  we have just gotten home from sunday-meeting, when my mom ask me if i believe in god and so on.

  so i tell her, cause you adviced me to be honest.

  and despite all my fears, she took it very calm, and then told my dad whos also taking it calm, and it doesnt seem like theyre hating me now or want to throw me out of the house.. the thing is.

  lisaBObeesa ... thanks for presenting all that information. It all sounds good on paper. Terrific if you can carry it out. In the end though, each of us is responsible for our parenting skills and hope for the best in the end.

  I think love is the main ingredient ... and kids know if they are loved. Even if a parent does all the wrong things ... kids know if they are loved. I happen to think Filip's father loves him. He may have anger control issues ... but who of you don't have any flaws?

  Big Tex ... let's deal with my topic-related issue first. Maybe you'd like to start a new thread ;)

  AlanF ... if you sincerely felt you were doing all you could to raise your child the best way you know how ... and you find out he/she is on the net asking total strangers for their opinions ... would that not alarm you? In this case, Filip, a child is here looking for answers. Your natural response is ... what do you expect, raising him in a minddeadening cult.

  Before you take this tack, put yourself in Filip's fathers shoes. Without even knowing what he's up to, your child has actually brought strangers into your house. Do you condone this? Put the father's parenting skills aside too ... he has the right not to have his house invaded to satisfy a 15 year olds curiosity.

  AlanF ... my churlish mindset tells me you are a nasty, unhappy individual ... oops ... we are sidetracking here ...

  Just a quick comment though ... there are more than one family around like the one you have described who never even heard of JWs. Read any newspapers lately or watch the news ... nothing new here.

  Incense ... don't kid yourself. Some of the finest families have turned out the worst. No guarantees in this department ... all we can do is hope for the best.

  sf ... you make some terrific points! Well said!

  Nice to meet you ... Mod.

  So you think the subject of phone-sex is appropriate for a 15 year old? Maybe you are right ... times are changing and my mind is still set in biblical times. Do you think (if there was such a thing at the time) that Jesus would condone it? (even for adults).

  I Cor. 13 is a personal favorite of mine too. I see it as a loving thing to try and get Filip out of here.

  Filip ... there is nothing more I can say to you. I sincerely hope you pay attention to your parents. I wish I had listened better at your age. All the best in your future ... AFIN.
