Mouthy you do yourself an injustice if your daughter was a loving generous christian then that is a credit to you, you have no idea how rare that is especially were I live.
I haven't personally been to a sunday school i'm a born in Jw but I saw a few in documentaries a recent one was called dispatches "in God's name" there's no question in the setting the children enjoy it, it's just a nursery that teaches whatever faith is practised there but however enjoyable it still is directing the children specifically to the teachings of that particular faith.
I was thinking on this and maybe we have Jesus to blame for Jw's allowing kids to answer up at meetings with there literal interpretation of bible, Jesus in the temple talking to jewish leaders at twelve (I think was his age) one of the few childhood mentions of his life. this could be the principle they were influenced by. am I right any ex-elders out there?

JW wife says she loves me more often NOW???? Should I test that?
by oompa ini was pm with a@g and have with others here in the one-in-one-out marriage situation, and have a question.
time flies.....i have been considered apostate for at least two years now, and it seems my wife says she loves me all the time....almost makes me uncomfortable.
i have changed, not her, and i realize that.

You make a fair point Onthewayout in the end your right I do not know oompa's position, I was answering purely from a general standpoint and more in response to other posts and what oompa originally put.
I pretty much agree with you and think we should be careful what we say on here in these personal situation posts
I hope things work out for you oompa from what onethewayout says and your own words you have a difficult situation, Love is a difficult emotion and I can only say I distrust the "in love" feeling now and crave the gentler more long-lasting plain ordinary everyday wash-my-socks type of love born of life experiences and of course good sex thrown in lol.

Heres an apposing viewpoint. My jw grandfather is the only one my children have in their lives he keeps in touch and is loving despite my not being a current JW. he does give me a moral tongue-wagging every now and then though :S
They do have other grandparents non-Jws but one set walked away saying they didn't want to get attached to their disabled grandson in case he died and another set said they live to far away and don't want to get attached because they can't see them enough but they have made a bank account for my daughter to access at 18(guilt I suppose), money instead of grandparent hmm thats works! (NOT)

by karter inas a jw we were always told worldly people were bad always out for what they could get out of you.
as for me iv'e made some good friends not anything as bad as the jw's said they woul'd be.

YES! This is a difficult one because while people can be kind a generous as any human can be but I find big issues as encouraged by current governments/religions allow for a lot of coldness.
its not the little kindnesses but what general forms of treatment are encouraged.
My son is disabled and atm I can only get carers that a fully qualified police checked etc and that means no-one will touch him being afraid i will prosecute if something goes wrong, my carer has a list of things she is not allowed to do with my son inc no trampolines, no bouncy castles, no swimming, and the list goes on, the world is litigation mad.
lol anyone who thinks Jw's are strict have never had to deal with social services! I just had a commitee meeting last week to assess my son. With 2 social workers he has and a outside assessor everytime I bought up a worry my social workers shot my words down saying I was coping well, I have these meeting twice a year and everytime i'm treating like the idiot mother thats doesn't know what she is talking about and should be humoured, You may not believe listening to me on here but when faced with these meetings I do become a gibbering idiot. a Jc would be a walk in the park in comparison. (I have no choice but to do these meeting if I want carers to give me breaks and help me as main carer of my son its all part of the govermental machine)
As most know from my original post my ex-partner who is in a nice lovey pentacostal faith had no problem leaving me pregnant to bring our child up alone, by saying "jesus forgives me" to himself.
These days I am just sadly accepting of the status quo, yes people are kind but they do it once and pat themselves on the head then walk away, and if I ask non-JW family to much for help they say "I have a life I shouldn't be using it all up on you" Definitely personal gratification is the name of the day.

I don't think this is a biggy and It certainly makes them different from most other christian religions were the kids are either in sunday school being indoctrinated or made to just sit in complete silence, I have always liked that the children are allowed to answer,
I don't think whether they answered or not changed how they were bought up with a view to how much they were indoctrined into JW faith, although those that got talks too young and felt the pressure have a good point, I would stop my son doing heavier talks till they were a lot older and into double figures.
I disagree with some on here I think children can reason quite well in cetain circumstances I would be one of the mothers that say answer for yourself when you want too but not at my say so.

Onthewayout your right I don't want this to become a "reniaa thread too" i'm becoming famous and this first time i've been on for a while lol
I shouldn't let myself get drawn into spausal discussion threads, it's pet hate of mine on here! I just think we can end up inciting open warfare in peoples homes and marriages making them take defensive or attacking positions when it can be done in a nicer way using example and love allowing curiosity to be answered in a natural way, not by emotional manipulation and force.
And thats my last on it, Sorry Onthewayout but I do feel strongly on this and it's not really a JW issue just a humanity one.

Dear Oompa,
Perhaps the real question is - Do you really love her?
If YOU really LOVE HER, then you will do everything you can to free her from the WT cult.
That is really the bottom line.
Nothing else really matters in comparison.
my two cents.
posted by The oracleeww oracle does that inc destroying his marriage? I would disprove of the fanaticism of purpose implied in your words from a JW too, it just doesn't allow for you treating someone as a human being allowed to have their own mind.

It is not a healthy situation, but it is the best I can hope for until she starts thinking again.
Blacksheep your words encapsulate what I have as a problem when these shunning topics come up, ON the whole I think shunning is not good but from what people say on here and your words inc it comes across as if they dispise the JW partner for remaining and think they are stupid and not thinking right in some way...now I know you can turn this on it's head an equally apply it to the attitude of Jw's thinking the same way of someone who is apostate but doesn't that then mean the blame is equal and should be placed at both doors?
If someone was constantly telling me I'm stupid for still believing Wts as they do to me on here lol it would definitely make me want to avoid them.
