My heart goes out to the both of you. I for the most part agree with DoC, but you'll have to do what is best for you. The situation can't be easy... But she's still your daughter and loves you very much. The holidays don't make sense, especially to an outsider, but she still loves you even when she doesn't call on Mother's Day. It may just be you'll have to take whatever the crazy cult allows, which just happens to be Anniversaries.

Sex at 14?
by headisspinning inhello all.... some of you have been following our story from the beginning - and even those of you who haven't should be able to relate to my quandary.... last week my 14 year old son told me he no longer wants to be a jw.
we laboured over telling his jw dad all week.
well, on friday night he finally came clean.. but in a bizarre and unexpected twist, after having sex with his girlfriend for the very first time - in his father's home that very afternoon.

As the black doctor at the Houston Health Department used to say, "Rubbers and foam. Rubber's no good if they break or slip off and there's no foam. Rubbers and foam." I was a faithful JW and he really tried hard to talk me into taking a brown paper bag of "rubbers and foam."
You don't even need the foam any more... Have you ever tried finding a condom WITHOUT spermicidal lubricant?

Who is this organization? I signed using my spam email account, but I've never heard of them.
I had hoped that this bill had died a painful death after the massive political backlash to it.

These kids are growing up too fast they are over sexualized by the modern music and movies.
Oversexualized by modern music? LoL. Music has been "oversexualized" since at least the Rennaisance [before that, it was arguably about the Fin Amore]. Things are keeping on the way they always have... and we're just as worried about it today as they were before Christ.
EDIT: @headisspinning: I went through a similar phase in my choice of women when I was coming out. Sounds like a natural reaction to the crazy conservatism of the witnesses... A little concerning but it probably won't last anyway. -

@headisspinning: I'm glad your ex is being at least a little bit reasonable. I hope for the best for all of you!
@Mr. Falcon: ROFLMAO

Speaking as someone who was all-too-recently 14 and has known his fair share of sexually active 14-year-olds (NOT like that), if you don't let him, he's going to do it anyway. He'll even do it in military school, church camp, etc... If you call the girls parents, he will just find another girl to "do it" with... Though it might slow him down a bit. If you try to teach him to fear sex as opposed to teaching him how to be responsible about it, you will just do more harm than good. ESPECIALLY because it says a LOT that he trusted you enough to tell you the truth.
[My opinion: 14 is not too young, because he's doing it of his own accord... Though I would ask some general details to make sure he's not being pressured. People just make too big of a deal out of sex. It's a bodily function no different than peeing and pooping and fighting against it will result in nothing but pain and suffering. Fortunately, we live in a day and age where it can be done with little to no danger of STDs or pregnancy... THANK GOD FOR CONDOMS!]
EDIT: By the way... Did you mean Publisher or Unbaptized Publisher? If it's the former then .

Why could not Evangelical President Bush stand with President Obama at the 9/11 Memorial and honorize the victory over the Leader of Al Qaeda
