Those with children, do you want your children to be sexually active?

i know that we all felt the witnesses were to over the top on their restriction on sex, but do we want our children to be sexually active the way we wanted to be?

for example, should they have sex in high school with their girl/boy friends?

should they not be committed to anyway, and just have sex with whoever feels good at the moment, or better yet, who ever is willing?

i remember the 'Young People Ask' Book and how this was sin, this was wrong e.t.c
It damaged me for a while, and it took me over a year to get rid of some of the stuff i was told, even if i didn't believe it i still had it in my head

I have been out of the JW's for about 15yrs and some things to this day still won't go away! About my children having sex. I don't want them to until they are ready. I am not trying to hound over them or threaten then. I do want them to have a teenage life, one they can look back on and say wow, I remember when.... all I can say when I look back is wow, I remember being to scared to .......

JW literature

recovering from being a jw is hard as hell, all your structure and life is built on study, ministry and meetings.. leaving is like someone after stacking up boxes to make steps, pulling the bottom box away...but the people who make it through become strong people and rebuild their lives, make new friends and move on.. what i want to ask is could you read literature by/for jw's now you have left?

i think yes, my reason being is i know that they play with information and then change ideas, there is evidence of this in older literature.. as for current literature i wouldn't bury my head, yes i don't agree with what they say but i am not afraid to point out things.

My boys are still subject to yearly visits at the grandparents & uncles houses so they see and bring home some of the magazines & books, which is fine, they know its THEIR choice to lead that life or not too (thankfully they don't want to!). I've always liked in the Awake the little news quips on the back few pages and IF a JW stops by I have my boys answer the door and ask just for the Awake.
