According to Jehovah's Witnesses, all religious organizations on earth are false, interpreted to be from "Babylon the Great" of Revelation chapter 17, the supposed empire of false religion, which Satan the Devil is the leader of. Only Jehovah's Witnesses have the absolute doctrinal truth. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, with the small group of men, the governing body, are interpreted to be part of the "faithful and discreet slave class", the only people on the planet earth being used by God, as his sole channel of communication.

"The value of training children from an early age can be seen in an example from Venezuela. It involves a young married couple, Felix and Mayerlin. They are pioneer ministers. When their son Felito was born, they were eager to do their utmost in raising him as a true worshiper of Jehovah. Mayerlin began reading aloud to Felito from My Book of Bible Stories, published by Jehovah's Witnesses. At an early age, Felito seemed to recognize Moses and other people depicted in this book."

While still quite young, Felito began witnessing on his own. He fulfilled his desire to be a Kingdom publisher, and later he was baptized. In time, Felito became a regular pioneer. His parents comment: "As we watch our son's progress, we realize that we owe it to Jehovah and his instruction. (his slave class, the Watchtower Society)"

" . . . How thankful we are that Jehovah has provided abundantly for the instruction and spiritual development of families! Do you take full advantage of all the provisions made through the faithful and discreet slave class?"

"Scriptural goals likewise contribute to a spiritually strong family, and parents should help their children establish these. Appropriate goals include reading the Bible daily, becoming a regular publishers of the good news and progressing to dedication and baptism. Other goals may include full-time service as a pioneer, at Bethel, or as a missionary. While in elementary school, a Japanese girl named Ayumi made it her goal to witness to everyone in her class. To arouse the interest of her teacher and classmates, she obtained permission to place several Bible publications in the library. As a result, 13 Bible studies were arranged for during her six years in elementary school One of those Bible students and others in the student's family became baptized Christians (Jehovah's Witnesses)."

"Also necessary for strong spiritual health is regular meeting attendance. The apostle Paul admonished fellow believers 'not to forsake the gathering of themselves together, as some had the custom.' Let that not become our custom, for young and old alike benefit greatly from regular presence at Christian meetings (at the Kingdom Hall). Children should be taught to listen attentively. Preparation for meetings is vital too, for the greatest benefit comes from having an active part by commenting. While a young child may start by saying a couple of words or reading a a small portion of a paragraph, it will be most beneficial if children are trained to search out answers and to phrase them in their own words. Do you parents set the example by making regular, meaningful comments yourselves? It is also good for each member of the family to have a Bible, a songbook, and a copy of the publication being used for the Scriptural discussion."

"Wise parents will direct the youthful energy of their children toward serving Jehovah, helping them to make preaching an important part of their lives. Only by working with their children in the ministry (preaching door to door), can parents make sure that their young ones will get the training needed to become ministers "with nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of the truth aright." So, then, what about you? If you are a parent, do you help your children to prepare for field service? (Door to Door preaching) Doing this will help to make the ministry joyful, meaningful, and productive for them."

"Why is it beneficial for parents and their children to work together in the ministry? (Door to Door preaching) In this way, children can note and copy the good example of their parents. At the same time, parents can observe the attitude, deportment and ability of their children. Make sure to take your children with you in various features of the ministry. If possible, let each child have his own witnessing case, and teach him or her to keep it n eat and presentable. By consistent training and encouragement, true appreciation for the ministry will be built up, and children will se the preaching work as a means of showing love for God and neighbor."

"Maintaining spirituality of the family is essential. One means of doing this is to discuss spiritual things with your family at every opportunity. Do you discuss the

day's Bible text with them? Is it your custom to share field service experiences or points from the latest Watchtower and Awake magazines "when you walk on the road"? Do you remember to thank Jehovah in prayer for each day of life and for his bountiful provisions "when you lie down and when you get up"? When your children see love for God reflected in everything you do, this will help them to make the truth their own."

"At times, children will need guidance to deal successfully with problems or situations that arise. Rather than always telling them what to do, why not show them how to find God's viewpoint on matters by encouraging them to do research on their own? (Using Watchtower Publications) Teaching children to make good use of all the tools and publications provided through the 'faithful slave' will help them to develop a close relationship with Jehovah. And when they share the benefits of their Bible research with other members of the household, the spirituality of the family is further enhanced."

"What about single-parent families? These face additional challenges when it comes to rearing children. But single parents, do not lose heart! Success is possible, as shown by the many single parents who have trusted in God, have obediently applied his counsel, and have raised fine, spiritually strong children. Of course, Christians who are single parents need to rely fully on Jehovah. They must have faith that he will provide help."

"Wise parents realize that 'there is a time to laugh and a time to skip about.' Essential to building a child's mind and body are leisure time and balanced, wholesome recreation. Upbuilding music and especially singing songs of praise to God will help a child to develop a healthy attitude that can play an important role in strengthening his relationship with Jehovah. Youth is also the time to prepare to be a God-fearing adult, so that enjoyment of life can continue forever on a paradise earth."

"Jehovah wants all Christian families to succeed as strong spiritual units. If we truly love God and do our best to obey his Word, he will bless our efforts and will supply us with the strength needed to follow his inspired direction. Remember that the opportunity you now have to reach and train your children is limited and will not be repeated. Do your very best to apply the counsel of God's Word, and Jehovah will bless your efforts to build a spiritually strong family."

In addition to teaching children the unique doctrinal interpretations of the Watchtower Society, children are taught that all other religious teachings are from Satan the Devil.
