i hope there is someone who had a similar situation and would advise to me.. my daughter veronica is 8. her mom (we are divorced) is a hard core jw.
she puts lots of pressure on my daughter for her to lead a jw approved lifestyle.
but kids are kids.
Thanks Laine! Nice post. It's very much in line with all other experinces. It's also nice that you call your husband's daughter "our daughter". Love is above everything even above the fear WT preaches. I hope that one day my daughter will decide to move with me too.
Thanks.

Thanks everyone! I've been trying hard for the last 3 years for my daughter not to get too involved with JW lifestyle but since she spends most of her time with her mom... I don't teach her to dislike her mom but I tell her that in my opinion JW religion is full of lies and falsifications. She says that it is just my opinion. When I ask that whatever they say is also an opinion, she doesn't have an answer and changes topic right away. How do you get a kid to be trained to filter the info like they do? What else can I do to prevent her to grow a full blown JW?

My daughter Veronica is 8. Her mom (we are divorced) is a hard core JW. She puts lots of pressure on my daughter for her to lead a JW approved lifestyle. But kids are kids. When Veronica comes to my house she forgets about her mom's rules, goes to birthday parties with me, etc.
They were studying the government structure in school and she was doing her homework a few weeks ago. Part of which she did at her mom. Usually she likes to do it all at my house. She was hiding from me the part she's already done and didn't want me to see it. When I insisted on seeing it she took an eraser and started to erase her writing. The question was: Why is it important to vote? The answer she had: It is not important because we already have a ruler - Jesus Christ. Then she started to cry explaining that she had it blank first then after talking to her mom she wrote it. I didn't ask her to erase it - she did it herself. Then after talking about voting, about why do we have it and what would've happened if we didn't she wrote: It is important to vote because we can choose who we want.
She is so confused and I don't want to put any additional pressure on her. But it hurts to see how she slowly starts to follow the JW doctrines, doesn't say pledge of allegiance in school. What's next? I am from satan and God will kill me and all my relatives soon? Very soon?
Anybody knows how to react and what to do?
Thanks.
Mark
