just my 2 cents : I agree with blondie, but in this case I think it is a bit more then that. Listen to an active JW parent talk about how they are raising their children......you would think we have presants and parties every day. But the reality is quite diffrent regardless of how loved or joyful our parents make it.

out of 19 or so kids how many will be gay? how many girls wanna wear pants? or dance? like seriously they can not even kiss before marriage. there will be some serious saddness for at least one of the duggar children who WILL at one point act out (or just be who they are ) and will have to go thru not living up to their parents high control religious beliefs. There will at the very least be tears, trauma and heartache ... pointless stupid heartache.

i know i don't post here often.... i just lurk around and read most of the threads daily (from my phone)....but today is one of those days that i just feel like "blah"... i dont care about anything, i realize i dont have anything, all my friends are busy or with their own set of problems... and i just dont want to bother then.. it sucks..... i just need to vent, let everything out... i really want to scream, but i cant... i wish i could run away from everything and just start fresh, i feel like a failure and i just dont like me at all....i was so down a few days ago i was thinking about going back to the hall, because i feel so lonely... but i refused to let my depression make me do something so silly... .

thanks for even looking at this thread... i just need it to vent or i am going to explode.... :(.

My Husband's Kids Have Cut Him Off

by headisspinning in

well, my husband's worst fear has happened.

he told his kids, ages 15 and 10 that he was coming to visit them over the holidays.

his ex-wife limits his telephone contact to one call per week, so when he called them last week to arrange the specific days he would see them, his son told him that he got baptized back in september and would no longer be willing to see his father.. this came as a complete shock.

court order ASAP! CALL THE COPS to enforce it! Get a lawyer ASAP! Maybe try telling the kids tha he is their spiritual head? i dont know this sucks!!!!

Why move magazine printing from the U.S. to Canada?

the january 2011 issues were printed in canada so the change was made.. the wts spent millions of dollars enlarging and updating the printing operations in wallkill so they could consoladate the book and magazine printing at the one location.

it was in 2004 that they stopped the presses in brooklyn and began book production in wallkill.. now just 6 years later they suppossedly sold several of their presses from the u.s. and canada, bought a large new very fast press for canada and had to enlarge the printery there to accomodate it.. now the canada branch will print over 260 million magazines for the u.s.each year and all the expansion done in wallkill was for nothing.. does anyone know why this was done?.

Gayle Everyone who is Canadian (and resides here) has healthcare - regardless of anything. We pay premiums that vary from province to province depending on your income levels. Some provinces have better benifts then others. Some employers will pay your premiums for you, as well as additional benifits like prescriptions etc...

I have have a feeling that while yes to the Org it is all about $, and the move benifits them financialy..... but oh how it excits the rank and file!!!! Oh the talks of how we are moving the printing to Canada, because of the US government cracking down after 911, and look how close we are getting they are moving the printing .......the society is busy getting things ready to keep up the info thru the great tribulation.... oh so silly and oh so sad! A change up like this gets everyone talking about getting their house in order, Gods direction....yadda yadda

Had a Frustrating Discussion with Mom...

by tenyearsafter in

my 80 something year old mom is a die hard jw, but to her credit, she has not shunned me.

as would be expected, she is always "praying" that i return to jah and get reinstated.

is consistent...every time my wife and i see her, she always tries to steer the conversation to "how bad the world" has become.. today, she escalated the "theocratic attack" by coming out directly and asking me what i thought of world conditions.

ditto........litterly ditto!

:( your right it could be worse they could shun us or turn us in...lol
