my wife and i got on a discussion about something i never would've guessed we'd need to.
she wants to teach our new baby about santa claus, easter bunny, & tooth fairy, but i don't.
of course, as witnesses we never would have taught that, and i have to acknowledge that i may only be reasoning using that old set of values.. i don't want to look into my kid's eyes and tell her something that i know for a fact isn't true.
I was not raised JW, and I believed in Santa until I was about 6. I was not upset at all when I found out he wasn't real. I was happy just to continue celebrating Christmas with family and exchange presents. Some kids really do get upset, but I guess each kid is different. It really is a very personal decision.

i have personally been reading a lot more of the "serious" posts lately and thought it would be good for me (and hopefully others) to share a bit of humour.
i will start by telling a funny little story about what my six year-old daughter said this weekend:.
i played touch football this fall on weekends.
"Bye Bye stinkies...See you in heaven!"
That is PRICELESS!

just thought that i would post the lastest km for all those that have forgotten all the c_____ that the wtbs keeps sending its people.
i think you will get a hoot out of the "witnessing to relatives--how?
Me too, big and fuzzy.

Am I doing something wrong? I can't read them, they're too small.

i've just received an email from a non-jw friend who is discussing some issues with a non-internet'ed jw and would like to offer some quotes.. i'm afraid i've lost track of some stuff and haven't time to find them right now.. can anyone help with any part of this?
i'm crap at pulling up links from this site, and i know many of these sujects have been discussed here.wt quotes that say jesus isn't the great crowd's mediatorrandy's citation of the 10/1 or 1/10 1993 wt that encourages witnesses to hate apostatesquotes where the wts said you must be a member to be savedthe threads on the 144,000 doctrine (i can think of at least a couple in the last year)threads regardling doctrine changes, especially regarding the "generation change"a rebuttal to "witnesses are the 1st on every disaster scene and help to rebuild non-witnesses' houses, etc.
anyway, any focus on humanitarian efforts are just like 'polishing the brass on the titanic'".. i've already sent the link to "quotes" site, and am in the middle of answering a number of other questions.. any help would be gratefully received.. thanks in advance..

I second the others, thank you for starting this thread! Many jewels to be found in the WT literature...

i've been "studying" with a nice jw lady, we've been discussing the "what god requires" booklet.
we were reading about how very soon, jesus was going to start separating the sheep from the goats.
i jumped right on that, asking, "so this is a future event, right?
Thanks for all of your help!

One more question, why the change in understanding? Did it tie in with the generation change?

Thank you! That will be very helpful for my next "study" session.
