I really hope that he is able to do so. He was asking me if it is ok, which it is. It is so wonderful not being involved with a group that tells you not to do such a thing. His dad was on a basket ball team and wrestling in high school, so he's all for it also.
I love being free.
Good for him and good for you, i hope he goes for it too.
Right on!
I hope he makes the team.
Doesn't it warm your heart to see your children happy and being "normal"?

Well done and i hope he makes the team! I could never understand why jw parents couldn't let their kids do these activites, or exchanges, school trips etc. I did them all the time and i didn't take up drinking smoking drugs or whatever because of it!
You must be so relieved to be able to let your your son have a normal happy life, i know i am with mine.
Excellent! Great idea, good luck!
That's great! I believe that activities like these make for a more well-rounded child. That's why i'm so happy for JW parents that disregard the crap that the WTS tells them and allow their kids to take part in other activities.

I'm so excited for you and your son! I grew up as a J.W. and was never able to do any kind of extracurricular activities. Thankfully I got out before I had kids of my own. I'm so happy that my kids are able to freely participate in activities they are interested in, without any restrictions or judgment imposed on them. Two of my kids do basketball now - they love it. I hope it works out for your son to get on the team.
