yes that's right, our own terry will be taking the podium this week.. terry is an insightful contributor to jwd and his story, "my life in jehovah's service," is available here.

terry is writing a book about his prison experiences, i wept by the waters of babylon.

as you might expect, he has put together quite a commentary on this week's lesson: the word of jehovah never fails.

No offense, but I hope he's a better conductor than he is a writer.

i have had this problem all my life.

i have a child that also has it.

since people with adhd have a problem fitting into organizations do you think it may be one of the reasons why you just couldn't take the jw's any more.

I agree my knowledge on the subject is limited, I just wonder whether it is a new phenomenon and am puzzled as to why you never read of any Victorian kids with it.

I had two Eminem albums that an elder guilt tripped me over so I got rid of them.

Then I bought another copy of my favourite of the two albums and hid it. But I was racked with guilt so got rid of it again.

Then last year when I left I bought the same album along with about seven other Eminem ones. And a couple of fifty cent. Eek.

There was a kid who had it in our hall, he was the son of a woman who was studying. In the book study he wold play up, and once he got up in the middle of the study and crawled behind a cupboard and the book conductor had to drag him out. It must have been really hard for him to sit still.

But I also believe that too many kids are labelled with the ADD badge these days, leaving me to doubt its existence. Many times I wonder whether it's simply a lack of discipline. I'm dreading becoming a teacher, to be honest, when if I tell the kids off I get the parents ringing up with the "Don't you know he's got ADD" line.....
