a troll?....if you say so.......a twat?.....sometimes..........please feed me i'm hungry.. lol.
come on forum brothers and sisters this site goes round and around in circles, there's only so many times you can talk about "your worst meeting" "kingdom melodies i hate that i can replace rude words too" "bill bowen is worse/better than ray" " the circa 1949 wt says...." "i'm outta the borg(tm)" "your favourite witness?.....i hated them all" and my favourite..."hello newbie, you're amongst friends here, we look forward to your posts", but don't you dare, ever ever step out of line and not tow the ex line here, after all we're the enlightened ones now and we'll trash you without any understanding/concern"........this site has become a cult in itself, agreement at the kh is called brainwashing, agreement here is applauded, unless you disagree (no dissention in the ranks allowed) and on and on...........quit the judgement of others you say you struggled hard to escape from and hated, we're all humans looking at the end of the day for answers.

when i was a jw kid, one of the ways we amused ourselves at assemblies, conventions, and the local kh was to play "spot the celebrity".
fortunately for us, the joyful throngs of jehovah's people were brimming with celebrity look-alikes, so we were able to enjoy many upbuilding sessions of "spot the celebrity".
here are some celebrities i have spotted on jwd.

can you see this pic?
if so, would you date this man?
Well yeah, but I have questions-
What is up with his eyes? Is he possessed by demons? Not saying that will change my mind - I've dated demonized men before, but it is good info to have.
And who is the woman in the pic? Did he cut her out of the pic or did you windy? This is needed info too cuz there is always the potential for more demons there.
Just the facts maam.
Glad you were able to open this up cuz up till now the old rule applied: "never date an X"

funny story:.
my brother was living with me several years back.
he had changed the oil in his car and instead of disposing of the used oil, he set the pan of it atop the freezer in the garage.
Funny story:
My brother was living with me several years back. He had changed the oil in his car and instead of disposing of the used oil, he set the pan of it atop the freezer in the garage. We were having party one day and he opened the freezer door and yep- the pan came down on his head. Ruined a new pair of jeans, tennies socks etc. Plus, quite the mess. He is an extremely intelligent person and I told him- hey that was really stupid- you don't usually do stupid things like that and now look at what it's going to cost to replace those items ruined. I came up with "Stupid Insurance" I told him that if he had coverage, he could file a claim for being stupid and they'd pay for the replacement of his clothing. We also decided that rates and deductibles would be determined by how stupid that person might be. People who aren't normally stupid but have the occasional blunder would have lower rates and deductibles. We decided that the only way to determine this would be to query friends and relatives about the level of stupidity of each applicant. Here is the Stupid Insurance Reference Form:

1. Do you know this person?______yes______no. If you answered no to this question, do not

i have a son who is in th 4th grade.
he is a "bigger boy"......his father is 6'2" and i am 5'10".
james is very tall for his age and is also slightly overweight.
Scooter:
Are there any pictures available of what James' Dad looked like from 4th grade to when his body changed? It might help James to see that it really will change. Yes, he'll still have to wait but it may help him to actually see that things for him will change.
And yes, I would suggest talking to the folks at the school. This kind of thing can escalate into something pretty ugly and it may be avoidable. Perhaps these other kids' parents aren't aware that their children are treating another child this way. I can tell you that if the school ever had to call me and tell me that my daughter was treating others this way, there would be consequences for her. If the parents aren't made aware, they cannot deal with the behavior of their children.
I had a situation when my daughter was in 1st grade and walking the few blocks to her day care home after school every day. She came home with a big scratch on her on her cheekbone. I asked her what happened and she told me that this "bigger kid" threw an ice ball at her. An inch difference and her eye would have been damaged. This wasn't a snowball fight. So I marched over to the kid's house and the Dad came to the door and the kid confessed. After some calm discussion with the boy about how easily he could have severly harmed my daughter, the Dad assured me that he would take care of the situation and by the look on the kid's face, I could tell he would. And he did.
