JW's and home schooling?

by semelcred in

i don't wish to offend any that are teaching their kids at home, but today i was again confronted by a situation where a jw family were home schooling.

the kids had little structure to their routine and without putting the mum down, she was no teacher in an academic sense.. the subject is close to my heart because my parents who are witnesses, took my younger brothers out of school and home tutored them.

the were subjected to below standard education and limited in social skills, particularly as my parents are crap at these skills themselves.. i have grown to hate home schooling except in the situation of medical or logistical situations.. what are your comments good or bad and do you think the option to home school is abused by the witness community?.

My parents had me do pearblossom home school. The crazy thing is that some of the credits that were acceptable were studying and answering the questions at the end of each section in the young people ask book. It was a witness run school. I never finished but recently got my GED. Funny that my parents would rather me go out in service full time rather than graduate high school. STUPID CULT!

Jevovah's Witnesses and mental health

by bubba flavel in

does anyone know if the society has specific policies on the handling of members with mental health problems?.

my grandfather, a brother in good standing since moses developed paranoid schizophrenia in his later years.

he got to the stage where he would knock people over in the street, place his hand on thier head and cast out evil spirits in the name of jehovah.. he was disfellowshiped and not long after he passed away.. this was related to me by a friend years later as i was unaware due to the shunning, i didn't even know he died.
