Oubliette, I will have you know that I was an incredibly effective ESL TA when I was doing work study. I can point to numerous adult students in my neighborhood for helping them to grasp English, especially pronunciation and idioms. I do not always hold myself to the same standards when posting on an anonymous forum. The overcrowding in his class is causing sickness and bullying and the poor pregnant teacher can't control her classroom, but neither could I if I were a substitute in that class. I just got a truancy letter a few minutes ago. I was so focused on my kid getting caught up on his schoolwork and giving him his medication, that I forgot to inform them that he was sick a few days out of the many days he was absent. It has been virus after virus at that place. I just have contempt for the system at this point. I have come to the realization that as the only non-JW it is my responsibility to look out for my children's future and my wife's old age because it is a sin for them to plan their future in a rational manner. Thus far into the marriage I have argued and argued with my wife about her religion and how it is ruining my life and the children's lives. I realize now that if I plan for our future she will see how much better our lives will be than that of her friends' families. Lord save my family from the Kingdom Hall and the School District, that they might outgrow both.

Semi Home Study Based Charter School vs. Regular School
by SonoftheTrinity ini blame my stepkids bad grades in school squarely on the watchtower.
they don't get enough sleep because of the demands of family bible study and thursday meetings but comprimise isn't in my wife's vocabulary.
my stepson has friends at school but there are also bullies, and the classes are overcrowded with sicknesses spreading through them in a way that is detrimental to the family's health.

I blame my stepkids bad grades in school squarely on the watchtower. They don't get enough sleep because of the demands of family bible study and thursday meetings but comprimise isn't in my wife's vocabulary. My stepson has friends at school but there are also bullies, and the classes are overcrowded with sicknesses spreading through them in a way that is detrimental to the family's health. The fact that the schools get their money based on how many children are sitting in the classroom seems to encourage the overcrowding. There is a new charter school in the school district that is homework based, and gets its money based on the homework that the children do. The kids get two days of school instead of five days, and the rest of the week is spent doing homework. The class sizes are less than 10 students to a teacher. I have an associates degree with childhood development coursework so I can help him with the increased homework. My kid is getting bullied both by his mother with religion and with the kids at school for having a high pitched voice and being a Dub kid. He is getting sick a lot because of overcrowding and stress from the bullying both at school and at home. So he is going to that Charter School. But my one concern is that with the small class size and school only 2 days a week, his social and emotional development might be stunted by the reduced days and class size. He is a shy kid with developmental social anxiety, meaning so many kids have it that the kid shrinks can't call it a disorder. There are no flag salutes or all day holiday nonsense to make him feel excluded and out of place. This school seems like a good fit, but I fear he will be even more isolated within the world of the Jehovah's Witnesses, at least other children might not recognize him when he goes out witnessing. It seems like a happy medium between homeschooling and regular school but the limited socializing plus going to school outside the neighborhood worries me. There is also a good chance he may be the only child of color in his class. -

Sounds like the attacker was someone whose life was ruined by the JWs, but I shouldn't jump to conclusions. -

That is true, if you don't pay enough attention to it to realize it is bullshyt then you will die, either from refusing a blood transfusion or become another baldfaced empty suit zombie like all the grown ups around you in the meeting. -

Jehovah's Witnesses are Boko Haram for Wussies!
by SonoftheTrinity inthe meaning of the name boko haram is "secular education is forbidden".
so due to their stance on higher education, i charge that jehovah's witnesses are the same as them only not as valiant in their madly misguided doctrine.

Jehovah disapproves of Child Abuse in his name, and discouraging a child from going to University is Child Abuse! Yes one prophecy of the Watchtower is true, that false religions will be destroyed, so they prophesy against themselves. -

I always imagined the ancient Israelites to be rather like the Woodabe of West Africa. Men were the sex objects, and women chose not only the wealthiest and most pious, but especially the most handsome husbands whether they were already married or not. Even in modern Judaism a man cannot initiate a divorce. -

The Coptic Orthodox Church has anathematized them as a Jewish Sect.
