my little 23 year old brother and his wife have been living with my wife and i, and our infant, for a few months now.
it has been a good bonding experience for all of us, at least it was on my end.. my little brother is in a band.
they travel all around the surrounding areas and play a mix between punk and 60s surf rock.
Would it help you know what to do if you realized that the party people are bullies? They're bullying the rest of you, the mom, the grandmom, the kids, your brother, you, whoever is involved, into silence.
Tough if they know it was you! Stand up...for the sake of those kids. PLEASE.

"Do I have a moral obligation to ensure the children's safety?"
When I was a child and terrible things were happening at my mom's house, I used to be terrified and wonder why no one was coming to help. When I grew older and discovered that people did know what was going on but all had their reasons for not helping, I felt like I wasn't worth anything.
Kids need protectors...even against relatives. If the only option is Children's Services then use them.
You have no idea the anguish in a child's mind when that child thinks no one can save him/her....that nobody sees or cares.
You can always call them and say you're not sure, but you were told.....then leave it to them to handle.
A former poster here, LDH. called J. R. ("Get Down") Brown at Brooklyn headquarters and posed as a reporter. She had quite a lengthy conversation with him. If you go through her posts you might find a link to the recording.
I noticed that "the holy spirit" didn't have a name. Jesus did, his great grandad did, but "the holy spirit"? Nada. How can you sit on Jesus' lap, conversing with the holy spirit, and not get its name?
Proverbs 18:13
hey there folks,.
i remember some time ago there was a wonderfully written website which dealt with jehovah's witness children specific type of suppression causing a higher number of very creative children than other religious forms of suppression.
i was wondering if anyone remembered what this link was?.
The perfect complementary thread to this one is Mr. Falcon's thread on "going Galt". There's a time for letting creativity show and a time to keep it hidden; not denied, but not so out there that a person feels forced/midlead into using what they know/do against their better judgement.
raypublisher started this thread: http://www1.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/207626/1/best-way-to-step-down-from-being-a-servant.
it got me thinking, for some wacky reason, of perhaps how i could go about getting relieved of my "privileges".
in the ridicously long-winded novel atlas shrugged by ayn rand, there is a character named john galt.
Terry, honey, the topic of this thread is "going Galt", or, as it is known elsewhere, "strategic incompetence". Now, it's really nice of you to offer your literary expertise, but what the man wanted was a way out of MS responsibilities. Whether or not he comprehends the text in the same way you (or anyone else) does is irrelevant. He got the info he was seeking.

CoCo, you're right. That's what Jesus was trying to tell the apostles when he said if they only had faith the size of a mustard grain they could tell a mountain to move from here to there and it would happen.

It's called Strategic Incompetence in other circles. Google it. Lots of interesting info, including military uses of this tactic.
