She is very intelligent & I think she just needs subjects that utilize more of it. She is in her 3rd year at a very good rated college here. Some colleges (universities) offer Doctorate degrees as well as Bachelors.

Need Ideas - Parenting Problem/Question
by exjwshell inhere's a question to all of you parents out there.... do any of you, especially those who were born and raised as a jw, have trouble parenting your non-jw children?...
i've been "out" for 18 years and since then have married and had two children.
i find it incredibly difficult to not parent "witness style".

I chose my battles carefully. Only having been exposed to the jws from age 13-15 was plenty for me! But ever after I had to deal with my mother's authoritarian style & it went agains tthe very fiber of my being. My personality is laid back & not bossy. I am not organized, not regimented & not even apt to follow a whole lot of arbitrary rules. So it had to be really important for me to fight about it. May I ask how old your kid is?

Where are they mentioned in a Bible?

Am I a bad person to ask Why?
by rockhound inin the light of thinking that i am a person of reason, having a measure of good sense, and not wanting to go against the flow of the main stream, i now look back and wonder "why did it take me 40 years to wake up and smell the roses" about the organization?
when the big fiasco, and i mean big fiasco, of 1975 came and went, didn't i know down deep that i had been chasing "parked cars" spiritually?
with my spiritual nose bleeding i just hung in there with the rest and didn't make a fuss.

Sure so did 1925! Please tell me that you never knew about the past failures? You ignored these past dates when it did not affect you personally right? You did not seem to get a hoot when preaching to others about taking in no blood even at the risk of one's child! So again, 1975 is a big deal? God's organization said so? You need to take some blame for your actions, it was you who joined the organization not the other way around.
FDS-How, at that time, did you think anyone was aware of what was hidden by the jws? No internet existed. Not even Crisis of Conscience existed. So how would you expect unsuspecting new converts being love bombed to be aware of any of that? Many were not even alive in 1925 during 1975.

Hey FDS, the 1975 thing was a HUGE deal. Peple put off having children. They sold their houses. They bought all kinds of junk & got in debt. Because the world was going to end in 1975. Sounds huge to me.
