  thanks old soul and others so much.. as a newbie i have so much to tell, but right now i must tell of my current situation.

  i am a "family head" and have a wife and son.

  i gradually realized the truth about the truth when my son kept asking really good questions i couldn't answer.

  Hi

  Im a 20 yr old girl and Im not sure how old your son is but I was brought up a Jehovahs Witness by my parents, who are still. When I was 16 I decided I couldnt live with the rules of the congregation anymore as obviously it was having serious side effects on my social life. This I know is a weakness on my behalf but I have no guilty feelings at all unlike others I know who have left the truth. Im not going to lie to you and say that most people my age arent on drugs. Cause they are. We have become known as the Ecstasy Generation. But think back to when you were a kid, I bet 3/4 of the people you knew smoked pot and had a bit of a dabble in acid- maybe not -but what Im trying to say is that yes in this system things are getting worse and worse and they are going to continue to and you know why. Up until the age of 16 my parents made the mistake of trying to reign me in to tight. They wouldnt let me ever hang out with my 'worldly' friends or go anywhere for that matter unless it was some of the geeks in the cong (that was rude and offensive I know but that was how I viewed it back then). So eventually I started sneaking out and going to parties and not coming back for a couple of weeks at a time, I was never upto anything bad,but the way they acted they pushed me into it. To put it shortly, yes there is going to come a time if it hasnt already that your son is going to go through when he will probably sample every drug imaginable, because thats what teenagers do, but their will be an ultimate decision on his behalf on whether he wants to become a stoner or a pill popping raver or whatever. It doesnt matter whether he is a witness or not, he will make the decision himself and you have 2 choices, one is going to push him away and make him see home as a place where he cant feel relaxed and doesnt want to come home too, or, a place he will always turn to because dad will listen. If he does get in trouble its you that wants the phone call in the middle of the night not his mates parents. I just wish I had that of my parents.
