Is a slow fade being selfish when you have kids?

by dissonance_resolved in

so i got some great advice to take things very slowly with the husband and kids in order to be able to fade and still maintain contact with my parents and siblings.

but today i got a call from my son's teacher that he was having a meltdown because he was worried about all his friends and teachers being destroyed at armageddon.... first i felt like such a schmuck for ever having allowed that thought to enter my son's head, then i thought, is it psychological torture for me not to immediately correct the situation?

i had a long talk with him about how god is perfectly just and full of love and he didn't have to worry about that at all, but it still seemed lukewarm.

Is the U.N. preparing to attack Religion

by confusedandalone in

about 5 minutes ago i get an article emailed to me from my mother telling me that i need to find a way to get back to jehovah and his saving arm... she read an article in a reputable newspaper that all the friends are using to show that its not just jehovahs witnesses who see religion about to get attacked by the u.n.. it concludes with a link to the article and her desire for me to please read it in light of my recent situation.. .

here is the article http://www.examiner.com/article/is-the-un-preparing-to-attack-religion.

Critique of Mar 2014 Awake on Creation by Alan Feuerbacher

by jwfacts in

alan feuerbacher has written a tremendous critique of the march 2014 awake!, which contains a grossly dishonest discussion on creation.

the pdf file can be downloaded from awake_march_2014_creation_critique.pdf.

it highlights watchtower use of poor and contradictory reasoning..

A suggestion for Fading Dubs. STOP SINGING!!!

by DATA-DOG in

whether or not you realize it [ many of you do ], words have power.

think of the power of the human voice.

think of a beautiful song, or a symphony.

Great points...and I did the exact opposite today...does that mean I suffer from some level of Stockholm syndrome? )

I told my teen son before the meeting, he better act like he is paying attention or should expect his dad to not allow him play in a tournament this afternoon (normally, he is slouched down falling asleep). During the songs he barely parts his lips, but today he was the loudest on our row. He had a goffy smile on his face, so I joined him. We both had a good laugh because he knew, I knew, what he was up to. I joined in because, I haven't - made a comment in over a year, been in field service in at least 6 months- gotten to a meeting on time in ages - so we are always having to sit in the 2md school...so the least I could do to keep up appearances for my husband is to sing. I honestly don't even remember what the closing song was about.

I'll have to try lip syncing.
