It's not lying - it's magical!
When they find out it's not true they'll be old enough to understand a fairytale and you can be sure they'll share the magic with their kids.
They should definitely be told that the tooth fairy is a wicked lie though because it costs you a fortune LOL

Santa & Kids - To Lie or Not To Lie?
by sweet pea inthis will be our second christmas since leaving the wts but we will be away in nz with besty's extended family so probably won't bother much with trees and decorations but the santa issue is playing on my mind, especially now podlet no.
1 is at preschool.. do we bring the children up to believe in santa & co with all the magic, mystery and excitement associated with the fairytale or do we tell him right away what the deal is - either route is going to feel very strange.
my gut feeling is to go along with the myth and give them those happy memories of wonder and anticipation - what do you all think?.

Only 2!
You are a saint looking after her (want a couple more - 8 and 11 . . .)
Let them take her! Rescue her and start the studies in about 5 years LOL
Seriously do you think that the privileges are linked to your babysitting?
Sorry I can't remember your position re JWs

Alternatively start giving the girl "Apostate Studies" and see how fast they whisk her off

Test the water.
Randomly stop watching the girl, especially at short notice, to cause disruption (from what you say it'll just mean they have to take her on the service - which they should anyway)and see whether their attitude to your hubby changes.
I take it the "privileges" are a big deal to him - he must be talking about it and telling you otherwise you wouldn't know he'd said the prayer! -

jesus denies being God! scriptural discussion.
by reniaa ini thought after recently reading the bible i would put up for disussion some recent scriptures up which for me show that jesus never viewed himself as god and anyone listening would also see it this way too.. first mark 10 :17-20.
17as jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him.
"good teacher," he asked, "what must i do to inherit eternal life?

Elder asks me why we quit... (Long)
by Odrade inin this thread i mentioned having a long chat with an elder last summer.
i didn't realize i had never posted the story, so here it is.. last summer (when i went to buy my new camera lens) i ran into one of my favorite jws at the photography shop.
he was buying a camera bag for his new dslr, and i saw him, went up and greeted him, hugged him.

Oh wow.
I read this the other day but didn't realise until a minute ago that it was an old thread - so I read your story but not the rest of the thread.
I'm glad that you have this in perspective.
It would be interesting to know why tho. You said that when you had this conversation he didn't know your position.
Do you know anyone who would have still been in contact with him the last 18 months who might know his situation in the last 18 months?
