31Don Adams has passed away
by RubaDub ini received a call from a friend in new york city that don adams passed away late last evening (30 dec 2019).
many of you bethelites know him and he was the president of the society for a number of years after the gb got out of the corporate structure business.
from what i understand, he was generally liked by many there.. some in my family knew him.

"They are the group of Christians..."- only in their own minds. Nobody I know considers them 'Christian'.
"...His will.."- you mean like hiding pedophiles? breaking up families and not allowing natural affection? making requirements on dress, make up, hair cuts, etc...? Those things do make them 'unique' as far as religious folks go. Most religions claim love, family, helping widows and orphans, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, etc...

"...the corporation"- is this term used in regularly? I don't think in the US it would go over as well.

Should't they cancel their meeting tonight?
by carla ini find it kind of amusing that as worldly people who pass by a kh and know nothing of jw's tonight will think that the jw's are having a christmas eve service.
many churches have a number of services tonight; children's program, family/christmas eve service and maybe a midnight candlelight service.. you know how some jw's won't even wear red between nov & dec lest anybody think they are celebrating the holidays?
well then, shouldn't they cancel tonight's meeting so nobody thinks they are doing their own christmas eve service?

Learn how to teach a child critical thinking skills.
Do holidays! be the fun parent with birthday parties, Christmas, Easter, after school sports, band, arts, etc....
Visit various faiths to learn about world religions and to let your ex know in no uncertain terms that you will be teaching the child all about other faiths.
Teach the child it is more than ok to be an individual with their own thoughts, beliefs, likes and dislikes.
Teach the child to question everything even if it comes from you, dad, grandparents, teachers and especially religious authorities. When it is age appropriate teach them about cults.
Bring the child to a fun Sunday school! they do arts, crafts, dance, plays and so forth and still learn basic Bible stories. Quite a difference from a kh from what I hear.
Do all you can to protect your child's well being. Protect them from spiritual abuse, physical & sexual abuse, mental and emotional abuse. Be the mother bear and protect your child.
