If parents down the street are unfit parents, does it demean your own parenting?

Frankly I'd be honest with your Dad for three reasons.. 1) Even after you reach the age of consent you'll still have to talk and tell him 2) He needs to see forcing you won't help your relationship or your conversion to JWism. 3) You need to give your Dad chance to respond and change (rather than wait until you can argue and confront). I'd write him a letter so that you can write and re-write the words to say precisely what you want to say.. along the lines of... "Dad I respect your view and your faith but it's not mine.

I have to tell you I really dislike going to your kingdom hall and if you continue to make me go it will not only put me off listening to anything you have to say about JWs but will damage our relationship. I think you must know that some of the times I haven't been able to see at weekend I could have changed arrangements to come but didn't. That's how much I dislike going to your kingdom hall.

I have to say that if you will not respect my wish not to be forced to go to your kingdom hall then to me it's very plain that I have to accept your love for your faith is much greater than your love for me. It's entirely up to you what happens from here on in but you need to know how I feel and either ignore it or act upon it." I would not simply send the letter to your Dad but rather hand it to him and have him read it whilst you wait.

Your Dad having read your letter has the choice of how to proceed but clearly his choice has longer term implications and hopefully in reading your letter he'll get that. Either way he has a choice that will reverberate in your ongoing relationship for years to come and you can stand solidly in the knowledge that you did everything you could to avoid disharmony in your relatationship!

Age 18 in Texas. Remember what you allow yourself to think, see, hear, say and do literally set into motion Almighty God’s creative powers that form the matrix of life’s reality you find yourself now walking whether good or bad; so knowing this practice each day focusing your whole attention on your movements whether thoughts, sight, sounds, words or deeds, doing that which is good, positive and constructive. "A man can no more diminish God's glory or His Son Jesus by refusing to worship them than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."

The Daniel Project was playing on Netflix and can be found on Facebook; this documentary will open the eyes of some skeptics concerning the Word of God, prophecies fulfilled and Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, the Messiah. If you do not know Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, the Messiah, as your personal savior, yet believe He is Lord, was born of the Virgin Mary, died for your sins, arose from the dead the third day and is now at the right hand of Almighty God, then if so lead say this simple prayer to be saved and have eternal life in the Kingdom of God and not be Judged for sins truly repented. “Hear Oh Israel the Lord our God is one Lord and blessed is the Glory of the Lord from His place; Precious Jesus the Christ of Nazareth please forgive me my sins and come into my heart and life forever Amen.”

If you are sincere in this prayer then know for certain that you are saved and if you need help on your Christian walk email me back. http://counselfreelight.homestead.com/Ro...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
