Coolest character in the Bible--Jael.

I like how you said "character" as if Jael was just a fairytale. I point this out, because I said the same thing about King David the other day...

dude, they could be called "characters", but they're not, you're right i think we say this because we started reading about them in the bible stories book, so long ago. are kings like Julius ...

I was just talking about this the other day - I came into the truth when I was a little older, so I never read the bible story book. Now I think I should have, because the little kids in my hall k...

yea, you should read it, even after all of the society's books i've read, whenever a certain "story" is being discussed at the meeting, the pictures i rememeber are from the bible story book.

I leaved through it when I read the stories to my brothers when they were little, but I've never read it all the way through. I'd feel silly - the writing is for little kids.

You may think the writing is for little kids, but it is still using the Bible as its reference and is a tool from Jehovah to help out the younger ones, so there is no difference between reading that book and an article in a Watchtower or Awake that is targeted toward the younger ones... Shouldn't we all be like babes when it comes to learning more about the truth?

Obviously it's the same information, but it is written for little kids - that's not my thought, it's uncontroverted.

How will you be able to teach your future kids about Jehovah with this publication, if you yourself have not completed it?

Well if I have kids, I'll read it. I do the bible reading every week and that has the same info; it's not like I'm missing anything. Little kids just retain info better, especially if it's in story form. I wouldn't retain it better than a bible chapter at this age anyway.

Hey IF's can happen by mistake... I do agree though that the older you get the retention starts to diminish
