ok, im putting my neck on the line here but ive always believed that children should be raised to make their own choice, if to serve jah or not.. i wasnt ever forced to believe in anything, any religion etc, although my background is very complicated.. anyway, hubby and i have always thought that how can a child decide if they dont know what other things are, ie birthday partys, halloween etc.

so, our children are allowed to choose if to go places etc.

last year our little boy said he didnt want to go to a halloween party, this year he said he might.

Do you feel thats right or wrong?

Inconsistent parenting is wrong, period.

Raising children in the Watchtower cult, yet allowing them to go ahead and celebrate pagan, worldly holidays — ESPECIALLY demonic Halloween — sets them up for major guilt trips before Jehovah.

Some might even call it emotional child abuse.

"This world is passing away and so is it's desire." And what about "Quit touching the unclean thing?" Those scriptures were inculcated into us as mere babes! We were instructed to "write them on our heart."

How can you drag your children back to the Kingdom Hall after allowing them to participate in THE MOST Satanic of holidays?

From where I stand, it's not just the height of hypocrisy, but utter cruelty to mess with their little heads and hearts like that.

Noah spoke many languages on the ark.

Jehovah God in His wisdom lovingly sent Noah a Dr. Dolittle instructional DVD before He released the ever-present water canopy and destroyed every living thing on the planet.

(Noah learned very quickly; they were closer to perfection back then.)

Go right ahead GG, I'll be checking back 'til about 1:00 or 2:00 AM EST.

As you become more conversant with ID, you're sure to see that it's just the old Aldus PageMaker Adobe-fied, revamped to challenge Quark... and on some major steroids!

It's all good. :–)

Hey there, Georgiegirl,

A critical concern is that you're using trial software. See if it will even let you print? Usually it will let you create content for screen use but not output actual files.

Or it will, with a dreadful watermark. Useful for learning but not for real-time work, especially under a weekend deadline!

In the meantime, please do check out InDesign's Long document features section on the Adobe website.

Creating book files
Creating a table of contents
Creating an index
Working with markers

(They also include offsite links to a long documents video and a lesson from the "Classroom in a Book" series.)

I would set up an InDesign template with master pages (with headers and footers) and style sheets. I'd use the template to create each chapter as a unique document, then compile them into an InDesign "book file." From there you can generate the TOC by selecting which styles you want tagged for inclusion. This allows you to maintain a high level of control over local pagination as well as overall book assembly.

There are a host of reasons why I would not choose MS Word for this particular project the way you've described it so far... Suffice it to say I've worked as a graphic designer and production manager in print publishing for the last 20 years (including textbooks and medical/technical user manuals), and prior to that as an executive assistant who's all too familiar with MS typing software masquerading as a professional publishing toolbox.

My 2¢ and best regards,

~Sue

IS THERE ANY JUSTIFCATION THAT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE KILLED BABIES.??

by Mr. Majestic in

.

assuming the bible true:.

thinking of the story of the way that jehovah, through samuel and saul, dealt with the amalekites; with the discovery of the criminal gene, could this justify the god of the bibles actions against these nations, when he put out the order to not have compassion for them, and the israelites were ordered to put to death, man as well as woman, child as well as suckling...??

I never have gotten an explanation for why little bablies would be killed as if they were just cockroaches.

The explanation I received: "If the Israelites spared the children, they would grow up and seek revenge against their captors for murdering their families and stealing their land."

Which makes perfect sense, when you really think about it. The Israelites were hell-bent on land acquisition through genocide, the entire OT reeks of that barbaric theme.

Do not give what is holy to dogs,

and do not throw your pearls before swine,

or they will trample them under their feet,

and turn and tear you to pieces. (Matthew 7:6)
