Parenting - strict or relaxed
by TheListener inthis was inspired by satanus' thread about how can people leave the truth when they've been raised in it.. i was raised in the truth, or as some say i was raised around the truth and made it my own when i was baptized.
i know typical doublespeak from dubs.. which method of parenting will most likely result in your child being a stronger jw?
a strict parent who enforces family study, meeting attendance regardless of health, regular service, constant spiritual talk inserted into daily life, having dub families over a lot and creating situations for regular association with dub kids of a similar age and not allowing association with school and neighborhood kids.

Awake - Family Review Section
by TheListener ini don't recall seeing this discussed yet but it bothers me that the may ?
?, 2005 awakes last page has a review section for families.. i know that technicall it is a good thing, teaching our children and encouraging them to be dubs and all.
but, as a fader, it's features like this and articles on families/child rearing that make a quiet fade difficult.. i like it better when they ignore kids or tell them what they aren't allowed to do.

change to Special Assy. Days, CA's and DC's
by TheListener ini have been thinking about this for some time.
i have been thinking how the society could maintain the same number of yearly obligations but lower their costs.
i could see the society making some changes to the assembly/convention setup in the near future to cut costs.

Eye Make-up infor to use with Dubs
by TheListener ini found these articles while researching information on make-up and eye make-up specifically.
although they are not written by the dubs, i could see the same type of argumentation occurring in a wt article.
this might help any who, like me, need to be ready to defend the idea that the society picks and chooses what is acceptable and what is not.

Slow Fade Progresses
by TheListener ini wanted to give everyone an update on the current state of my slow fade.
i live in an environment that is hostile to the slow fade so i usually speak in general terms.
this time i plan to give just a little bit more information so i can heal myself as i go through this process.. i have doubted for several years (about 3).

The WTBTS view of Catholicism-my theory of early WT plan
by TheListener inok let me state that this is a personal theory and may very well be full of holes.
but, i feel that i want to put it out there and receive only comments that agree with me, .
many of us here have lived through decades as witnesses or associates (relatives) of witnesses.
