Judging from the public schools in my city, you are better off being homeschooled. I was home schooled and it turned out pretty well for me.
And it had nothing to do with being a JW. My mom gave me a choice and chose to try it and I liked it.
how many jw kids are homeschooled where you are?
its not very common here in the borough where i live.
i just found out on the grapevine that a girl i know is taking her kids out of our very good primary school because she feels the other children are having such a bad influence on her kids.

to this day, i still can't drink shasta cola or lemon-lime soda.
when i was a kid, you would buy these books of "food tickets".
the tickets were traded for terrible food.
At the international convention a couple years ago we got food tickets.

i would ve taken an ak47 and mowed those people down to protect the brothers.
i can disagree all i want but violence isn t the answer..
Bots, its not defending the JW's that we jumped on. It's just the way you said it. You say violence is never the answer and then talk about how you wish to get violent. If violence is NEVER the answer, then that would carry over to your AK-47.
If you had said something like "Big bad protestors using violence against defenseless Witnesses. Let's see how man they are if I pulled a rifle on them and gave them a piece of their own medicine" we wouldn't have said what we did.
i really had a hard time accepting certain scriptures as being an "extension" to modern-day jw's.
examples:.
ip-2 cp6 pg87 paragraph 87: "for gods exiled people in babylon, those words are an assurance that the promised land will not remain desolate.
Every time they say extension I guess you could say that it's a reach.
leavingwt mentioned on another thread the age of his wife when she was baptized.
she was a child.
how can you expect a child to make such a decision?.
coffee... a true believer... at age 8. Is that even possible?
I was 12.
this is a statement from the article 8/1/1996 questions from readers "since jesus has now been empowered as the one to conquer in gods name, it seems reasonable that his father has told him when the end will come, when he will complete his conquest.. oh, joy, oh, joy!
so the boy finally found out the date of the big a. it certainly seems reasonable!
even jesus gets new light from time to time....
Dagoth, I'd like to know which scripture they are basing those assumptions on...
this is breaking news!
it comes from my inside sources is psycho-land and they are trustworthy.
trust me.
If it's on Six Screens, it has to be true. Can't wait to hear from Janette this week!

Oh Botzwana, if the bedroom intruder is in a position where he can rape my loved ones, he's clearly already knocked me out, killed me or I'm not even home.
you will need to be signed in to youtube to see it, or go to the bulgarian website (link below).

beat the pastors of jehovah's witnesses and wrecked their prayer house.. story from a bulgarian website - google translated.. .
The violence is awful but in all reality, things like these just bolster the JW persecution complex.

I highly doubt anyone is going to break into my house and start raping my loved ones. I better hide my wife, hide my kids, hide my husbands cause Botzwana's ridiculous scenarios is rapin everybody up in here!
