LDH beat me to it.
But I understand entirely where you are coming from. I am in awe every day of my four-year-old in similar ways. I vowed some time ago to do everything within my power to keep his mind free from the sort of control I was raised in. The sort of freedom he has, I never knew. And it amazes me.
Daystar,
*totally understand* and nice to meet you.
I have not often realized that what I'm really rejoicing in is simple normalcy.
Can I get an "Amen!" Isn't it wonderful. I'm going to the local High School Football game tonight. To watch my daughter play with the marching band.
I never went to one game during all four years I was in high school.
ah thats awesome! Another one saved from the jaws of the Borg!
Arent you glad you dont have to get him silly little "man suits" so he doesnt get the comments when hes 8 and on the ministry!
One of my mother's proudest moments came when I was 5 or so, she's paying for groceries, and the clerk asks me if I attend school, and I proudly say "I go to the THEOCRATIC school!"
It's a little, neat, harmless memory, and JWism was my heritage. I wouldn't recommend it for children now, but I think at that tender age it was a nice thing to take pride in.
