I asked what do they mean in the publications when they say 'not to marry in the bloom of youth'? He said not to when you are young and silly. So i asked, why then will they baptize you, the most important thing you will ever do, while you are young and silly? You cannot just change your mind. We talked about the affects of disfellowshipping or changing his mind on family and future wife and in law families etc.
That's awesome discussioning you did there. Not just the part I quoted, but all of it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing aussie. I asked my kids too about the convention and it went over their heads about the generation. I wish I could talk to mine like you have to your son. They went to the sydney, australia convention. Please keep us updated on any more discussion. I would like to use it with my kids (they are already baptised).

Hi Etna
sucks to not be able to talk to your kids.
below is a link to some threads i started if any are interested, i have been trying to chronical the journey with my kids in case it helps others in the same sort of situation.
Before i found this forum i wanted my kids to be JWs. Of course it's different now, and i have slowly been working on making sure they really THINK...
