I think this is left over from dubdays, dunno. When I need to be assertive I fizzle out. My husband was furious when he came home. I hired 2 teenagers who advertised in the paper for yard work. They gave me a price of $180.00. I said ok, there was a lot of work that needed to be done.

The yard in question is abour 3/4 of an acre. I went out to check and seen they were not getting the rocks. I pointed that out. Asked them to please get the rocks as we agreed. They mucked the corral but could have gotten more than they did, anyways..I basically paid $20 an hour for a crappy job. I knew it. I just couldn't tell them I would refuse to pay until they did the job right.

Whats wrong with me!

back in the late 80's and early 90's in southern california, some where near la.

there was a school for jehovah's witness kids, does anyone remember what it was called

The one I am thinking of was near the one ways in Norwalk, it also closed down, I remember my parents saying that they wanted to send my sister and me there, but it turns out it was a school mostly for bad JW kids, seems that none of us can remember the names of the schools ha ha ha are we trying to block it out?

What a small world. I lived on Pioneer Bld right at the Norwalk brder of Artesia and went to the Norwalk congo a few times. Studied with two very sweet older ladies. It was early 80s then, I never heard of a school there but my daughter was a baby so probably wouldn't been in the know with what they were doing with the older kids. I am trying now to start piecing together the jagged edges of my past. I remember fine from 4 to 8. That is when the Watchtower came in to my life. I have blocks of time that are just not there. People will tell me do you remember when ......... and sometimes with many hints I may, some stuff is still blocked. When your life is one nightmare after another, when you wake up you try to forget that aweful dream.

S4, the name does sound familiar but my memory of that era is really bad. I'll send the names to my daughter. She still has some friends from the school. They are all either Christians now or out of the org.

I gotta be honest, the education was very good. They used Saxon math for those of you that are familiar with textbooks. They did not use any WT literature in the school which was kinda wierd. You would think that they would. After I got out of the org. and explained why to the kids, (my poor daughter thought I had lost my mind) I put them in the Seventh Day Adventist Academy that was highly rated. They were not behind at all. The public schools were pretty bad we did try them but it was horrible. Both kids went on to college and do fine.

The schools focus didn't seem to be to teach them JW doctrine, but to keep them away from "worldy" people.

My kids went to a JW school in Southern California, Riverside a little east of LA. I don't know that it had a name. It was all word of mouth, no advertising. It was off Magnolia Ave on Elizabeth Ave. I would drop them off at their JW school, then go clean houses with my JW friends. lol...typical

My kids actually liked it, they went until it closed down. They did teach secular studies well. After it closed they went to the house of one of the teachers, she had turned the garage into a classroom.

What can I tell ya, I was screwed up.
