We had this one lady that beat the tar out of her 3 year old son, I mean absolutley beat him AT THE KINGDOM HALL, you can imagine what she did at home. My Mom and I both "went to the elders" and said we would report her if nothing was said or done, to which they threatened us....I still wish we would have done something other than obey the elders. I went to her house once when we were in service and I cannot even begin to describe the filth she was living in...she used her back deck as a garbage area and the sliding glass doors were completely filled up to the top with garbage, there was rotting food everywhere in the house etc, but when she came to the hall she was treated like some kind of prize because she was a study and turned away from the world etc, but no one really seemed to care about her poor child.......

What ended your first relationship?
by Dune ini'm in a relationship now and its my first serious one.
she keeps telling me that she's scared because she believes i'll eventually get bored with her and start wondering how it feels like with other women.
so she wants me to hook up with other girls when she goes out of the country for the fall semester.. personally i dont want to, but this is making me wonder, in the average person's first ,serious relationship, whats the cause of the breakup?

Lentil Loaf....it tastes just as delicious as it sounds...a loaf of lentils. Also, once when my Dad was out of town (he does all the cooking) she attempted BBQ salmon. It did not turn out well, the top was pretty much liquid and the bottom was a crusty black. I still don't like salmon

Had dinner with some worldly friends, WTBTS is full of it
by thecarpenter injust had dinner with some worldly friends and relatives and what a great time i had.
it was sobering to think that i cut them out for so long and yet they are such nice people.
we were conditioned to believe that they were bad influences and were demon possessed but actually are quite decent and church going people with real strengths and weaknesses like everyone else.

I am glad we can now associate with all of our family without silently judging them. I am so glad I was able to celebrate some holidays with my Grandparents last year, I always wanted to.

Children and school assembly
by dobbie inmy little child in the uk starts school soon.
i wasn't brought up a jw and am inactive but there are lots of other jw children going and apparently are'nt allowed to go to school assemblies.
i can't remember anything wrong with school assemblies and i think it's daft to keep my child in a separate room while its going on.

I was not allowed to go to Pep rallies (and soooooo badly wanted too)...I can't remember why...I think its school spirit we were not suppossed to have, becuase we could'nt go to football games or be a cheerleader either. We had to go sit in another room for assemblies and rallies, I would not want to do that to my child...
