  As a parent of 3 teenage boys-who would DIE if they thought I was going to do something like that-I can say it would have gotten way worse for him at school.

  That story would spread through the school like wildfire. The boys would be ruthless to him and the girls would just feel pity.

  Girls feeling pity towards you=low self esteem.

  when i was a teenager in the early-mid 80's, rick springfield was popular .

  as a teen girl, i was in love with him and his music.

  the girl who studied with me was quite verbal about not idol-worshipping him or any pop culture personality.

  I am going to have to check 'Californication' out. My hubby went to the concert with me and teased me a bit about him. It was a good night!

  I saw him in concert last night! I loved it. It brought back a lot of memories from my teen years. He has aged QUITE well.

  "They have very little patience for normal teenagers and their normal phases." This is soo true.

The girl who studied with me was quite verbal about not idol-worshipping him or any pop culture personality. And at the time, quite a lot of the literature seemed to have articles about worshipping sports stars, musicians, etc...

  Did you know that hanging posters on my bedroom was was just like having a graven image of him. Really? So, I put a poster of him in my closet. For some reason, in my 13 year old mind, that wasn't as bad as having it displayed on my bedroom wall. I felt guilty for wanting to see him in concert and listening to his music.

  I look at this now and realize how truly crazy the religion is. It's normal for a teenager to want posters and magazines with their favorite athlete, pop star, rapper or whatever in it. My boys are sports freaks. They all went through a phase where they wanted to have nothing but sports posters and magazine clips on their wall.

  WTS vs The Smurfs? 2011

  by kzjw in

  2. beliefs

  with the release of the 3d movie the smurfs, will the wt once again bash the little blue people as agents of satan?

  we see the focus on twilight bashing, so is this even a relevant call for the society to make?

  or will they rely on their past attack of papa smurf and the gang?.

  I think they will say something like they did in the 80's. Unless of course, there has been new light on the matter.

  "many times the article it speaks about members having to sell books"

  That is the part that I thought was a bit exaggerated. And you are very correct that it would turn the JW's off.
