by the hand and led him to the house where his father was having an affair with another woman.

  she opened the door to confront her husband who was actually in the act of having sex with the other woman, and deliberately exposed her young son to this drama.. .

  A JW mom in my family did a similar thing.

  The JW relative was getting a secular divorce, but needed proof that her JW soon-to-be-ex husband was cheating for a scriptual divorce. So, the JW relative and her female JW friend staged a date between the husband and a third, Non-JW Friend. The non-JW friend invited the JW husband back to her apartment. The JW relative and her JW friend sat in the laundry room, adjacent to the apartment. They couldn't get on top of the washer/dryers to be near the grate that led to the next door apartment, so they had the the 4 or 5 year old daughter "listen in" to the conversation/happenings in the apartment from the laundry room.

  I don't think the little girl "got it" as to what was going on at the time or how sick it was all. But, now, I'm sure she does.

  Just sick.

  There is so much other stuff that they could have been doing, on that beatiful day it looke like! To sit around a table for that many hours, must be some good gossip for those sisters! That truly is a waste, not witnessing AND not doing anything fun either. What a waste.

  New 1975? Jan 1st WT 2014

  by notsurewheretogo in

  this post was taken from reddit exjw but makes a very good point:.

  these are two paragraphs of the watchtower of january 1st 2014.... .

  i don't know about you guys, but in my mind, i'm seeing a deja vu of the articles before 1975 i've read.

  Well, if a good majority of the fervent JWs are baby boomers, plus or minus a few years, then the WTS better reach its target audience with "good" news of Armegheddon being close at hand.

  I remember the publications in the 1980s, same lingo. But, then it was all tied to the "Generation that would never die (i.e. 1914's generation)". It was never the "Generation plus 1, that would never die."

  To each person has a right to his own spiritual journey. Slimboy's journey is not one that I expect to make, but I wish (if he doesn't mind that word) him the best on his pathway.

  so my 14 year old daughter recently has been duped into sending a facebook friend a video of her house and random crap by someone pretending to be a 17 year old in the uk.

  this set off major warning bells in my wife and i so we started to investigate.

  although all very innocent she was obviously being played by a cyber stalker.

  I think it's important to teach her to be wary and wise. This is something she will take with her throughout her life. My teenage child's friend befrended a boy, supposedly 2 years older then her. Same story as yours. Boys that are two years older, do not want a girl two years younger. There's a first tip-off.

  At the same time, i would parent her, but parent her reaonably. First, I would limit her computer & phone time to less then an hour a day. How much time does she have on it now? She needs to be out doing a sport, hobby, reading, and homework. Take away her computer and phone at bedtime. Nothing good happens after bedtime. And, I would put a keystroke recorder on her computer. That way, you know her sites and passwords. Becuase faster than you can ban a site, they will create a new name and/or go to a new site.

  And, yes, call the police. Stealing teenaged girls is big business. They are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. There is major child slave trafficking here in the US. If she were to get into some middle-eastern countries, there is a huge sex slave trade there. The mafia and gangs are getting into this. She needs to understand why she can NEVER post her real address or a picture of herself or her house.

  greetings, soup lovers:.

  i have a huge kitchen at my disposal (not my own); vegetables, cans of this and that and spices are scattered about, prepared to go into a cauldron of minestrone i started a few days ago.

  i'm preparing ahead so as to freeze the leftovers to heat up later at home over my hotplate.. nothing like a 6-burner gas range to simmer over!.

  Yes, I love zuchini soup, lentil soup, vegatable soup, tomato soup, vegan chile, everything!

  I make my own soup becuase I am sensitive to MSG. Progresso & Campbells contain MSG. Most canned soups do. And, they taste wierd.
