Here there are no restrictions on adult drivers.

It's completely normal for kids to drive themselves to prom if they don't get a limo. I've never heard of anyone taking a bus to prom.

5th Year Senior/Super Senior request at PS
hippiemamato3 replied to TwoEdgedSword's topic in The Chat Board
I've never heard of anyone doing that. A 5th/6th/7th year in high school is usually only for children/young adults with severe delays. -
He could take 20 mg of Pepcid on top of the Omeprazole.

Help! DH's health has declined after surgery. Update 11/13

My first thought was C.Diff. He needs to see a GI doctor. -
Maybe he is just very, very faithful and knows that God will provide?
-
I would assume his car is now her car...and they will figure out how to share. Nothing we've read so far indicates he is controlling or abusive to her.
-
That might actually be a good thing. They can focus on their relationship, and being grown ups, and not be so dependent on her parents.
-
Did they get an apartment? That's great!
-
None of the choices - I usually won't try it.

Your experience, of course, isn't everyone. I'm glad you're doing better now. I think it could also be argued that if you didn't want to die, perhaps it wasn't really a suicide attempt.
-
Suicide attempts are made out of desperation; they aren't done as a tantrum, unless there are underlying mental health issues. Suicide threats are a different ballgame, and I didn't say anything about those at all.
-
This was a pretty rude response. Suicide attempts are not the same as self harm, even unintentionally 'serious' self harm. I'm going to back out of this thread now, but I can tell you that there is nothing simplistic about my knowledge of teen suicide, or self harm.
-
This. Suicide attempts are a sign of desperation. DESPAIR. Children are not going to make suicide attempts as a tantrum - they are going to do it because they are so desperately sad they want to die.
-
It does mean to feel the spirit of others (mood, etc) but I don't think it has anything to do with the dead. It's a terrible burden in a lot of ways.

I'm not big on infantilizing adults really, so I don't have an issue with young marriage. Lots of people start out with nothing, and build great things together.
-
Interesting - Apostle Paul is quoted as using that terminology in the JW bible, but not really anywhere else. Since people routinely married as very young teens during biblical times, I don't think this is referring to people who are (a few short months from) legal adults.

Does the girl have a job?
-
That makes me feel really sad. The couple definitely will need support. I can't imagine that no one in this couples' church feels compelled to show them church family love and be there for them?!
-
Charges of hypocrisy? I haven't ever heard of such a thing...I feel like I live in a very different world!
-
That would require public shaming? Nope.
-
I'm honestly trying to understand. If someone is having premarital sex (which shouldn't really be public knowledge anyway IMO) Scarlett said they would be prevent from practicing traditional JW rituals. I want to understand what other things would have the same consequence; it seems odd that that would be the one major thing that would cause public shame.
-
Can you elaborate on what other sins would be considered "living a double life" or would get you removed from the list of people who can knock on doors?
-
It just seems that you put a lot of emphasis on premarital sex as being a major sin, but less for other things. Maybe that's just how JW religion is; there are a lot of things a lot worse.
