  Help! My 14 year old has a cyber stalker and won't take it serious

  by CADSkin in

  so my 14 year old daughter recently has been duped into sending a facebook friend a video of her house and random crap by someone pretending to be a 17 year old in the uk.

  this set off major warning bells in my wife and i so we started to investigate.

  although all very innocent she was obviously being played by a cyber stalker.

  I think it's important to teach her to be wary and wise. This is something she will take with her throughout her life. My teenage child's friend befrended a boy, supposedly 2 years older then her. Same story as yours. Boys that are two years older, do not want a girl two years younger. There's a first tip-off.

  At the same time, i would parent her, but parent her reaonably. First, I would limit her computer & phone time to less then an hour a day. How much time does she have on it now? She needs to be out doing a sport, hobby, reading, and homework. Take away her computer and phone at bedtime. Nothing good happens after bedtime. And, I would put a keystroke recorder on her computer. That way, you know her sites and passwords. Becuase faster than you can ban a site, they will create a new name and/or go to a new site.

  And, yes, call the police. Stealing teenaged girls is big business. They are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. There is major child slave trafficking here in the US. If she were to get into some middle-eastern countries, there is a huge sex slave trade there. The mafia and gangs are getting into this. She needs to understand why she can NEVER post her real address or a picture of herself or her house.

  In general, the people on this forum have a poor outlook spiritually speaking.

  Do you make your own soup?

  greetings, soup lovers:.

  i have a huge kitchen at my disposal (not my own); vegetables, cans of this and that and spices are scattered about, prepared to go into a cauldron of minestrone i started a few days ago.

  i'm preparing ahead so as to freeze the leftovers to heat up later at home over my hotplate.. nothing like a 6-burner gas range to simmer over!.

  Yes, I love zuchini soup, lentil soup, vegatable soup, tomato soup, vegan chile, everything!

  I make my own soup becuase I am sensitive to MSG. Progresso & Campbells contain MSG. Most canned soups do. And, they taste wierd.

  The epitome of narcissism

  there are several disturbing things that were said in the latest annual meeting.

  one of the most disturbing was a comment made by david splane.

  he made reference to how the clergy "howled" when the first new world bible translation committee produced the first nwt.

  Splane's comment is illogical. It is pure circular reasoning. "Annoited" status is something that is made up by the WTS. So, proving that something by the WTS is more correct becuase it originates from the WTS elites is nonsense, it's circular. It isn't outside verification of the quality.

  Splane's comment also reminds me of another saying, "With the confidence that only ignorance can give."

  This is part of why the WTS doesn't want people to attend college. Philosphy & Critical Thinking was a mandatory class for every one of the 25,000 students in the big school I attended for my undergraduate. This class taught all sorts of fallacies in arguments.

  You can't fix stupid, but you can watch it within the Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Troubled Mind, Your light show is awesome. Love that used Michael Jackson's Thriller. So, how did you do this? What do you use to synch the lights with the music?

  OMG, I was asked to speak to a large crowd about my experience as a JW. As I was talking, I became like a 3rd person listening to my story. Then, I thought to myself, "These people must think I'm a nutcase." So, I finished up and alot of people came to talk with me after. They said they thought I was a survivor and a strong person. That made me feel better.

  this forum dissects everything from watchtower.

  the annual general meeting was one of those things.

  of course i get that wild speculations would come out.

  A Bible is the biggesst thing they offer. It gets the most donations, perhaps along with the CDs. So, getting millions of JDubs to buy a new Bible is a win-win for the WTS. Make a few changes and, most definately, change the outside color. Why change the outside cover? Well, who in their right mind would walk into a KH with a non-grey (old, outdated, old light) Bible. That, just wouldn't be Kosher.
