But I like the bold suggestion, JKC. I say, Bring on the Jehovah talk. It sparks conversation and inquiries from the girls that causes them to dig into their own sense of spirituality. I won't sheild them from the religious views of others, but we can talk about it a lot and explore what's a good way to express spirituality; maybe a better way for us, at least.Diz Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04618954577639763316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13292807.post-75333464200743852162007-07-04T17:37:00.000-07:002007-07-04T17:37:00.000-07:00I have a friend who escaped from her Jehovah's Wit...I have a friend who escaped from her Jehovah's Witness family. Jehovah was not a good influence on them, as they created a hell on earth for her in preparation for her nominal ascent to heaven. I don't think it was merely a case of an abusive family; I think the religion provided a model and framework for her abuse.<BR/><BR/>It would be better for your kids if they weren't exposed to it at this time. When they're teenagers, they can read the Bible (or Kafka) and discover the idea of a punitive God for themselves, without the threats and bullying. (Telling a child that God is going to kill her for going to a party is simply inhuman.)Jonathan K.
