  I say next time they really want you to buy them something, inform them that that particular item is not included in the Canadian Charter of Rights that says (in part)

  "....Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: ... (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression..."

  and that you're expressing your freedom of belief that that particular item is not necessary. Your teenager will pretty soon get the picture.

  I think this is a great idea and also what Finally- Free said.

  Scully, one thing I always did with my daughter that worked well was to have them imagine that THEY had a little girl......then ask them if they would like their little girl to do as they are acting. Ask her if she would like it if she had a little girl and the little girl talked to her that way if she thinks it would bother her and if she thinks other people would like to hear her little one talk that way. Before you do.....tell her you want her to answer as honest as she can and to REALLY imagine she has a little girl.

  This sounds a little childish especially if your child is older......but i'm telling you it works excellent. Kids will change their tune if you change the roles from THEM to THEIR own child.

  If we can take the "moral ' or "right wrong," out of it, and help them see that it is to their advantage you have a chance.

  I think of what a high level of adultery , fornication, drug use, etc, sexual crimes (rape, incest)the wts has. anytime something is illegal, immoral or fattening, weak willed and immature people, or want to do it

  When you remove the stigma, it's not a crime or immoral ,just not loving. The entire law of Christ is built on this, having love for one another. Even without the bible, humans know it's wrong to do certain things, some things are just not loving or for the greater good..

  If you have love for others you won't ' foul up the air with profanity. you will respect yourself / others enough to watch what you say.

  forget freedom of speech ,it is about caring about yourself and others.

  You should have said to him the next time you two had sex, maybe he wouldn't have minded so much then.

  LOL, Frankie. Knowing him, if I dared say such a thing at the moment, he'd run to the bathroom and wash his ears out with soap.

  ou will never let us believe that you're not the JW element in the household, or it means you have total command of the JW spirit and are immersed in it through fine osmosis with hubby to the point that you aren't even aware of it : your list of rules seems to come straight from a WT or AW article. So, you find JW culture is not so bad after all !
