  Personality Wise----Are You THAT Much Different Since Leaving The "Truth"?

  i believe that most people are what they are----whether they were jws or are exes.

  for example, if you were a basically happy go lucky person in the hall, you probably have that same nature now.

  conversely, if you were accused of always complaining and being miserable then, you probably still bitch and moan now.

  As different as night and day.

  I was raised into it and not allowed to be my own person. After leaving it, I became the person I was always meant to be.

  Were you allowed to play sports?

  i was never allowed to play sports, because it would be too much association with worldly people.

  no skating, dance class, racquet ball, softball, nothing.

  in my kingdom hall, only the "spiritually weak" played sports.

  I don't think you can be publicly reproved for this though since it is not a disfellowshipping offense. I can see a special needs talk being given about the subject without mentioning the person by name, marking them.

  There could have been more to his situation that he was not disclosing to me, but that's the answer I got. Also, after his name was read the talk was about the danger in playing sports. They compared it to being in the Greek Olympics and how the sports had pagan origins.

  Two years old is too young to dress themselves. They don't have the coordination to be able to handle such a big job. At that age they are just experimenting on trying to put clothes on, but don't know how to do it yet.

  This is what I did to dress my kids. When you wake them up in the morning, before they even really wake up, start dressing them. They will be half asleep still and just lay there as you dress them. By the time you're done dressing them, they will be woke up enough to get up and go to the breakfast table.

  Wow- I just read your post that's amazing that she can dress herself, you have one smart cookie!

  If I even said hello to a worldly person, I was given a glare by my parents. Could you tell me your experience with sports?
