hubby told jw mother i'm pregnant ....
by dobbie inso i'm 11wks pregnant (hooray!
) and hubby has been undecided whether to even bother telling his jw lot about it as they are shunning me (d'ad) and have hardly anything to do with him or kiddies.. anyway he was away yesterday and she rang him just to find out train times (only reason she ever rings cos she wants him to fiddle her cheap tickets), he said 'by the way youre gonna have another grandchild soon' what did she say was she pleased did she say congratulations?hell no!
"oh right" then silence, then "well i won't be allowed to see it anyway will i seen as d's d'ad herself".

My mom took my son to KH after I told her not to
by unbeliever inreal shock i know that a jw would do that.
i found out today that my mom took my son to the kh behind my back when she was in town visiting.
he's just a little baby so he will have no memories of it.

If I were you I would tell him "If you want to give him to her on a meeting night then I ask that you go with her. I realize she probably just wants to show him off, but I don't think that place is a good environment for him."

You do have a point the kids will probably answer JW's but if it were me I would reply "See son, that is your opinion. Having your own opinion is a good thing. No one should ever critisize you for your opinion. They may debate it but they shouldn't critisize it. While I respect your mom's opinion that you need to go to 3 meetings a week and out in service to be in Gods favor, I don't share that opinion. No where in the bible does it say that we must attend three meetings a week. But if it is what your mother thinks is best for you I am ok with you going. But if you ever change your opinion, that is ok too. Please feel free to come to me and let me know and we will discuss your reasons for your change of opinion. My door is always open."
I was bullshitted too much in my life and I have an extremely low tolerance of it. I realize this is not how most people are and super straight forward will not work with all children. Perhaps some in between would be best. Each child is different. I think if you show him the multiple opinions and options from this board he will be able to find a happy medium for each child depending on their personality and age. I would definitely use the God reads hearts scripture though. I really think that one would set their mind at ease regarding Armageddon.

by coaster inis it wrong to even think about it?

Who have I murdered?? Noone yet. I think it is the whole fear of blood the JW's instilled in me. I see the stuff and get queasy.
On a serious note, think of all the good things you have in life. Food, clothing, a FREAKIN BEACH HOUSE!, an apparently caring wife and I am sure more. You really need a hobby where you can meet non JW people. Find an Ex JW meetup in your area or join some function at the YMCA or community college or some such thing. Surround yourself with people who love you for your personality and not what religion you choose.

I am not a parent but I have been around plenty of kids and I am a Big Sister via Big Brothers Big Sisters. Kids that age understand a lot more than most would give them credit for. I would sit them down with prints from several different religions saying they are the true one and that those who don't believe will go to hell or some other such thing. I would show him that all religions say similar things. Then I would ask both kids "Which one is the true religion if they all say the same thing?" Let the kids answer and then show them that just because someone says they are something with conviction doesn't make it true. Say" I am a Bird" with conviction. Then ask the kids if they believe he is a bird. They obviously don't and will probably laugh.
Then show them from the bible examples of how faithful ones had to make their own decisions. Tell them that all adults have to choose their religion for themselves. Daddy has chose something different but, that doesn't mean that he will die at Armageddon. Show them the scripture where God reads hearts and tell them "Daddy's heart is pure even if mommy and the Witnesses can't see that". Tell them that when they are older they too will be able to choose but that for right now they have to do what mom and dad say. But also leave them with the statement that YOU SHOULD NEVER BELIEVE WHAT SOMEONE TELLS YOU IS TRUTH!! You should ALWAYS look it up for yourself. This will also teach them good research skills for high school and college.

Rev Climax page 119
by Uncertain inthe box says that interpretations belong to god, uses genesis 40:8 and romans 15:4. must be so, the fds published it.
then why are they printing all these trees of paper providing interpretation?
i'm just sayin ... .

My Story "this is long, I'm sorry"

the issue that another member is having with childcare and yet another poster asking me why i'm still here after being out for 24 years has prompted me to type this up.. so here goes:.
