heres a bizarre story....tell me what you think!.

court shouldn't regulate one's right to have sex .

by kathleen parker .

I understand your statement. No he should not have anymore kids, as I stated. Would you prefer the courts give him years in jail where we the tax payers are taking care of him and making sure he has 3 square meals a day, cable tv, enough exercise, and if his kids are on the system, we the tax payers are taking care of them. Or would you prefer that the courts order him to get a decent paying job and pay his money and take care of his own kids? Would you speak differently if they were talking about a female? If a female kept having kids by different guys and leaving after a while and leaves the kids with their daddies and keeps having baby after baby. And she owed thousands of dollars for her kids.

The courts ruling is that he stops making kids if he can't afford them. Thats the key word,"if". He can afford them he just choses not to. I'm sure that the 4 mothers involved knew that before their kid or kids came, that there were others before. There's to much birth control out there to be an ooopppsss!!! If you put him in jail, he won't be able to pay, our tax dollars will be taking care of him. The courts should've ordered him to find a job with in a certain amount of time and then whatever he's making, see what each parent gets and he has enough to pay his bills with. Jail isn't the answer. Yes it is a crime to not take care of your kids, its called abandonement. If you make them, you should take care of them, on your own, not forced. If the guy or the female don't want to use any bc, don't have sex. We know that people are going to have sex anyways and say, we'll deal with it when it happens. Bull. To all the deadbeat moms and dads in jail because you didn't pay a certain amount of money, the courts should order you to get a job and pay what you owe. Now, the courts ordering him not to have any more kids is just like ordering a female to or not to have an abortion. Whats the difference, its dealing with one's reproductive organs and their right to reproduce? Do you get where I'm going with this? Females fought like crazy for the
ROEvsWADE so that they could be in control of their own bodies, and kill their babies when they felt like it. They didn't and still don't need the alleged father's permission or signiture to kill their kid so if ROEvsWADE is there for females, what's going to be there for the guys. Is there going to be a ROEvsWADE 11 or is it going to be
WADEvsROE, the other way around?

adoption by jehovah's witnesses is blocked .

the independent - united kingdom; may 26, 2001. by brian farmer.

a couple originally approved by a council as adoptive parents have been refused permission by social workers to adopt a child, because they are jehovah's witnesses.

To Ianano,

You could say that. I've never experienced any shunning from my mother or any the our JW friends or assiciates just because I chose not to be one. The JW's that I've encountered in the past are nice, sweet people. Where do you all come from or live at where you were shunned just because you didn't want to study or come to the hall?

To Nelly 136,

I am sorry that you or anyone else on thses boards were shunned and got treated to bad. I all my years of knowing JW's, I've never been treated like an outcast or with disrespect.

To Agape,

First off, JW aren't a cult. Next, as I got older, I started getting into other things. I chose to venture out and try new things. I knew there were things I wanted to try that they wouldn't appove of. Don't get me wrong, I'm not into drugs or anything like that, I mean drinking, I've tried a few concoctions, I wasn't ready to be in a religion that was so serious and whose standards were and are high. I knew that most likely I wouldn't wait til I was married to have sex and I didn't. My husband and I have been together for years and I knew what I wasn't ready for. Our oldest kid is 6 and we just got married last year. I can defend them the way I do because I don't personally know any JW's that have shunned their kids and family just because they didn't want to be a JW or study. Where are you from? Any Witnesses that I do know who's kids or families didn't want to study or be W's weren't shunned at all. They still help their families out. I've never led any one on to believe I was a JW, I stated a few responses back that I wasn't one. I kept saying that my mother was one, I never said I was. In between switching halls through the years while growing up and meeting new JW's, I've met 100's of W's and none of them are like the W's you've described.

To Ianao,

If you did hear about any thing like that going on in the congregation, they would be immediatley disfellowshipped and thrown in jail. They wouldn't be put out of the place of worship just to be put into another congregation, like most pastors, ministers are. They would allegedly supervise their every move. I would love to hear about a elder or brother being punished because of such an unclean act, I'll be waiting for the day. The church people, from what I've seen and heard on the news get a slap on the wrist. Many times they do less than 6 months in jail, they get 10 years probation and have to pay a stupid fine. J's name is tarnished all the time when W's do things that they know is unacceptable.

To Jason,

No, I'm not saying that if its not in the Watchtower or Awake, that its not true. I was just simply bringing out that you mostly hear of those kind of things being done by people who go to church, money laundering, racketering, you'd think they were office or running for something. And no, its not ignorant, its fact. You can read these type things in the newspaper and other magazines, even ones that aren't religious.

To Waiting,

Thanks for the comment. I'm from Buffalo,NY. My 6 year old is the same way. She can roll her eyes, suck her teeth, stomp, slam doors and roll her neck, put her hands on her hips like she's grown. Now both my daughters have their father wrapped around their fingers, when they say jump, he says how high. They talk to him, majority of the time, any way they want to. With me, they know better. I'm a hands on parent, I won't hesitate to pop that butt, leg or arm if I need to. And I'm not the kind of parent who repeats themself more that 2 or 3 times before I come after you. With my 6 year old, I tell her to do something, I tell her to repeat what I told her to do. Once I know she understands, I give her a few minutes. I'll let 5 min. go then repeat again. I'll let another 5 min. go by and then I'm coming.
My kids are trained where mama don't play that. Don't get me wrong, I talk to my kids all the time. And I tell them, I'm not gonna repeat myself over and over again, like as if I'm pushing a rewind button on a tape recorder. They know the look I give them to. No I don't beat them til their black and blue, but I do believe in discipline. I'm showing them that I love them because I'm taking the time to show them what's right,what's wrong and sometimes the bad things you do or the things you don't do have consequences.

I need some input

by mommy in

hey to all,.

this has nothing to do with jw experiences, but i need some input.

my little girl was hurt at school yesterday.

kenyata

To Mommy,

I read your last comment, sorry about your daughters heart condition that makes her not able to participate in PE, PE does stand for physical education, like gym or swim, right? Just making sure. Jason asked the question why can't your kid participate in PE, I was just going to ask the same ? until I read your response. Good luck.

When I said theres many forms of smacking, I was referring to the places on a kids body that can be smacked. Child abuse isn't smacking your kid in the face. I'm not talking about smacking or slaping the kid in the face over and over again, 1 time is enough. If that kid is mouthing off or sucking their teeth and getting smart, they probably will get a smack on the face, its called discipline. I'm not talking about slapping or smacking them so hard in the face that they flew over a table or they flew across the room, a soft smack.The bible talks about church as being a place of false religion, you know "Babylon the Great", I'm sure you've heard that before. Theres many kids who don't know what discipline is and thats why they are out of control. Beating a kid with an extension cord, a stick, a bat, a chain, burning them intentionally, locking them in a animals cage, not feeding them cause they made you mad, cursing them out like they are grown and stole something, beating them to the point where they have bruises on them or until they pass out, touching them in a sexual manner, doing sexual things to them, that's abuse. Your right, theres a difference between discipline and child abuse. If you look at the news at these different churches, the pasters, ministers and rabi's, that's all you do is see that in the news, molesting little boys. You never hear of that coming from a JW, if you do, tell me some facts and what Watchtower or Awake it came from.
