Fb status of a Young JW Mom. Sooo Sick!

by 3dogs1husband in

can't believe that we made it through the whole assembly, **** wasn't feeling good last night, has a cold, was pretty cranky, then he seemed fine and minutes later im making a bowl with my hands for him to throw up in while we are sitting (the joys of parenthood) then into a plastic bag, then very quickly ran to the bathroom for even more throwing up, but suprisingly we stayed for the rest of the day.

trying to think of a response.

i am not "out" on fb soooo sick from this i wanna throw up myself...poor children!.

I sat through a convention morning session with a 14 yo coughing vigorously behind me not using a hanky or covering his mouth while his parents sat so spiritual paying no attention.

I was off work for days after wards.

also in my earliest days in the 'truth' i saw a tired little boy about 2-3 crying on the ground as he has messed himself the mother in her finest dress gave him a nudge with her foot and told him' come on get up'.

'whats wrong' i said.

'Hes got diarohea.' My heart bleeds for that little boy and my own absence of spine all those years ago in not paying out on this ...'mother'. Such love shown and where did she learn such an attitude?

Where is he today.? That country convention was held in show ground sheds with hopelessly inadeqaute toileting and washing facilities.

is this a preview of future tactics of the WT to counter the impending child molestation lawsuits

by never a jw in

.

"what if a powerful government were to hatch a plot to exterminate jehovahs witnesses as an organization.

many men in modern times have attempted to do that and failed" watchtower study edition july 15, 2012 page 23. call me cynical, but the timing, the reference to a powerful government (u.s.), and the use of the words "hatch a plot to exterminate" is right up the alley of the watchtower "the world is against us" tactics..

regards persecution.

The wts could have approached the US Govt and arranged the evacuation of JW out of Nazi held lands through a neutral country, but didnt.

the level of disapointment

by lastchance in

jw
friends

as i look at the members in my area, i see alot of fustration and disapointment.

those who still beleive 100%, are sending there kids off to college( to live on campus),there is no rush to send there kids off to bethel and others are just going through the motions just so they wont be questioned.

in the last 7 years i've been in 2 congregations, in 2 different states, and the level of tension and in fighting in both, has made the isreali/ palistani conflict look mild.

zeb

you are priviliged indeed.

What are your studying ?

After Armageddon Diary (Many JWs just haven't "thought it through"!!)

by Anne Marie 1925 in

i guess were still in a state of shock.

it seems that there are a lot of us that feel that we had a lot more freedom before armageddon.

world society is not my idea of a paradise at all, and i really think i would rather be dead then to live like this.

zeb

Phew! but so true.

The witness stood at the pearly gates

his face was worn and old

He meekly asked the man of fate

admission to the fold.

"What have you done?" the angel said, "To gain admission here?"

"Defended children, witnessed, for many a tired year"

With a flash of light the gates swung wide as Peter touched the bell.

"Come in my son and take your rest, you've seen enough of hell."
