When you first started to learn about the Bible, God and Jesus? Preschool or school age?
Who were you learning from? Parent, church or other?
I was preschool age being taught to by my father. He was a witness and we had home bible studies every week. My reading skills were above average by the time I started school because I was also being groomed for public speaking. (Sucked)
The second I was born.
My mom did most of the teaching.

LOL. My memory doesn't go back that far, as far back as I can remember it was always meetings, field service and home studies.
Oh, pardon me!
When the Bible Story Book came out when I was 9, I really started learning who was who and what was what in the Bible.
Before that, I couldn't understand what the meetings were about, EVER.
Messianic Kingdom sounded like a messy kingdom. What's a kingdom, anyway? Huh?
Children learning right alongside their parents is such a myth.
We learned nothing at the meetings.
Boredom stops the learning process.
Heck, I didn't even know who Jesus was until I was 7 and asked my grandmother.
I became morbidly afraid of demonz around that time, as well.
I'm a third-gen (mom's side) and fourth-gen (dad's side) JW, so I started learning about Jehoober "from infancy." I gave my first Bible reading when I was four.
Pre-school..Learning from my mom,was such a pleasure .........
..Armageddon!....No Blood!....Armageddon!....New System!....Armageddon!....Jehovah!....Armageddon!.............................

So true. The lack of testing your knowledge made things worse. I'm forever doomed with a lack of comprehension of anything I read.
I was 12, my mom was a witness then, and a special pioneer at
that time studied with me....

My parents were Methodists. We attended Sunday School and church and they taught us to pray each night, as small children (preschool).

When I first started learning about the Bible, God, and Jesus, I was in my late 20's. I began being taught by a wonderful Episcopal priest.
I was indoctrinated from the New World "Translation" and lied to about Jehovah and Jesus pretty much from birth. We held the book study at our house so I remember it from a very early age. Also, my mother used the Awake to teach us to read. Yep, screwed up from birth.
