  yes, friends, it's that time once more... when we clip some wt art to a post and try to find all the subliminal wt propaganda messages hidden in the illustration.

  (kinda like, "can you find the differences between these two drawings" for kids in the sunday comics).

  here's the illustration:.

  What planet are they freakin' on??? I mean, everything is off. The fashion is still

  circa 1980, and do they seriously think ANY group of teenagers are going to sit

  around and play with blocks????

  Is it me or are some people a bit too sensitive? I don't mean that I advocate giving

  someone mean and nasty verbal abuse, but it seems like some people get offended for

  little reasons...for instance, I had a question about parenting with my son. Some of the

  posts were quite direct and not exactly what I wanted to hear, but after considering

  everything said, I realized that there was a ring of truth behind the harsh words and I took

  a look at myself and realized that I needed to adjust my actions a bit.

  So Outlaw, if you're lurking, please come back!

  I adore your amusing posts. They always make laugh.

  me laugh.

  TO ALL LURKERS: the WTS approves of parents humilating their children!

  no person can escape rendering an account to god.

  5 after showing that children are not free from rendering an account, the apostle paul goes on to stress the obligation of the parents before god: "and you, fathers, do not be irritating your children, but go on bringing them up in the discipline and authoritative advice of jehovah.

  since parents will render an account for the way they bring up their children, the question arises: what is jehovah's discipline?.

  You're a lawyer? I'm a court reporter going to law school.

  Rethinking it now though.

  Thanks, Cage!! No, he was not raised a JW. I made sure of that, but his childminder

  was a JW. She was from a lovely family of 10 children, and they took very good care of

  him, plus I knew that he was in good hands. He did go out in service a lot in his pushchair

  with his childminder though....but he has always seen through the ruse and the hypocrisy

  of the organisation, even at a young age. But I am sure I've done other things to cause him

  to have issues!

  Briffoux...that's exactly what he's doing. My uncle's company was contracted to do

  the job. I guess if you're a train lover it's a dream opportunity!!! This is his first

  "adult" decision and I think one that he will never forget.

  First of all, thank you everyone for your advice. Some of it was a bit harsh,

  but it made me scrutinize myself a bit more..but here is the outcome....and I

  am so proud of him.

  My mother came over last night and talked to my son. I stayed in the background and

  listened. She said basically everything you lot were saying. He had tears in his eyes he

  was so worried about letting his boss down. He stated he really wanted to go. Then all of

  a sudden it clicked. He looked at me and said, "what time should I go in tomorrow to tell

  him?" And that was it. He made the decision on his own and I stayed back and let him.

  I followed him to the petrol station and got gas and coffee while he went to talk to his

  boss in the back. I told him to just say that he made up his mind, he was going, and that

  since he was due to work today in an hour, he would be happy to stay and work but that

  on Sunday he was leaving for Dallas. I don't know exactly how it happened, but he came

  out looking relieved and said he was working and it was done. I got my petrol and left.

  I didn't even see his boss, but when I do next time, I plan on apologising for my actions,

  but I think I will mention how my son struggled over the decision to the point of tears.

  There are not that many 20-year-olds that would be that conscientious.

  So he's off to Dallas. He will be working near the stadium, I think. He will be working with

  steam trains, taking them apart and moving them to another location, and this is right where

  he needs to be since the first word out of his mouth wasn't Mummy...it was choo choo, and since

  then he's been obsessed with trains.

  Thank you everyone for your input..even those of you who were a bit harsh on me.

  Bit I think I probably had it coming!
