The only articulate, socially adjusted adolescent in my congregation came into the Organization at the age of 17. The homeschooled children are awkward around strangers and barely literate. They only excell in video games.

The popularity fad of home-schooling!
by stuckinarut2 ini know this has been discussed over the years on this forum, but i just had to post this again!.
it seems that the popular fad amongst the "spiritual" ones in the local circuits is to home school their children instead of sending them to school.. now to clarify, we are in a very nice area of semi rural australia .
one with very community minded, and strong family values.

Is your "diet" a balanced one??
by stuckinarut2 inan illustration came to mind.
we know that the society often talks about the need to "eat healthy spiritual food".
but imagine that we are speaking of literal food.

Ray Franz gave an example (I'm paraphrasing this) of a mother feeding her children tainted food, then when they get ill, saying they shouldn't have eaten it. I think that's the gist of it. Does anyone have the exact quote? -

A Perfect Life Isn't Worth Living?

what do they all have in common?
the answer is they revolve around some type of problem or conflict.

You need a little adversity to enhance the good things in your life. Too much sweetness eventually becomes cloying.

Australia TV's Bride & Prejudice’s Forbidden Wedding Dilemma
by darkspilver init's a world away from the dating shows and cooking competitions commercial tv networks are stacking their schedules with right now.
but on channel 7's bride & prejudice, we meet couples whose families are dead set against their relationships.
and it's a heartbreaker..... it was at love at first sight for sydney couple chris, 39, and grant, 32. grant's parents have always accepted his homosexuality; however chris's parents have struggled and remain uncomfortable with his way of life.

Love and commitment are the two foundations of a happy marriage. If two people share those values, what difference does sex have to do with it? It's sad that families can't accept that because of prejudice.
Besides, I think Grant and Chris are a fabulous looking couple!

What if the patient dies due to blood contamination from the dropped suction tube. Would the family bring a malpractice suit for negligence?

Why do trolls do what they do?
by Londo111 ini truly don't understand the mindset of a troll.
i know it's been explained, but i still don't get it.
it is hard to distinguish between a troll and a jw apologist at times because the reactions are very similar.

It allows them to say things that they think, without the danger of being ostracized for having socially unacceptable views.

DJS, I agree. If only legal citizens were hired for all service jobs, agricultural work, childcare, and heavy labor at reasonable wages with adequate healthcare, we'd be on the way to full employment and prosperity.
Let's target the true culprits. Those who make obscene profits by exploiting people who dare not fight for basic human rights because they are terrified of losing a job. And those who buy the cheaper products that result from from such a system. Those who condone and benefit from that arrangement have no right to complain.

The greatest lie of all is that Witnesses are the "happiest" people on Earth, living in a spiritual paradise. If this is a foretaste of things to come, I want nothing to do with it!

All these clips are as funny today as they were so long ago. Even as a kid, I loved that show! It's a type of humor that anyone could understand. From outright slapstick, to subtle gibes at the pretensions we all exhibit at times, she was a true trailblazer in presenting women's issues in a non threatening, but thought provoking way.
