any experiences with children watching the tsunami coverage?
by candidlynuts ini'm a terrible person.. i havent had small kids around for awhile and the other day a couple of kids were over , 6 and 5 yrs old and the grown ups were watching the tsunami coverage on bbc.

by kwintestal inimo, jw's go door-to-door for two reasons.. 1. that's what you have to do to gain salvation as per wts (selfish).
2. to genuinely help others (unselfish).
