i just heard that my nephew will not be attending high school, instead will be doing home schooling, why do jws pressure their kids into home schooling?

i really do love my nephew he is a bright kid, i think he would do really great in high school, and hopefully attend college, but i was informed yesterday that he will not be going to high school because its not safe, and besides he made the decision not to go.

i am sorry but he should go, i know what they got planned for him, home school and full time service, this is the time of his life where he needs to concentrate on his education, he will end up just like his mother, who also never attended high school, seems that when your totally lost into the society, covering all aspects of your life, that leaves you socially inept, depressed, and have a distorted view of the world.

I hit enter before I could finish what I was saying.... I have nothing against home schooling, as long as the children are allowed to be involved in activities where they can interact eith other children of different religion, cultures and interests. I know that the JW's discourage any sort of association with people other the JW's, and homechooling is thier way to to keep thier kids sheltered from real life.

This reminds me. I just interviewed a young JW for a project engineering position at my place of employment. He was 19 years old and just gradusted from a tech college/

I suspected he was a JW because

#!1 He was too far out of touch with reality. He could not answer a single question I asked him about dealing with short deadlines, difficult customers, working with people with he didn't neccessarily like... etc. It was like he hadn't set foot out of his parents house in 18 years!

#2 I asked him about his subjects of interest in high school and again not answering my question he said that he was "home schooled" and really could not pick out classes he took. That his parents had chosen most of them for him.

I then asked him how he felt about working 4-5 hours of over time a week if required. His reply.... "I am a Jehovah's Witness and I will not work O.T. Tuesday, Thursday evening or saturday & sunday. But I can work holidays except for "my holdiday" which is the memorial of Jesus Christ's Death. Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah... then he proceeds to recite a bunch of mumbo jumbo he's been trained to say.

He also informed informed that this was first job interview. Ever. I didn't hire hime of course. He wouldn't be able to hande my work wnviroment at all.

i've seen soooo many witnesses taking meds or alcohol because of unhappiness and depression.

i know of one woman who regularly gos to her shrink and is the most depressed person that i know of.

personally, i believe it's because a jw can never do enough to satisfy god or the elders....what do you think?

Depressed + Suicidal + suffered from anxiety attacks.

well, i been "living in sin" for about 5 days now and aside from an elder asking if i was gonna still do a talk i was scheduled for this past monday (i told him no of course.

he knows i moved out and only asked about my literature) i finally worked the nerve to download the application for this season's america's next top model.

i've been modeling for some time now and i figured what the hell...i have nothing to lose but $3.95 in postage.

Gap commercial would be cool. Catalog modeling wouldn't be so bad and I'm sure it pays the bills. It would kind of suck to be a model for a Sears catalog though.=)

Jayla wasn't technically a JW, never babtized. Wasn't she also on MTV's Road Rules? Your right Stilla, 22 is a bit late to try to jump start you modeling career, so ANTM could be a huge help to you at this point. You've only got 2 more year before your considered 'too old'. After you reach the big 25 and haven't made it as a supermodel, your stuck with catalog modeling. Wish I would have gotton off my lazy unmotivated butt when I was young and got into modeling while I could. Now I'm waaaaay to old! You should post your pic here, I'm curious to see what you look like. =)5'-8" isn't too short, look at Kate moss. She's only 5'6".

by PopeOfEruke in

hey i was on holiday last week and we went to a sea-side night market and there was a food stand called "roadkill restaurant".

the motto was "you kill it, we grill it".

charming place.. they had crocodile, buffalo, camel, and kangaroo and emu kebabs.

Sir Pope,

This is the kind of Buffalo that is raised here. Also called Bison.
