  The Watchtower In Crisis: Why They Can't Raise Good Kids

  by metatron in

  1. jw

  if there any single factor that i would rate as the highest priority in raising a child, it is this:.

  teach them to be caring, loving adults who care about other people.. we've already noted, ad nauseum, how witnesses are largely impelled by motives other than love in their "ministry".

  "pioneer stroll" and fantasies about who's-house-you-want-after-armageddon, there is a further problem in raising witness kids.

  Do you feel you will always be "different" from the "world" ?

  by LyinEyes in

  1. jw

  all of my life,, except for the last two years i was a jw, and i wonder if i will always feel like i am still so very different from the rest of most everyone i know.

  i guess i still feel like i am on the "outside" looking in, in on the world of the people i was so alienated from for so long.. i celebrate birthdays, all the holidays, i stand for the national anthemn, but still it does not quiet feel second nature to me .

  as i stand watching my son play high school football, my mind is always wandering on the marvel of what i am seeing.

  Theocratic Ministry School

  the tms had always somewhat intrigued me when i was a jw.

  it was actually a fascinating part of the thursday night meeting.

  you never graduated, your grades didn't range from a to f, and it was mandatory to applaud after a new "classmate" gives their first talk.

  within a few weeks i leased a condo on the banks of the willamette river just out side the city of portland.

  as she got into her car she looked at me funny again, laughed and just shook her head.. .

  i told him that if i said i was sorry, i knew that is what they wanted to hear but it was not the truth.

  i am a really big fan of history and the titanic has always been of great interest to me.

  i was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and heard about the exhibit here in raleigh.

  i asked my son, manuel, if he would like to go and he said sure.

  i just rented "gangs of new york".

  i watched it last night and my daughter watched it this morning, we agree it was the worst thing we have endured in the last two years.
