Child Led Play Therapy-Anyone have experience with it?

by FlyingHighNow in

andy and i go to a program with our five year old grandson that involves child led play therapy.

i am wondering if any of you have done this kind of therapy or know anything about it.

did it work for you or your child or other children you know of?

Dear FHN,

I realize that this is a stretch, but I just couldn't bear to see this thread go unattended! I'm a teacher at a private school and I train the students to become little teacher's-aides. They love helping me---they feel so important. I listen to their version of what I have taught them (as expressed to another student) and determine if they have gotten the point. Fellow students are cooperative and receptive to each little teacher's instruction. In so many ways it is good "therapy" for them and me.

Educationally yours,

CoCo

"It's ok Officer, I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses"

by Highlander in

earlier today i was thinking back to some of my old friends i had while living in minnesota, and attending the pine city congregation.

my j-dub friends were like many non-j-dub .

teenage boys and would drive fast, drink beer or any other kinds of trouble you can think of.

Dear It's Ok,

A close family member, not one ever to be stopped in her tracks, was known to say upon an attempted entry into an unauthorized area, "It's okay, I'm a nurse." Absolute sincerity and determination of purpose.

Yours truly,

Hi Gaiagirl,

That's a good one! Apologies, also, to Leslie Gore! "You don't own me...don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say,...don't put me on display...." The possibilities are endless.

Life Everlasting--in Freedom Of The Sons Of God--PDF!

by Atlantis in

this old book is a little weather-beaten but may still serve for some information purposes.

many researchers wanted this book for the "charts" as well as other important quotes, that could be used in helping jehovah's witnesses to become free from the watchtower.

by the mid-1960s the society had apparently forgotten much of what it had learned about the hazards of setting dates.

Thank you Cabasilas and Atlantis!

I really appreciate your clarification as well as jogging my memory. I was at Bethel during this time period and had a small part in putting together the AID book. Yes, the information regarding Paul and Matthias did "revise" from the earlier version. Since I have only the complete version of the AID book, and neither the French nor English LIFE EVERLASTING books, I could not make comparisons and contrasts. I am impressed and pleased that any bit of information can be called up in such a timely manner. Thank you very much for putting some meat on the bones of my skeletal memories!

AID-ing one another spiritually, I remain,

Funny

by Shazard in

i got this new "all false religions going to end" tract put into my mailbox.

i guess coz of my country not being english speaking, there were only small sheet of it covered with these questions, what is false religion, bla bla bla.

what i noticed was funny thing, first they put down all the goverments and religions, and then ask question - which is true religion.

Greetings from sunny California, Shazard!

So wonderful to have contact with new friends, from all over the world! Yes, you are right: it is funny---strangely ironic---that outside sources need to be used to bolster any claim. Authenticity seems to me to be entirely self-sufficient and self-sustaining. The genuine article is good and pure and certainly does not seek verification and approval from the "enemy"! It makes me think of an individual who is very uncertain of himself and his qualifications but masks his insecurity behind a facade of bluster and bravado. Jesus Christ knew who he was and what he had to do; he moved ahead boldly. Neither Caesar nor the Sanhedrin were consulted for their sanction or blessing.

Thank you very much for your observation on this matter!

Yours truly,

Hiya Badboy,

I told a friend, "I don't wear cologne."

She thought I had said, "I don't work alone."

Honestly, an unintended play on words!

My cousins leukemia and treatment.

by JWdaughter in

ok, tonight i found out a family secret that only a few knew.

i had told my mom how i felt about the jw stance on blood, and mentioned how angry i was not knowing if my cousin could have been saved had he gotten a blood transfusion.

she finally told me tonight, when we were going to a seminar about lung cancer, that my cousin had indeed gotten a blood transfusion!

compound complex

Dear JW Daughter,

I'm very sorry about the entire situation: your cousin's condition, the family's grief, and, importantly, your righteous indignation---or is it RAGE!?!? I'm struggling with this issue too, but now isn't the time to go there. Your thread caught my eye because I learned last night that my cousin has terminal lung cancer, which has already spread to vital organs. My bad news connected me to yours and so, at the very least, I am aware; none of us is alone in his or her grief. Blessings and love and peace to you and yours,

CoCo

Hey Atlantis,

This book has very special meaning for me as it was my first brush with apostasy, in the days before apostasy! I hope I've got my titles correct---perhaps you can confirm. The revised version stated that Matthias became one of the twelve "as the lot fell upon" him. (Acts 1:26) The original version, however, had the apostle Paul serving as one of the twelve. In the French copy, though, it was still Paul (six months behind). Knowing the new light, I made a rather insistent point, while conducting, that what the poor West Indian friends were reading was not correct. Lead balloons go over much better than my "correction" did. It pays never to go ahead of the FDS!

I sit corrected,

CoCo
