  by myjourney in

  1. social
  2. family

  i haven't been on here much, but every so often i try and keep up with the discussions.

  i'm sure this topic has been talked about before, so my apologies in advance if i'm repeating.. a little about me.... i'm a non baptized jw married to a devout jw.

  both my husband and i were raised in the organization.

  You are quite right in saying you have an equal right in saying how your children are brought up .Forget this bullshit about Man being the head of the house to make all important decisions..... Hogwash.

  That rubbish has been nourished throughout history by the Hebrew Scriptures , the Christian Greek Scriptures , and the Quran /Koran to name a few with the full intent of keeping women in their place , downtrodden

  I am a male ,father and husband to two boys.Sadly we were JW`s for 37 years and I regret bringing my boys up in this religion as head of the house.( Even though we are all out now ) Some damage you can never undo.

  Don`t make that mistake.

  Stick by your guns and don`t let yourself be intimidated by anyone.Your children`s future depends on it.

  Your second response here seems a very well conceived plan to implement , there has to be compromise on both your parts .

  You must have a voice in how your children are to be educated , in a secular sense and religiously .

  I wish you well and take care

  Convention Weirdness

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well i just got back from 3 days in hell, and geez was this convention strange or what?

  im sure someone's probably made a topic about this already but i can't believe that there weren't any new releases besides the movies.

  has that ever happened before?

  In the 1970`s-80`s their was speculation about preaching a message of doom associated with a campaign of successive brochures that we were delivering world wide.

  Nothing eventuated of course.

  In the 1980`s the UN ,"the abomination that causes desolation" pronounced a year of " Peace and Security ".... 1 Thes.5:3 nothing happened

  Every time a failed prophecy is exposed , it`s excuse turns out to be New Light .

  Want to serve,

  Did the prodigal son have to work his way back , before his father welcomed him back into the family ?

  How long before they accept you back ? How long have you been waiting jumping through their hoops already ?

  When Jesus forgave sinners ,was there a condition of a time limit involved ? or was it immediate forgiveness and no restrictions.

  Think about it.
