I'm worried about our 8-year-old -- anybody got any ideas?

our 8-year-old son, jackson, is exhibiting the following symptoms:.

* disorganized (unfortunately, this has kind of been since birth but more pronounced now).

* hard to concentrate.

It sounds like he has executive function disorders.

If he has good grades the school will not test him but a private child psycologist might be able to give a lot of information.

You have a p.m.

by badboy in

i have forgotten its title.. something `like how near is the end',something similiar.. showed a man reading something on its cover(if i remember correctly).

usual spiel,isn't the world in a terrible state etc etc with pestilence,disease.

from what i remember,explained that babylon the great ownes shares,has lots of money, and is in league with business etc etc.

The brochure is entitled: "Stay on the Watch!"

This is a tactic to keep the masses of jw thinking the end is around the corner. Also this is the brochure that makes one vague mention to 1914.

The campaign is supposed to last one month BUT you just can't leave this precious piece to just anybody. It has to be left only to ones that show real interest.

The C.O. visiting local congragation said this brochure is more the for jw who are sitting on the fence.

Two faced lying hypocrites

by Uzzah in

i just came across this link advertising an award dinner by the canadian bar association.. http://www.cba.org/cba/news/2004_releases/2004-08-17_probono.asp.

it announces shane brady of georgetown (bethelite) as the winner of the probone award for 2004. i'll let the announcement speak for itself.. .

what burns me is that the brady is on a vow of poverty, and gets his marching orders from bethel.

Hard to get over: No New System

by confusedjw in

i have to tell you something.. i really find it hard getting over the idea of no new system and all that it meant to me.

to be with my children and their children forever in perfect health.. too many days it just leaves me empty.

i just wish i could shake it and enjoy life, but the idea that we just live for 70 years and die kills me.

I also grapple with this from time to time. I try not to think about it.

The process of recovery

by onacruse in

i checked the "best of..." forum, and didn't see this as a specific link.

there's a list of the typical psychological steps that a person usually goes through in the course of recovering from a traumatic experience: something like- shock, denial, anger, compromise, resolution.

i'd like to see that info again, because, even though i know that i've gone very far into the 'resolution' stage of my life, nevertheless, i find, at times, i revert to the 'anger' stage, and wonder to myself: "where in the heck did that come from?".

revert to the 'anger' stage

Glad I am not the only one that revisits that stage from time to time.

Draw Close Jeh, Since the elder is out I have to conduct tonight, any sugg?

since the elder is out i have to conduct tonight!.

any suggestion on subtle little comments i can get away with when we study page 143 thru 147?

wannaexit

All dacheech is doing is having a laugh at other peoples expense

I don't think so.

Once you see the light you want others to see it too.

My husband has to also conduct the book study at times. And he always tries to include something that might make someone think for themselves.

He does this because some in that bookstudy are dear friends and our hearts go out to them because they are mentally, emotionally and phisically enslaved to this organization. I think dacheech is trying to do the same.
