I have a little sweet 15 month old baby girl Delanie. When she falls hard by herself my heart skips a beat naturally as a mother. I couldn't imagine the mothers feeling nothing when this happens???

Dropping babies
by Tired of the Hypocrisy ini saw this story on the news this morning.
muslims in india apparently drop their babies from a 50 foot tall temple tower for good luck.
i can't imagine doing that, i don't know anyone that would do that, and i am sure that in the usa child protective agencies would swoop down on anyone doing such a thing.

Surprise,surprise !
by frisbee inhi guys.
am a relative newbee and still a member of the borg, two weeks ago had 2 elders visit ostensibly to shepherd/correct me for sharing some personal study viewpoints which they heard had upset a bro and sis who had not bothered to contact me in the spirit of matt 18 although according to one of the elders this is one of the most abused scriptures in the bible , the r&f spillling the beans on each other to the boe and the elders listening to any hearsay and then confronting brothers, any experiences ?
also i had been seen visiting my dfd daughter and son in law ( also posters here ) this resulted in my having some basic priveledges removed,assembly attendant, pioneer, regional bc helper.. i wrote a letter of concern and copied to our co who took the time to visit me and in the presence of the elders agreed that their decision was technically wrong and not a demonstration of kindness , also that my relationship with my family was not one for a general judgement but was between my conscience and jehovah, the time i might spend with them was my affair and only if stumbling was to occur within the cong might it be flagged up for further counsel.

Well, if they are getting more "easy going" on the shunnung policy, I wonder if my dad will contact me at all since I have not seen him since 1992? I will be very curious to see if the WTBS is realizing that the shunning policy is a bit harsh and tears families apart? Too good to be true from a unified sense.

Baptized at 16 in 89 at the Sportsman or Hawthorne race track in Chicago, IL, it was the District Convention in the summertime. I wore a white dress with hot pink polka dots and stripes at the bottom, and white shoes that looked like ballet shoes, I was absolutely beaming. When I got out there to be dunked, I saw my dad the elder in the pool, it was a surprise he was going to baptize me. It was weird. My parents were so happy, which actually made me happy since they caused me so much grief and humiliation. But my baptism day was a great day for me, no punishment.

Austrian man admits holding daughter captive
by Lady Lee ini have been seeing reports on this over the day so thought i would bring it here.. austrian man admits holding daughter captive.
an elderly austrian man has confessed to holding his daughter captive in a basement cell for 24 years and fathering seven children with her, police said monday.
the 73-year-old man allegedly held his daughter elisabeth, now 42, and three of their children in a soundproof chamber below an apartment block in amstetten, a town near the austrian alps.

You know, the children who lived in the sound proof cellar would have health problems for sure becaue of living that way, but I do wonder if a big part of why the children are sick is because its incest!!! I knew a girl whose mom was one of 8 kids that were born from two 1st cousins in Polland. 5 of them were handicapped (rare handicaps), and the other three were lucky to be normal. 2 of them are still alive in Polland (both handicap) and the others that were normal are OK.
I wonder, and not thats its the most important issue, because this story is so very sick, but incest from father to daughter, and the daughter actually have 7 children by him!

What was your saddest day as a JW?
by jambon1 ini had many days like this but i will never forget the time that a 'prominent elder' publicaly declared that he wants to see the worldly people die at armaggeddon.
"i hope that i can look out the window & watch it all happening".
i went home and thought; 'wtf am i a part of here'?

The day I left the org, that I knew my parents would let me go because I did not want to serve Jehovah their way, thats why I was sad. I was not DFd yet, so I was still a JW. It should still count.

I was homeschooled because my parents thought I was too social, so homeschooling is not an option for my kids unless something truly makes it a reason to do it, I longed to be social when I was homeschooled. I always felt smuthered by my parents. I can relate very well and remember it being very controling. The only good thing was that I graduated a year early, and not because I was a genious, but because I just kept working at it to get it done.
My older kids are social, and I think its important for them to know/learn how to be social, it teaches them how to be leaders, not followers, they will go through things socially that will help them in their adult life, it will also teach them who they are, not everyone is a leader, some wind up being followers. Who know, but kids need to be social.
My 2 cents,

My in-laws (Sister, brother, mom, dad in law) are my neighbors, so someone from my in-laws is always over. I put up with alot, but I let alot roll off my shoulders. That is, up until the point, they start getting into our business too much or they want to try to control the situation. I love them dearly, but just this weekend I had to tell them to mind their own business and I do not have to justify anything to them. Once they left, I said "love you guys" and that was it. If they are pissed at me, they will get over it, I had every right to do what I did, hence the reason why they did not say anything when I told them what I did. I did not go ballistic, I was calm, but firm. Inside I was thinking, do you people ever stop???
I understand!

Ya hoo eee sacolton! Rush Hour 2, too bad Riki Tan was not in Rush Hour 3!
I went to Taiwan this past October on business, and I cannot tell you how much fun I had quoting lines from both the 1st & 2nd Rush Hours, they were not offended, they ate it up. I would say seriously, "Do you know Riki Tan?" Do you know about his boat, the Red Dragon?"...how funny they new the lines, and it was funny to hear an American girl know so much about it. Honestly, I got better pricing from them because of Rush Hour .
