thankyou for your amazing response. one of the reasons i am having doubts about whether this would be good for me and my kids is the fact that even though im a single parent and they have shown love to me and my children i just cant get over the fact that my daughter is not into religion and even though she is 12 she has her view and i believe its her choice to believe or not i wouldn't be able to never speak to her again whatever she did or didn't do. my son also i love him to bits he is 8 and even though he will soak up the information, if he decided it wasn't for him that would be ok too i wouldn't force him. my job is to just show them the right way and never stop encouraging. the thing is though im starting to see like in one of your questions i could be asking, the watchtower seems to have a lot of power over the congregation and just getting this simple question answerd there is proving difficult. when i see the path with god i see me wearing the head covering and the long dresses i see a family who is open an honest and is the refuge from the world so that people can follow god together without being lonely on the path. in the meetings though im seeing a lot of hush hush mentality and it doesn't seem healthy. don't get me wrong one of the reasons for me choosing to study with them was because they follow the new and the old testament and they have some of the views I have, i though follow god not people and if god wants me to cover then i have to do it. i just think the watchtower has a little too much power if people cant ask questions without getting disfellowshipped or are just to scared to ask questions. it says in the bible to ask questions that how someone learns.

head coverings
by loveforgod inhi there i am not a jw but i am having bible study.
i came to christianity a few months before and i was searching for the right path.
one of the things god spoke to me about and directed me in was to do away with all the vanity that was in me and now i wear the head covering and the modest dresses.

hi there I am not a JW but I am having bible study. I came to Christianity a few months before and I was searching for the right path. one of the things god spoke to me about and directed me in was to do away with all the vanity that was in me and now I wear the head covering and the modest dresses. i kind of look like a muslim or an isrealite depending on how you see me. i have changed a lot in a few short months and wearing the head covering gives me focus to concentrate on god instead of how many layers of make up i need.its an unmissable part of the bible and i wear it also to show my submissiveness to god and to jesus, while the meetings have been a good source of learning i have now asked the question of the head covering and yesterday i asked an elder because the sister teaching me didn't want to ask for me, so i asked the elder if me wearing the head covering would stop me getting baptized in the future, and the elder said basically i would have to make a choice and as time went on i would see what is the right thing to do. im taking that as yes it would, now im wondering is this the right path for me. sorry about the bad punctuation but to be fair im supprised i managed to even turn the computer on lol.
