You need to teach them to think without the shields coming up. A billboard is going to inspire heads in the sand and bullwarks against apostasy.

What Does Being Spiritual Mean To You?
by sweet pea inright now, to me being spiritual is all about being led by your inner spirit and includes .
1. being in tune with the goodness within and treating people how you would like to be treated.
2. being in tune with nature and appreciating the beauty and complexity of the universe.

Feeling connected to nature and to the world. Being in touch with myself and my partner. Being sensitive to the needs of others and wanting to do good with my life. Absolutely nothing to do with a higher power at all.

Look what I got last night :)
by misanthropic inhe's 7 weeks old, he's a chocolate lab and i named him tony.
his eye isn't messed up it just looks that way because i was trying to get his face to look forward while i pushed the button all at once.
he kept me up all night last night crying, but hopefully just like with my beagle he will outgrow that.

Try wrapping a ticking clock in a warm towel and putting it in his bed at night. It might help with the crying as it simulates sleeping beside a heartbeat.

Reasoning with spouses using the 09/07 KM article
by sir82 ini am still working on my wife, some progress is being made, but it is slow going.. here is how i plan to reason with her regarding the 9/07 km article on "non-endorsed" methods of study.
feel free to use or adapt yourself, if you are in a similar situation.. .
suppose that one day a stranger calls the house when i am not at home.

But they think it is for their protection because Satan will confuse them into thinking that things are false which are actually true. Not sure how one would overcome this point.

I think we have them on the run!
by Wasanelder Once ina young friend who attends in name only and is not baptized, informed me of the announcement about 30 minute talks.
the counsel was read from the platform that if there is bad news about this "system" to avoid discussing it.
the phrase "gloom and doom" was actually used in the talk.

I'm not sure they can ever take the negatives out..but maybe they mean to make their side defensible by not publicly endorsing the idea.

What do we believe Mommy?
by lrkr inmy wife just took a class on hinduism and buhddism (sp??
) and she is telling our son about it.
she tells him about how in tibet they believe that the dalai lama has been born 114 times and that the current dalai lama could identify the personal possessions of the previous one when he was 4 years old- thus "proving" that he was the reborn lama.. my son, bewildered, says- "but do we believe that?".

I think it's a great idea. Less would be drawn into cults if they were taught about all the belief systems in the world. Just make sure he knows it's okay to be unsure, it's okay to not believe any of it, and it's okay to think for himself.
