  My family and I will be heading to California next week to go to Disneyland. We have two children under 4, so I was thinking about bringing at least one stroller.

  What is the weather like in November? Would a sweatshirt be warm enough, or a light winter coat? We're from Canada, so I thought a down filled jacket might be too toasty.

  Any tips for our trip? We were planning on spending 3 or 4 days at the park, and then need to find something to do on Saturday because we have a late flight home.

  Thanks!

  were you raised in it?

  if not, what caused you to convert?

  Exactly tootired2care, I had doubts at 16 thanks to that purple interlinear Bible, but had to shove them aside. There wasn't really the Internet to check things out as much as you can today.

  How sneaky the witnesses are telling newly studying ones that "Satan" might try and attack them or give them doubts when they are first learning the "truth." When my parents were first studying they got a lot of flack from family and chalked it up to "persecution." the only reason my parents studied was because my Gradmother was kind of a witness and they wanted to raise my sister and me with good morals. I wish they had picked another church.

  Stay At Home Moms/Dads

  i have a 3 and 1 year old.

  hubby is a stay at home dad and i take care of the bills.

  i have to, cause instead of working on his career when he was younger, he decided to pioneer- that is something that now i have to pay the price for which really sucks.. i feel that since i pay the bills, it's his job to cook and do all of the cleaning.

  I am a stay at home mom with a 4 year old and 1 1/2 year old. I struggle to keep the house clean, the children tear it apart in two seconds flat. That being said, I do make sure to have dinner ready most nights by the time my husband is home from work. I do all the laundry, bill paying, grocery shopping, and most of the cleaning.

  It's nice your husband is able to stay home with the children. It isn't easy! But he does need to pull more weight in the housekeeping department. I would also recommend counseling (especially if your work has an employee assistance program), and discuss expectations of how you both contribute to the family. You definitely shouldn't be working all day and doing the housework and cooking!

  Is your husband depressed? There are some cool free courses on coursera.org your husband could check out and see what he's interested in. Perhaps he can do some online courses so he can be prepared to get a career in a few years? It might be nice for him to have something to work towards.

  JWs way behind Mormons in modern witnessing methods

  Mormons came to my door a few weeks ago and left me with a business card with their official website address on it. I thought it was much more modern than the JW tracts and pamphlets.

  Their website also seems more interesting than the JWs, having printable coloring pages and activites for children who go to their convention (or whatever they call it).

  Although I don't agree with their beliefs, they seem more up to date in reaching others with their message.

  I really liked what you said about the thin veneer of love JWs have, it is so true. You handled yourself so well, very composed, and held your own.

  Femine supplies advice help needed

  by jws in

  2. family

  i'm divorced and i have a daughter who is nearly 11. last year she watched a video in school covering upcoming body changes (which she already knew about).

  but one suggestion they gave that i didn't think of was to go get femine supplies and be prepared for when the time comes.

  i like being prepared ahead of time for emergencies.

  It's very commendable that you want to be prepared. I would recommend unscented products, and have a box of panty liners, medium flow pads with wings, and over night pads with wings.

  Maybe a book to leave in her room, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Care-Keeping-American-Girl-Library/dp/1562476661/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1349243502&sr=1-5&keywords=Girls+bodies

  She can keep an emergency stash of supplies in a makeup bag in her backpack for school, with an extra pair of underwear.

  My Mom did not teach me about this rite of passage, luckily I had a smart little sister.
