Do You Believe It Is Wrong To "Discipline" Your Child In A Physical Way?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
my grandkids were being mouthy and they learned a new phrase, "shut your mouth".

it could be directed to their parents, grandparents or anyone who said something they didn't like.

they are 2 and 4 years old and beautiful children.

JW directives you thought were downright stupid
by fallen_princess in
1. jw
2. experiences
i remember one time when i was about 17 years old, i wanted to arrange a costume party for the young brothers in the congo around my age.

i suggested it to one of my friends and was told that the elders had advised against it because it could be construed as pagan and masks have their roots in demonism.

of course, i was never shown any biblical proof of this but just that response took the wind out of my sails and i decided to just not go through with it.

Sorry about this absolutley CRAZY insight to my mind.

hello everybody.. even thinking about typing this thread as i lay here in bed at 11.30 at night, is hard enough, but i found some sort of motivation to do it.. i dont expect a massive response really, i guess all i really want to do is empty my mind out and stop things whirring over and over.. i am worried for my brother (younger brother he is 23) he is in guernsey channel islands (uk) and is in and out of intensive care drugs etc an there are a thousand more strings attached.

(drugdealers after him, homeless, jobless, about to go to prsion long story).

its a worry for me as his older brother.

Counselled on chatting to a study!
by Penn9 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
hey all, i'm new to posting, but i've lurked for a while.

quick intro: i'm a 25 yr old guy, brought up a jw, strayed for a while, then got baptized convinced it was the best thing for me, the rest of the world is satanic, etc.

i overcame that ridiculous belief and i know the truth about "the truth" but my friends and family are all deep into the cult so leaving is a huge risk that i'm not willing or ready to take.

KS10-Chapter Seven Discussion
by yknot in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
chapter 7 from 'shepherding the flock of god' published by the wts of penn/ny is part of their worldwide bible educational work.

the wts is a non-profit whose publications are not for sale but are freely given to those who show 'genuine' interest..... while not required, a donation is always joyfully accepted .

while admittedly my feelings were hurt by "the boys" yanking my 4shared files.. anywho.... the other part of my brain says 'it ain't personal' and just a game.....hey yall get out of 'whatever' your normal task is right!!
