  "...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?

  i 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?

  hi i haven't posted for a while but i have a question and would appreciate any advice offered.

  i left the cult 2 years ago and i'm so happy now.

  i struggled at first and with the help of the lovely men and women on here i got stronger and started to find myself and ive grown as a person (i'm not being told who i am or who i should be anymore).

  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.

  Excerpt from an interesting book ? ?

  a deeply interesting read.. i have been reading: 'soul snatchers,the mechanics of cults' and i am finding it so precise in explaining /analysing cults.

  here is a few lines:.

  drug addiction and cult-membership have striking similarities.

  I forgot to add that a court may look more kindly on someone exposing their children to a diverse world rather than a rigid system that it is known to hide and protect pedophiles.

  @caves, it's how I kept my kids out of kh but then we didn't split up so it is a different scenario.

  Years later, my kids are Christian and know full well that the jw's are a cult. Love their jw dad all the same. Though they were taught unconditional love by me & their faith.
