I am actively not a christian. I am not an athiest...that means no god, but agnostic, no organized religion. and yes, thats not a passive choice.

Jackie, you mentioned that you are not Christian. Do you just not openly worship Christ, or are you actually atheist? Either way it's OK with me. I'm just curious as to how much impact may have had on you.

We've discussed why we are not Christians many times. We've also met other cult members here and there. You're right, Pru, she doesnt even have to discuss it. But I do. With the boy's mother. Probably thinks sh'e saving the grasshopper. Sheesh, right outa the woodwork.

Your daughter may have asked about the JW religion, and that was the woman's way of answering her questions...?<br />
In keeping with your teachings, I would read the book and discuss it with her in a non-confrontational way. Becoming angry is a sure way to have her become defensive about it.<br />
That said, in keeping with the way I raised my children, I would do the same and tell her why I don't agree with their theology and methods. I would give her a non-Watchtower Bible and a book of similar type…

That's alot intrusive MS. There are way too many religious fanatacs in the world, from Athiests to Zionists. There always will be. Explain to your daughter that there are many different beliefs, she can decide on her own some day and there's no rush. Buy her this book "10 stupid things girls do to mess up their lives" by Dr. Laura Slessinger.

That would be cruel and unusual punishment Bubba. I have no use for them either, but I would never expose them to my nakedness. Damn you, I'm still trying to get that image out of my mind.

I have had bad experiences with Jehova Witness'es. Won't go into the details here, just that they caused my wife lots of grief. I have chased them off my porch many times. I think the whole local congregation finally got the message because I haven't had them knock on the door for a couple years. I have told my wife, IF they come back again, I am going to answer the door and invite them in for a chat. But I am answering that door stark naked!

Intrusive, yes.<br />
<br />
But, at age 15 I would think your daughter is old enough to start learning about different religions. It doesn't mean that she has to become one of them. I would just make sure that you are there to talk to her.<br />

My family had our home church which we attended, but my parents always let us attend the different churches/temples/synagogues of our friends. It was always interesting to me to see the differences in what people believed and how they worshiped. What was even more…

My family had our home church which we attended, but my parents always let us attend the different churches/temples/synagogues of our friends. It was always interesting to me to see the differences in what people believed and how they worshiped. What was even more interesting was the discovery that despite all the differences, there were quite a few basic similarities in most of them.
