And BTW, Landy, to answer your question she's 14.
A fantanstic age for hormones and confusion!
As Steve says, above keep those lines of communication open. She can't take your advice if she's not speeaking to you! Good luck and I hope it pans out.

Found Another Medieval Coin This Evening
by cofty ini got in an hour metal detecting this evening and found this almost immediately.. it is a silver penny of henry ii minted in london by "davi" between 1180 and 1189. this adds a king i didn't have in my collection.
i now have the series of henry ii - john - henry iii - edward i - edward ii - edward iii.. i now need richard the lionheart to fill in the gap.
he was the brother of john and reigned after the death of henry ii.

in the south, texas and louisiana no idea why.. in the bible leprosy is mentioned upwards of 40 times.
the main reason why leprosy is talked.

How to Fade - The Basics!
by The Searcher inthis really works.
i've already applied the basics of this with one elder who "offered" us a shepherding visit.
we've been totally ignored since!!!

Good advice for sure. Would just add another twist that can be used. If you get into a spat with someone in the congregation, you can always play the "stumbled card"
Sneaky. I like it.

An elder's business is advertising on this site!
by stuckinarut2 inoh the irony!.
i have noticed several times, that a business, owned by an elder who used to be at bethel as a young guy, advertises here!.
ok, before i get shot down, i understand that ads are generated somehow by key words on the page etc...(perhaps someone can explain it properly?).

Wow, Landy, your hypocrisy never fails to amaze me. You were inexcusably rude from your very first interaction with me on this site, and here you have the audacity to preach to someone else about how they should treat their daughter. Wow. Just wow.

Jehovah's Witnesses - a religion of displaced people?
by slimboyfat ini've had a theory for a long time that jws historically have appealed to people who have been displaced or find themselves in a new environment away from family and friends.
i also read an article recently that suggested that internal migration in italy was a big boost for jw growth.
more generally it has long been theorised that new religious movements are a phenomenon particularly associated with disruptive features of modernity, including the hyper-mobility of people in the modern age.

There are exceptions that prove the rule but generally they fall into several categories;
Born ins
People who's own life was that unhappy they embraced tne love bombing of a congregation as a new family
People who have 'lost' something or someone and are looking for 'answers'
People who like to be big fish in small ponds and lord it over others.

You say she's a teenager but not how old - if she's 13 and living under your roof then that's different to her been 19 and living somewhere else.
Ultimately she has to make her own mind up - yes you can have conversations where you encourage her to think for herself but if if you come up against something she believes in then she will entrench and you'll make matters worse.
You catch more flies with jam than you do with vinegar.
