  Heaven,

  My oldest son was the same way. He had a really hard time sitting still and concentrating for very long and would be pretty naughty at times. Once he started school it got worse as I wasn't wanting to medicate him at all. The school though did a test on him with watching him play for periods of time and giving him certain tasks to see how he reacted. They decided he had a little bit of ADHD and recommended Ritalin. He takes 3 5mg tablets a day during the school week that is. His grades in school went up and he hasn't been a behavior problem since. I don't give him the stuff on weekends and this summer the doctor is wanting to take him off and see how he reacts as a lot of times they can safely go away from the meds and be just fine.

  If any advice I could give would be don't be afraid of medication but make sure they don't over medicate as that would be no good at all. Plus if he does start taking something and it works you might try giving him less on weekends etc..

  Don't blame the witnesses ,its just our brains

  by sleepy in

  don't blame the witnesses ,its just our brains that make us believe cookoo things.. yes thats right , its our brains that are faulty.. look if you feed the wrong info into a computer it won't do what you want it to.. if you feed the wrong info into a human , then just like a computer it can only follow its commands.. so the brain is limited in how it thinks by what it knows.. well actually its more complicated than this.. but i think, who wants to be a slave to a false organisation?.

  no one.people are just miss informed.. so when someone shuns us or does something else silly i think its just like my computer crashing, their brains are just having a crisis.. yes i do get angry , but humans are slaves to their minds which are slaves to the information it takes in.

  On "The Generation" from 20-year-old ...

  i recently got hold of the book the catholic answer to the jehovah's witnesses (louise d'angelo, maryheart catholic information center, meriden, connecticut, 1981).

  it's a pretty critique of the jws in many parts, especially on the topic of "jws and false predictions".

  with regard to "the generation of 1914" it said:.

  Very interesting. I was out when they changed the 1914 doctrine and didn't find out about it until 3 years after the fact but I was amazed at how they tried to sweep it under the rug when from my memory that was the single biggest thing we pointed to when I was still in.

  If you got caught by the elders...............

  by LyinEyes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you got caught by the elders, say smoking, and they d/f you would you tell them about being "apostate"?

  i mean honestly, if they want to "take me down", i would rather go out,with them knowing i think it is all bull.

  did any of you that are d/f for some petty wtbs interpretation of sin, decide to tell them about what you beleive since learning the real truth about the wtbs?

  Back when I was caught and reprimanded the only thing that kept me from telling them to go to hell was that I didn't want to hurt my mother. Course I just delayed what was inevitable as it turned out.

  I impacted one in the nose once. Sometimes I impact them in the brain, but they usually don't notice.

  Now that sounds like the best way to impact most of them as far as I'm concerned.

  So I guess it's finally my turn <grin>

  well i had a visit today from an elder (related through marriage) about my non-meeting attendance.

  he let me know that the circuit overseer is due in for a visit in 2 weeks and the elders in my congregation felt that it would be good for them to pay me a visit.

  i have already declined other such offers.. he asked me why i was not attending the meetings (didn't reply to that) and that if i had a problem that i could talk about it.
