  1. I don't have any children that I homeschooled. But one of my cousins has been doing it for years. I'm not sure how many years, but it must be 15 years plus. As far as I recall, she didn't give a reason for doing things that way, but it may not have had anything to do with school violence. But she thought about it a lot before deciding that was what she wanted. Her husband makes enough money that she doesn't have to work, but I remember her saying she would somehow find the means to do it even if she had to work. She says the benefits stand head-and-shoulders about any negative points; she is always with her children, and so never misses them or worries about them where they are. She has plenty of time with them, and so never is kept in the dark about what they're up to. She knows their strong subjects and the ones she needs to work on more. Any problems that one of her children come across are brought to her attention immediately, giving her more time to work on a solution. Sometimes she invites others from school to come to their home to get to know her children, so they are never at a loss for friends. Her favourite time is when she invites them for worldly holidays (she's not in the truth), since the whole families are available then. I have never heard any negative comments from her about her life with her children.
  2. Didn't you know? JWTalk is social media! Is it destroying our neutrality?
  3. Is this the same story? It doesn't mention that he was one of Jehovah's Witnesses. In fact, some parts of the story don't even resemble Jehovah's Witnesses. ???
  4. The new original song in the broadcast is entitled Tell Them You Love Them. You will recognize some of the scenes in it; they're from recent Regional Conventions. Well, I converted the song into mp3 format for your dining, dancing, and roller skating pleasure! The song, along with its lyrics and the official song image, are wrapped up in a zip file archive in my Music Collection. Happy listening. If you don't have the link to my Music Collection, send me a PM.
  5. Now it's on jw.org. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/StudioFeatured/pub-jwb-130_1_VIDEO
  6. If you come across individuals like these, it may be best to use the "Report" feature. It's behind those three dots in the top right corner of each post. The moderators read your comments in there very soon after you post them, and may decide to act on them if those individuals warrant their attention. That would be a protection, not just yourself, but to everyone in the forums.
  7. Well, now it's August 29 here at least. So now I need to find a couple of hours when I can watch this! From that preview video, it looks very promising! I'm glad I could help out by sharing this with you.
  8. Hhmm. I signed up with no problems, so I don't know about any password problems. Anyway, it seems they have a different means of rectifying problems depending on how you created the subscription; ie: Apple TV app, Android app, website, etc. I haven't looked through all the options for each method. The first thing I would try would be, as it should always be: Check your junk mail folder! Something in their email could have directed it there by mistake. If there's still nothing, try this link to contact them.
  9. If you are interested, you may stream an amazing looking Biblical spectacle Daniel! It will be streaming free all Labour Day Weekend, August 29 to September 1, on Sight & Sound TV! To access it, you just need to register on the site. According to a friend of mine who has seen their shows, it's really well done for non-Witnesses. It's in the singing and speaking style. A preview is available here. It looks like it may be worth the while.
  10. Well, maybe. But I'm definitely older than you! And, yeah, I remember all those things you mention there, but... I didn't even know cars don't have CD players anymore! (I don't have a car anymore...)
  11. You've got to be kidding me! Do you mean to say you remember when CDs first came out? Well, I was around on this planet when we first heard of CDs, and I think I may still have one of the first ones ever made. But you...? I just don't remember you looking that old. (I'm not going to ask how old...)
  12. Not likely. As much as I love an Australian accent, we've already got Brother Jackson doing the voice of Moses in the audio Bible. I don't think we'll get even more Australian voices... for Jesus, Mary, Elizabeth, John the Baptist, all the apostles... and virtually everyone else in the Gospel accounts!
  13. Individual videos from the August broadcast are now in the server, and should be posted on jw.org shortly. You won't find the new song in the server, but it is on jw.org already.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    I was visited during a tract campaign in 1974. I spent the next 11 years studying on and off, with three different brothers, before finally accepting the fact that this is where I belong.

  • My favorite quotes
    If you can count the number of times you have prayed today, then you haven't prayed enough.

    The reasons some brothers and sisters give for not being at the meetings are the very reasons they should be there.

    We need to be at the meetings to "incite to love and fine works."—Hebrews 10:24. But how can you incite if you're not in sight?

    When one flees temptation, one should never leave a forwarding address.

    Never forget what Jehovah remembers, and never remember what Jehovah forgets.

    Life can be understood by looking back but it must be lived by looking ahead.

    If Satan keeps reminding you of your past, just remind him of his future.

    Man says, "Show me and I will trust you." Jehovah says, "TRUST ME AND I WILL SHOW YOU."

    Let the Mind of your Master be the Master of your mind.
