  My Fiancé Can No Longer Talk to Me Because She is Becoming a JW

  i've been with someone for over ten years.

  sounds like a long time to be engaged, but we were perfectly happy with the arrangement, knowing that some of the circumstances in each of our lives needed to be worked out before we could marry.

  one day she told me that she wanted to investigate the jws.

  three simple but very powerful words .

  my son and i working together last night on my jobs talked about this very subject.

  i told him that although my witness mom was always affectionate , and tells me and my siblings she loves us , my elder father has only told me that he loves me once or twice , if that - my entire life.

  its funny.. after reading this thread again i got to thinking.. My dad is my dad.. he raised me and he was a amazing dad i love him more than anything. But i recently met my biological father. And each time i see him he tells me he loves me.... is that even possible? to meet a child after 29 years and tell them u love them?

  barbie doll, Yes my mother had severe bipolar. I have my suspicions that it may have been more than that as well : ( she did not take medication when i was a kid So it was really bad.i remember my dad having her committed a couple of times it was so bad. She is on meds now and is a completely different person. I have a bit of resentment on that one. i wish she had just taken the meds when us kids were growing up.. it would have made a world of difference.. but i guess i should be happy that she takes it at all.

  Discipline

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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 do not have children myself either, but i was a nanny for ten years. I found that every child is different and every child must be dealt with according to their needs. There were some kids that all i had to do was look at and they would stop doing whatever it was that hthey were doing. and there were other kids that i would have to pick up and put in Time out or as some of my kids would call it "the naughty corner" haha.. And there were other kids that i would have to take privileges away to get my point across. I do not believe in Spankings or beatings as a nanny that was not allowed anyways! but i do believe in discipline but my point of my rambleings is each child is different and you have to discipline or deal with them in different ways. I do believe that by being kind and showing the children in a loving way what is right and wrong, is the best way to deal with them. But its important to stand your ground as a caretaker and not allow them to get away with murder or let them do whatever they want to do otherwise they are the "boss" and not you.
