  Do you want/expect your kids to take care of you when you're old?

  by GoingGoingGone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i had a conversation with my daughter tonight that got me pretty upset, and i'm wondering if i'm expecting too much from my kids.. both my kids went to outstanding colleges, have landed very well-paying jobs, and have very bright financial futures ahead of them.

  this makes me especially happy because my husband and i have always had to struggle financially (we both grew up jws and never got to go to college.

  ) it was a sacrifice for us to send them to college, but i would do it all again in a heartbeat.

  My Daughter Just Graduated From College!

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  she was about 13 or 14 when i first started having serious doubts about the wts.

  when i informed her of my doubts a couple years later, she took the information and ran with it.... she never looked back.

  i told her she could be whatever she wanted to be if she only worked hard enough.

  my 17 year old son told his dad that he didn't want to be a jw anymore about 8 months ago i think, and doesn't go to meetings or assemblies.

  he's been accepted to one of the best universities in the country and will start this fall, with his dad's blessing.

  their congregation had the summer convention this past weekend.

  2. friends

  i got an email from a friend today describing some strange happenings at the meeting: .

  " my wife was in the back room with the kids today and there was this guy who my wife later described as a little "scary looking" for some reason and was carrying an empty "bowling bag" (whatever that is.

  anyway, this guy starts grabbing old literature from the library and putting it in his bag.
