I'm sure there are many positives and negatives about home schooling. One negative I've noticed is many children that I've seen that are or have been home schooled do not have physical education many are not fit and don't seem to be atheletic of course you might say, many in schools are also unfit and that may be true but at least they have some serious direction on how to take care of themselves physically and they are introduced to competetive sports.

Home Schooling
by WTWizard init seems that there are a lot of witlesses that opt to home school their children.
i had a family in my former congregation that did that, because the kids did not want to be around worldly people (sounds familiar?).
it also seems that they are speeding things up, so the children can get out there and pioneer that much sooner.

Thank you so much for this. It's just what is needed for those who have begun a study with the borg. I wish my wife and I had this kind of information when we studied with the borg in the late 70's. If we had, we wouldn't have gone through 30's years of control and blindness.

Maybe Brenda is counter-intelligence sent out by the GB to make us all look immature and crazy PS Danny Hazard could also be one of them.
The best way to beat the borg is by ignoring it and living a happy life and Thriving
but for us that broke out, it was funny in some crazy way

an interesting experience
by ldrnomo inover the last 7 years i have been helping a young man who is now 16 and whose mom is a witness.
his mom has three children all different fathers the young man i have been helping had a father in prison and 6 months after he was released he was shot and killed so my young man has never really had a father.
since i have stopped going to meetings about a year ago his fat ass mother who is basically worthless has resisted my help to her son.

Ok so I just wrote a long post and when I tried to submit it I got an error and it was all gone so I'll try it again
If my young friend is kicked out of his mother's house because he keeps talking to me then he can claim his legal independence from her collect welfare and continue on to finish high school and go to college in the meantime, my wife and I will talk to her brother who rents a house from us and takes in a border and see if we can get our young friend in with him. The only time now that I see him is when he needs help, a ride, some advice, etc.etc.etc. He does not attend meetings that often because his mom got a job and she's too tired to go to most of the meetings so he's off the hook for the most part I don't think he go's door to door either but we don't talk about it. I don't want to continue rambling so I'll let him say somthing through a poem he wrote last year:
I guess this is my life, dis is how it goes. Will it ever change, someday I suppose...Mother's mad at me, but can you blame me for not being sad you see....So many say they wanna work so there kids can have a better life then they had, but rarely does it happen...So many times they follow suit. Will I look back and regret the time not well spent or will I grow not carin' bout the time or where it went....Sometimes I resent but never do I hate. Other times I argue to set matters straight... She's imperfect and so am I so can I blame her for the tears I cry. Sometimes I'm so disgusted I just wanna shed my skin. I ask myself will it ever end, as much as I try I can't change her. So I gotta change within to win.... My whole life I never had a dad and blamed my mom for the stuff I never had. When he died I felt nothin but anger cause my heart wouldn't let me hurt for a stranger (or is it that it was just too much pain for me to deal with?). ... Am I just a victim of stuff I can't change or the things I do to maintain? I wish my problems would disappear like David Blane but I know that's fake, so I gotta try to cope and stay sane.... Only fifteen but got grown men's thoughts runnin through my brain. Does that make me wise beyond my years or does that mean I gotta face my fears n' dry my tears. ... It tears my heart to see how far we have grown apart but it would kill me to let you close again so I stick my heart up and keep on movin. ... Till the end I love you dearly and someday we'll be perfect and see our situation clearly. Till then I guess this is just how life is.... But when I get a family I'm not gonna say it, I'm just gonna do right by my kids and show them how I always wanted to live....
Sorry for the crazy formatting of the poem but I couldn't figure out how to get away from the automatic double spacing that happens
when you hit the enter button
like I just did

Jdubs as much as they are supposed to be seperate are as much a part of the world as anyone else. Sure they don't celebrate holidays but they take advantage of the after holiday sales (buy more things for less money) and they drive the latest cars, have houses, big screen tv's etc. etc. etc
Affluenza is in the air there's no way you can keep from breathing it
It's always been around and it will continue to be it was created in us. "make more" "buy more" "travel more"
Look at the borg itself, more is better right...

Would you support a witness who was refusing a transfusion?
by Caedes ini was thinking about what i would do if a family member was in the situation of refusing a blood transfusion.
if the doctors were trying to force them to accept a transfusion, would i support my family members right to choose or would i take the position that they are brainwashed and are incapable of making a rational choice on the matter?
does the fact that they are hopelessly ill informed take away from their right to make a choice that they know will kill them?

My grandmother before she die, (God rest her soul) LOL
she would always say about other people in her heavy Italian accent
"to-a heach his-a own-a"
If someone want's to die this way, let it be
they may be ill informed but it was their decision to be ill informed after all
We don't go around pulling cigarettes out of peoples mouth to keep them living, why should we go around sticking IV's with blood into their veins.
as for me and my family, we shall accept any thing that may help us to continue living this life that God gave us

Do you believe that the majority of JW's will be saved?
by JH inif there is a god, do you think that the majority of jw's will be saved at armageddon?.
i'm not asking if they have the only true religion, i'm asking if you think they would be saved along with others who do god's will sufficiently to satisfy him.....
