My 8 year old daughter tells me she is an atheist...???

by sosoconfused in

so since we have not been to a meeting in 6 months or so, i decided to ask my daughter (on the way home from cheerleading practice - yeah i can't believe i am letting her engage in such a worldly activity lol) if she misses going to the kingdom hall.

she says sometimes because she can't see her friend - but she has made new friends so it doesn't bother her too much.

so i ask her, "well, what about learning about jehovah?

Actually it is subjective. Take the bottom 19% and break it down further. Someone who makes $250000 a year is probably in the bottom 19%.

Actually they are in the top 6-7%

Wow

As for the OP, absolutely true. Those who disagree need a history/economics lesson.

The truth does hurt. Those who cling to lies.

It's a terrible idea that is devastating the world. The fact that billionaires can exist is a disgrace for humanity.

They are too young to be dealing with such issues at this age. One of my big beefs with the JW's. There was no reason in the world for children to hear the same complicated, scary, (boring), discussions that the adults did.

I missed a lot of TV over the last 30 years

by sosoconfused in

since i have stopped attending meetings i have realized that there are alot of good t.v.

shows that i have missed as well as channels that i would not watch because they would no doubt be in opposition to the scriptures(har har).. .

i have been watching the history channel and the discovery channel so much over the last few months that it is amazing.

Dexter is a great show! It took me about three episodes to get over the idea, and I was hooked.

I missed quite a bit of TV myself. I wasn't allowed to watch such stellar shows as "Dark Shadows", "The Flying Nun", or "Bewitched". When I had the chance, I wasn't that interested. I wonder why................
