Be honest. Tell them: "I no longer believe what is taught there....I believe.....) "----fill in the blank with what you believe. Do NOT belittle anyone else who does believe just tell the child what you feel in terms the child will be able to understand. Honesty is the best policy. -

We have raised and released many baby and injured birds....whenever you're going to touch or hold a bird and then release it into the wild, find leaves from any green plant and crush them in your hands as if washing with soap, before you handle the bird. You need to mask the scent of humans as the release-ee may be rejected by his flock or mate if the human smell persists.
Also remember they are not mammals, so never feed them anything milk based. Usually vegetable or fruit baby food is OK, sometimes oatmeal will do too. Wet food, but no water....they can mis-swallow and drown quite easily. They will learn to drink as young feathered birds generally speaking.

I find it strange that Jesus Christ....God's Son, the 2nd perfect man ever to appear on Earth.... was so inarticulate that he needs someone to explain what he meant to say 2,000 years ago.
Geeeezus kryste!!

Are Elders experts on the Bible? Are they spirtually qualified men?
by John Aquila inhow many times have elders read their bible in its entirety?
these are the leaders that give counsel to married couples, to teenagers, to single girls and single boys on everything from marriage, education, sex, association, dress, and recreation..
how well do they know their bible?

Absolutely, unequivocally "NO"....the may be qualified as janitors, window washers, maybe even as high as tradesman.....but in spiritual matters....hahaha, been there, been that, and I speak from experience: NO! -

I figured it out in my 50's tho I had serious doubts and questions from my early 20's. Both my parents had doubts before they died....but they both said 'it is still the truth'.....my Dad blew raspberries when I asked him what he thought about 1914 (this was well before the over-lapping generation excuse). My Mom called not celebrating birthdays and holidays ' a load of crap'....so they knew, but for whatever their reasons, they hung on.
I've been a fader, and have faded so deep that I'm nearly invisible. Haven't managed much of a social life rebuild, but still happy to not be wading chin deep in bull manure.

OK....perhaps this makes me look dumb, but has anyone figured out --beyond a shadow of a doubt, for a fact-- who filed the appeal?? Candace and her team; or the We Teach Bull & Total Shit henchmen? I've tried to keep pace, but that either hasn't been cleared up, or I missed it. -

Having known guy Pearce personally (strange super-imposed humility about him) I wouldn't put anything past him or any of the GB. I knew an elder when I was 'in' who seemed so up-right I couldn't imagine him being anything other than lily-white. He could barely say the word 'sex' or 'masturbation' without turning red. 5 or so years before he passed, I dropped by his house to check up on him, and when no one answered the door got worried. I stuck my head in and called out a 'hello'.....no response. So I walked in quietly and found him 'spanking the monkey' on his back porch. Pants down to his ankles, seriously stroking the beast. He never knew I was there, and I managed to sneak away w/o him knowing. But, geeeeez, this confirmed my belief that we are all human and have a skeleton or 2 in our closet---- no matter what we say, how we act in public (or even to our close friends and associates), we are all; each and every one, an imperfect human. So, no, I would not be surprised that all the GB have some serious fault. In fact I'd be more surprised if they didn't. -

Wise old saying: "marry in haste/ repent at leisure".
