  just wondering if anyone else has twins?

  my daughter's are pretty close, but not like they once were.

  if i give a compliment to one, the other one feels she needs to bring up something about herself.

  Hi!

  Just wondering if anyone else has twins? I have 14 year-old twins. My daughter's are pretty close, but not like they once were. If I give a compliment to one, the other one feels she needs to bring up something about herself. Is this normal?

  Both my girls have been on the A honor roll every quarter since they began middle school. They are both self-motivated and I never have to tell them to do their school work. It is funny, but school and grades are one area they don't seem too competitive about. All other things though.... watch out!!!

  One of my twins was diagnosed this school year with Obsessive compulsive disorder and depression. She has gotten a little more attention from school, counselors, and us the parents. If you have ideas to share or any help at all, I would appreciate hearing from you!!!

  what part of the hall was your favorite part to clean?

  was it the bathrooms, the main hall, library or lunch room perhaps...did people use cleaning the hall as an excuse to get self-righteous?

  let me know.... lol.

  since my hubby was an opposer, I never went to the kingdom hell more than for the meetings. Somehow I got out of it, and no one really said anything to me, surprisingly.

  i actually never liked the memorial.

  i hated feeling guilty about not doing the scheduled bible reading.

  I hated the conventions. I felt sorry for the kids having to sit so long and pretend they were enjoying it!!

  suggestions on what we might do to raise abuse awareness in our local communities go by local abuse organizations and drop off information about silentlambs and ask if they would like to have a video for their library.

  Snoozy,

  Doesn't it just blow your mind how parents can DEFEND their adult child who is a sex offender? My grandparents now have nothing to do with me, the victim, and still have contact with my father, the molester!!! I thought it was just my family that was sick and twisted!!!

  I think the sex abuse awareness ribbon is teal, right?

  My life was MISERABLE in the org. My husband opposed majorly. My kids thought it was so stupid. Life was just a dark tunnel with no end in sight. I tried taking my life a few times. Finally I came to my senses with the help of some dear, loving friends who are no longer associated with the org.

  It is truly a MIRACLE! I feel like a butterfly just out of it's cocoon! Life is soooo beautiful. My family is all in harmony. We are so happy. I just celebrated my twin daughters birthday for the first time in 11 years! They are now 14, and it is the first time they remember me celebrating with them!

  I only have to take a small amount of meds now, and I have never felt so emotionally well!!!

  Thanks to all of you here on this forum. Your encouragement has been awesome!

  i've made some progress with speaking to mum and stepdad regarding the jw org.

  i think i'm making good progress because yesterday i sat down and said to mum something along the lines of.... "listen, i understand if you don't want to look at what i present to you regarding your faith, but you must wonder why i no longer go to the kingdom hall even though i had a lot of goals as a witness and things were working out for me, i was an unbaptized publisher, i had given talks from the platform and someday i wanted to be an elder.

  why do you think now i go to church?.

  Good for you!

  It really is a HUGE relief when you find out JW's do not have the truth. What is also wonderful is the way you can sit down with your mom and discuss versus argue. Religion can be a very touchy subject with many. So many have forgotten REAL christianity. It isn't about argueing over who is right, it is about showing Christ-like love!

  You have a lot of patience, keep it up and may God bless you!

  It is really the ultimate worst crime against children. I was sexually abused by my father for 7 years. I went through hell. When a friend told me about silent lambs(when I was a believer of the WTS) I listened to her, but was afraid to go to the site. I finally did. It changed everything. I knew I could no longer be a part of a group that could actually COVER UP such horrible crimes against kids. I thank my wonderful, DF'd friend!!!
