  if you do support sanctuary cities, would you be happy to live in one?.

  I luve in a metropolitan area, one city is pro sanctuary but i cannot vote there. My suburb is sanctuary in practice, but not officially

  My opinion is police enforce local laws, mugging, rape, .murder and all , leave fedwral law to the feds. Things like sneaking aliens out of jail to avoid ICE is wrong.

  Individually i have liked the Mexican s i know, problem is mot the the world can move to US, or europe or down under. There are also non assimilated ghettos now

  Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development - did you miss a stage?

  by Butterfly607 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  erikson's stages of psychosocial development include this fifth stage:.

  "the fifth stage of erik erikson's theory of psychosocial development is identity vs. role confusion, and it occurs during adolescence, from about 12-18 years.

  during this stage, adolescents search for a sense of self and personal identity, through an intense exploration of personal values, beliefs, and goals.".

  our goal is to help our bible student to grow spiritually.. .

  as his love for jehovah grows, however, he will likely begin to think about how he can help others, including those who are already part of the congregation.

  They never ever encourage real charity. Things like helping elderly, down on luck, ill. The closest they come is coercing people to spend money they may not have to feed the speaker

  Interesting dialogue. Keep this post alive until the final

  Pretty wierd hearing them talking about saving souls. Committees are interested in keeping up appearances, the people be damned

  elders wont pray for someone?

  by AuntBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a former member said that elders told a relative of his after she was dfed that they would not be praying for her.

  is that some kind of policy, or were they just doing their own thing in that instance?

  Noone can say when sin is unforgivable according to WT but they imply it

  DF is so muddled anyway

  Sisters

  by truthlover123 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during the first talk tonight, the brother giving the talk indicated that now comments were to include sisters!

  previously mostly only brothers were mentioned in most prayers or comments - has anyone else heard this tonight?.

  the meeting seemed to be positioned directly to and about sisters.

  A friend's mother made efforts to involve me in little things. Treats, decorating tree, presents. The things that nake a warm family atmosphere. Same for Halloween, new years ( drunk), b days all that. My parents were not severe by any means, mom i think was pimo and dad ran afoul the good old boys club. I remember going to b day parties. A well off cousin owned the rental k hall space in a little town and had new years parties there!

  Look at Thanksgiving for the best compromises, about the only time for a family reunion

  Normal Family Relations Continue...My Arse....

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i think that the big issue here is the double standard based on the location of the family members - if they are 'immediate' meaning they live at home in the same dwelling under the same roof then it's ok but if you are like me and living on your own, your family will absolutely avoid contact with you as that is the real jw policy..the old canada court trial and recent swedish news are totally out of context and the jw attorneys are complete tools and filthy liars....

  Dont forget that if yiu can pawn a 15 yo off on an uncle so much the better. My story was that. It meant the last influence I had ( i still pretty much believed and wanted my son back in) was gone. But everyone.congratulated me on getting rid of him. Fooled them, we still see him and minister to his mental quirks

  just heard from a friend who keeps in touch with the jw's.

  a person who has been studying found out some things on line about the witnesses and decided to not get baptized and stopped attending the meetings.

  she lives with a witness.

  Maybe " marked" as a bad associate. They never announce disfellowshipped as such. She may confuse the terms. I know of a woman who came " in" trying for a certain man, ten announced as no longer being part of the congregation, but not by name. those os not in the know had some gossipping to do to figure it out
