If I did go again haven't for 5 years. I would have to partake. I wouldn't want them to be able to count me in their numbers.

The Memorial...
by Justice-One indoes anyone still go to the memorial?
i was just thinking that although i made it quite clear to my wife that i was not going to go to anymore meetings or conventions (i made a comment about not wanting to be there when the kool-aid came out) that i caught myself thinking the other day that i might go to the memorial just to keep her happy.
but then i thought why?

I have to laugh! They talk about how this is a violations of his rights. Oh please. As far as I'm concerned he has no rights. We publish pictures of stars clothed in more/less revealing clothes. He is a murderer and I hope it humilates him even further!

Good for you. It is the best present you could ever give yourself. I work in the Cath Lab at a Hospital and see every day, first hand how bad smoking is for your arteries. I wish you luck!

Raising well rounded and balanced kids...what have you done right?
by My MILs worst nightmare, a nonJW inparenting is one of the most difficult yet rewarding things there is.
doesn't every parent want their children to have a good moral compass, to have good manners, to be socially adept, to be compassionate, to reach their potential and even overachieve in terms of school and career, to appreciate and understand history, science, the arts and the world as a whole, to play team sports when they are younger so they can benefit from physical activity and the comraderie of a team sport, and above all to be a critical thinkers who are strong and independent so that they will not become easy prey to abusive organizations and/or abusive people?.
as a parent i have many times felt like a real failure and at other times like i am actually helping them to reach their potential.. what do you feel that you have done right in raising well rounded and balanced kids?

My son is almost 22 and my daughter is 18. I think I did the best I could. They have turned out pretty well actually. My son has one more year of college and my daughter, well she is just starting on her journey. She will start school for a Massage Therapist next month. My daughter has been more of a challenge than my son. She is much more easily influenced than he. They both always tell me they love me all the time and know that I'm always there for them no matter what. I regret having raised them as JW for most of their life and feel that stifled them quite a bit, however I think they both know right from wrong and have good morals. We are all out now and they know how much it bothers me that I feel like I failed them having raised them in "THE LIE" they tell me its OK and that they know that I thought I was doing the right thing at the time.
