  I'm Shocked The Jehovah's Witnesses Even Allow Their Kids To Go To Mainstream Schools.

  by Jehovanomics in

  judging by the material that my kid brings home on a daily basis in copius amounts.

  everything about everything in elementary school goes against the doctrines of the jehovah's witnesses.

  how do jw's expect to make any money if all of their kids are defecting the jw's?

  Yes, I agree with Awake: Watcher. Funny how this week we had a fmily gathering and we were discussing this very subject. My children who went to school remarked how many Predators they were exposed to. However they managed to escape the worse. We had no knowledge until many years went by and Justice dealt with such individuals. There was bullying, drugs, sex abuse, firearms, and all of these I couldn't remember when I went thru the school system.

  If I was a parent today, Home Schooling would be a good alternative for a concerned parent.

  But, if chosen, you must be prepared to be disciplined, and organised

  Do you think that a Food Bank is possible? Jesus and the Apostles did have money set aside for the poor. How long do you think it will take the GB to figure that out? If, they did, how would it be implemented?

  I love my life but I hate the long Canadian Winters. If I had a choice, I would spend longer times down south. I would still be a witness either way. I think that, that Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder (SAD) affects me.

  The JW environment is kind of like the work/family atmosphere. You can't choose your workmates/brothers or sisters. So you pick who your friends are going to be.

  The JW life may not be for some that can't live up to the rules though.

  Yes, this is not unusual. In one year we lost 4 Elders. The individual reasons were kind of similar.

  1) Children that went to university

  2) Wife that never came to a meeting because of depression

  3) Wife divorced her Elder husband because she wanted a child, and he didn't.

  4) Service hours fell below 10 hrs a month for the husband and wife.

  Well, I'm glad we are getting to the source of the problem. I thought that maybe the removed Elders were wearing colorful socks with metero sexual suits.

  Maybe theirs wive's were wearing spandex, and refused to exercise in cotton. Maybe their daughters were dating non ministerial servants. Refusing to conform to those new directions would be indecisive.

  many jws enjoy turkey on thanksgiving day and are often discreet about their indulgences.

  why be two faced?

  why try to excuse it?.

  Well, it seems that many JW families have Turkey on Thanksgiving day. But, I;m Canadian, and if I have Turkey on the date that the US declares Thanksgiving, am I really celebrating it? One thing is for sure, the Bethelites are not having Turkey. It's really crazy how petty it's getting with a certain food that is ok to eat any of the 365 days a year.

  At This Point In Time Would You Ever Subject Yourself To A Judicial Committee?

  i certainly wouldn't.

  and if the elders wanted to have a meeting with me, i would respectfully decline.

  if the elders wanted to deal with you, would you talk with them?.

  I would go if they let me wear my coloured socks, spandex pants, and Metero sexual shirt.

  Is it possible to have a Dandy, Canadian? "Dandy" is a word that applies to the British. I remember when the Herman's Hermits had a hit single called Dandy.

  Remember when Garth Brooks used to take all the awards. Now a days he just can't seem to make comeback.
