    With the increasing number of young ones leaving "the truth", it is critical to brainwash them regularly from young!

    The one who has dealings with the stupid will fare badly.—Prov. 13:20

    A child could drift away gradually on a spiritually dangerous path, being tempted by harmful association or degrading entertainment. To prevent such a situation from developing, act quickly if you recognize potential weak spots. Work at fortifying Christian qualities that your children have but that may need to be strengthened. (2 Pet. 1:5-8) The regular period for family worship is an excellent time for you to do that. In outlining this arrangement, the October 2008 Kingdom Ministry stated: “Family heads are encouraged to shoulder their responsibility before Jehovah to ensure that a meaningful, regular program of family Bible study is followed.” Are you taking full advantage of this loving provision to shepherd your children? Trust that your children deeply appreciate your putting priority on taking care of their spiritual need.—Matt. 5:3; Phil. 1:10. w14 9/15 3:10, 11

    In other words, teach your children that everyone who is NOT a JW is stupid, any non-JW association is harmful, and any "worldly" entertainment is degrading. Brainwash your children to follow the cult unquestionably from childhood, get them baptized at a young age instead of allowing them to make their OWN choice when they are more mature, and do not hesitate to shun them if they choose to leave. That's how you do it!!!

    "Have dealings with the stupid and you will certainly fair badly."  Prov 13:20  

    Been there and done that with the Watchtower organisation.

    The sooner your kids are on mother's nipple, the sooner we can dictate their future.

    So fathers do your job!

    This is a case of parents being manipulated to manipulate their children. The use of the word 'encouraged' in the KM is laughable- its not encouragement its scaremongering, inducing fear with the statement 'shoulder your responsibility before Jehovah' - yes folks the big J ain't gonna be happy with you-so ya better start manipulating those kids! Praps you could scare them senseless as we do you!

    I wonder how long it will be before they will be baptising toddlers?

    More and more young people are waking up & leaving "the truth". INSTEAD of acknowledging organizational faults which cause young ones to leave, the organization puts the blame on parents & encourages them to brainwash their children more!

    Kids don't "appreciate" more meetings, more lectures, more sit still time. It's apparent that the one giving this child rearing advice doesnt have any children.

    More repressed and guilt ridden children will be burdened with a lack of self esteem and growth, as they feel compelled to fit into the mould of parent pleasing obligation....for fear of being destroyed by a "loving" God.....

    In other words, FOG (Fear, Obligation, Guilt) or as the society says "Listen obey and be blessed"
