With the guilt trip of having illness as the main excused absence from the meetings, is it any wonder that JWs have a high percentage of people on antidepressants and hypochondriacs?

by cappytan in"there are only three reasons you should miss a meeting.
fever, fracture or funeral.
everything else is a sorry excuse.

People's Court - Fiancee has two daughter but not married
by ShirleyW inpart of the story on people's court this afternoon is that this women's mother wants her to baptize her two daughters in her monthers religion which is catholic, she offered that the father of both her daughters, aged 3 and 18 months is a jw and they both decided not to have their children baptized.. so, she uses the word fiancee, they have two kids and are not married, is there some new flip flop law about premarital sex now, or this guy put on the repentant act twice and was probably dfd a few times, i'm sure he's not the only one carrying on like that, but i found that part of this women's story interesting.
also glad it was mentioned on a show that draws a lot of viewers, it will probably raise some questions with nonbelievers who thought the dubs didn't carry on like that..

Shirley, Over the years I have known dozens of adults who were raised by a JW parent/parents who never got baptized or never attended once they were on their own. They are not part of any congregation but still identify themselves somewhat as JWs. (Kind of like nonpracticing Catholics)
Because they don't associate no JC action is taken. Even though they don't practice the religion they still hold at least some of the beliefs so that they would not want to assign another religion to their children especially as infants.

MNIONC, I did not mean to insult you. I sincerely want things to go well for your family. I misspoke when I said you did not tell us he was your stepson. I meant to say you didn't tell us until page 4 and on your 8th reply. I understand why you left it out but not having that fact affected our advice some.
You also said there is more to the story but you are afraid there might be too many identifiers and chose not to tell us. That's wise in your situation but there might be something relevant that we would need to know in order to make an informed reply. My point is it is hard to give sound advice without knowing all of the facts.
Hopefully, you will be able to use what works for you and disregard the rest.
