Very open minded, I tend to accept people for who they are. I don't judge anyone as I don't like to be judged!

1) don't want to deal with it at meetings is what i think would be on the top of the list.they see what others have to go through.. 2) i know a married couple jws, that are avoiding having kids, and i've heard of reasons from them like.... "don't want to raise them up in this system".
"time is too short".
"i'll wait until the next system of things".
Balsam,
I'm so sorry to hear about your children. The loss of a child is something I can't even begin to imagine. I hope you don't shun your children.

I have 3, no planning just kinda happend. I love them more than life, although sometimes I just wanna......
Anyway, I'm now looking forward to grandchildren so I can spoil them rotten and watch my children suffer!!!! And since I only have boys I want them all to have a couple of girls, just to liven things up a bit!

we all have different talents etc and as ive never been a witness just read their books why is it that we have 3 kids and our youngest has a gifted mathmatical mind (teacher says hes in the top %2 of the population at 5 years old ) .
would the jw then say this is from satan ?
and if not then why could he not use it to his greater good , my question isnt about jw doctrine , i just think about this when jw come to visit me as its got to be from somewhere ??
I don't think talent/brains is "given", it's in the genetic make-up of a person. If you go back into that childs family history, I'm sure that someone was musically inclined, very smart or talented in some way or another. The same for genetic disabilities.
The problem is when the natural talent is not encouraged or developed, when it's stunted to do something else as in door to door preaching full time, or Bethel service or even marraige at an early age just to prevent that child from having pre-marital sex.

nothing spectacular going on, just hanging out with my siblings and neice....talking, watching t.v., and reminiscing about when we were little.
just taking in this moment and enjoying it for all it's worth with the people i love most in the world.
i've learned recently that there's nothing better than living in the present.

dear friends and fellow sojourners,.
i have not had much time to post here and i miss you all horribly.
even as i start this topic, i worry that i will not have the time to babysit it as i should but i just wanted to bleed out some of my thoughts after a visit with my mother and brother recently--thoughts that you and only you will understand.. i have not seen my mother in over a year.
I can definately relate - i just spoke with my parents. Elderly, bad health, bills out the ying yang, and they just took out another mortgage, purchased a used car, gave my sister their old car, ran up a new credit card for my sis's kids.......all on a fixed income namely Social Security and very small amount of pension as they did not prepare for this time in life that wasn't supposed to come.
Wait on Jehovah, he will fix everything, we wont have to pay these bills because Jah will take care of them!

i find myself with no college degree and a secretary at 25 years old.
i know i can't stay here for the rest of my life.
so i'm trying to figure out what i could do to get myself on a path actually leading somewhere.
I don't know much about it, but I feel strongly that if you have a dream and you have the ability to make that dream come true, go for it.
Maybe you could do it on the side while still working your full time job, until you get established. That way you will still be able to make ends meet. Who know's those ends maybe overlapping in just no time at all!!
Good luck, I think you can do it
