lets their kids watch all of the holiday programs on tv.says nothing when their daughters make it on the spirit squads in high school.
waits for the prom pictures.
asks child which college are they going to and make suggestions.
permits children to have "worldly" friends who actually come over and visit.

waits for the prom pictures.
That is so poignant, mrsjones. It seems to me a liberal JW has a many more opportunities to love, spontaneously.

... let's their kids participate in extracurricular activities at school, including community service

... doesn't attend meetings while away on vacation
... has an interest in election returns, even if not a voter

JGNAT says: ...sincerely believe that they leave cleaner lives than their non-JW neighbours.
Oh, no. My neighbors are much better at keeping their houses and yards clean.

A Liberal JW
Goes hunting during the CO's visit
Goes out to listen to the game on the van radio during the lunch break (and during the song/announcement break)
Stays in hotels not on the "approved" list
Brings plenty of booze and stocks their own bar in their hotel room having many friends over every evening after the convention hiring some 13 year old "sister" to watch their children
Watches R-rated movies being careful to FF during the "bad" parts
