larc	The Poor JW Children
	The children There are many things that could be changed, and even though I would never go back, I think there are some very basic changes they could make in their child rearing practices, simple changes that would make a big difference in their society. 1. Don't force small children to sit for two hours in a chair. This was discussed at length on the thread about slapping children at the Kingdom Hall. 2. Don't bring children to meetings where the subject has to do with adult sexual practices. 3. Don't tell teenagers that they can't ask someone out for a date unless marriage is on their mind. 4. Don't tell them that they are not special, that they have to humble themselves and be like everyone else. 5. Don't tell them they have to get good grades through high school as a reflection of what Jehovah has given them and then tell them they can't go to college when they graduate from high school at the top of their class. 6. Don't tell your wordly neighbors that you give your children presents all through the year, but not on their birthday, when they have never seen a special gift wrapped present in their life. 7. Don't expect a shy child to enjoy going from door to door and don't expect an extroverted, lively child to sit still at meetings. 8. Don't tell an inquiring child not to ask questions and don't tell them not to read interesting books. 9. Don't surprised if you don't change your ways that your children will leave you, even though they love you.
