this is kind of a secondary thread to the one i started about my conversation with my mom the other day about the bethel thing with my older brother !
so, my mom starts talking with me about my dad 82, an elder in the congregation for 53 years being drained and exhausted , and stressed as he has no help in his book study he conducts !
as some of you know , my sister, who lives near my parents just had a stroke , and my mom and dad have been having to help her out with her house, feed the cat while she is in physical therapy - and drive down an hour one way to see my sister in physical therapy , a lot to do for them being 80 and 82 !
FLIPPER- Actually he minds his own business, as far as my mother is concerned, and when I said he would tell us to F-ourselves, I meant that he would blast us with his best JW condemnation plus instant JC with apostate topping. He's not a bad person in general, but his fanaticism is going to get him in trouble one of these days if it ever leads him to give my mother a bad time.

FLIPPER- You can't tell crap's nephew anything that he doesn't know already. He can be such a douchebag sometimes, and yet I still feel love towards him.

My nephew, also an elder has talked my 71 year old Mother into pioneering this month. Never mind the fact that she works hard cleaning houses, does all of his laundry, and feeds half the cong
Yeah, this guy is UBER Witness #1. He had his own little meetings as a kid starting at probably 4 or 5 years old, complete with talks and all the nonsense. His meetings followed the exact format of the regular meetings, and when I would visit as a child, he would let me have "parts" on his program. All I got were #2's though, and after a while he wouldn't let me do those because I laughed my ass off all through them. The part I remember most was how pissed off he would get if there were interruptions. I bet he still acts the same way in his JC's
i'm not a parent myself, so i'm only speaking from my own personal experiences as a child and as an observer.. do you or don't you believe in discipline?
i believe in it - i'm not talking beating your kid to a pulp or any verbal abuse like that.
i do believe that a smack, grounding and an explanation of why is not a bad thing if the child has misbehaved (not for some trivial thing either).
I think if children were disciplined in the right way, there would fewer problems as teenagers, but who can say what the right way is. Guess it differs for all children. When my 2 kids were growing up I used to spank them and took away some of the things they liked to do. But I found out that a good old fashioned spanking with abelt or flyswatter did more good than anything. My son reads this site, so he will get a kick out of remembering that. Anyway, they are both now really well adjusted adults with kids of their own and they turned out just fine, so spank away. It does'nt hurt a thing
She used to get pissed at me about something, and if she didn't have anything in her hand, I'd see her looking around for whatever she could get her hands on. Usually, she would reach down and take off her flip-flop and start swinging. She did it for the right reasons though, and I don't begrudge her that she did it, in fact I love her very much for how she raised me, JW or not.
my biggest reason: the religion is stupid.
plain and simple.
And thank goodness my son has helped me see that
Your welcome.

i can't get the picture to post.

No sports. I never got to play football, and that just sucks. Mostly though, it was just that I realized that it couldn't possibly be true.
