  The Org and my marriage

  by Chloe in

  2. relationships

  well, it looks like the jehovah's witnesses are going to start intruding in my marriage again.. a little background, when i first met my husband he was going to meetings sporadically.

  he has studied off and on for years but was never baptized so he's always been in the "love bombing" stage with them.

  he believes most of the doctrines (no christmas although he lets me celebrate it, the trinity is wrong, etc.

  Purza: WELL she is a typical 14 year old. Yep. My daughter is 22 and still is quite thoughtless. I know how you feel and I wish I could tell you words to make things better. I always said if I had it to do over I would have prayed for just average intelligence for my kids....YEP the smarter they are the harder to raise.

  I do wish I had Dr. Phil when my teenager was that age. I agree with what he says. You find your childs currency and you use that for control. ALSO do not worry about taking stuff from them. I know that I would have had it easier with my daughter had I been tougher like Thunder wanted me to be. I wish I had stripped her room left her with just a bed UNTIL she was acting correctly. My child never did drugs or drank but just was a pain in our ass as far as the respect and cleaning. Nip it in the bud now. Our daughter is still struggling with these issues...believe it or not.

  I feel for you. The next four years will go fast. Just grin and bear it. I do recommend Dr. Phil's new book on parenting children.
