Nicest thing your dad ever did for you?

When I was a kid, my mother went thru this crazy phase where she became a Jehovah's Witness, she told us we wouldn't be celebrating Christmas because it's contrary to their belief. Dad said, " You can believe any of that ridiculous crap if you want to, but my boys WILL have their Christmas. He spent an entire weekend decorating the outside of our house much to my mothers chagrin. It was the most beautiful Christmas EVER. A week or so later she was kicked out of the congregation but never said a word.

Parents, please don't impose your religious beliefs on children, it's just so wrong. Let them find their own way right or wrong, they have that right to decide.

Ive been a Christian for 17 years read my bible multiple times, and decided to do a bible study with the Jehovahs witnesses only because they would come to my house. But I dont agree with their perspective of the bible at all! I have kindly shared my kids wisdom from the bible, teaching them right from wrong, and about love and forgiveness.....all of my boys are believers but dont go to church, my daughter is agnostic and I respect that. I believe that the Jehovahs witnesses have only a fraction of the truth.....but I would reccomend to any of my children to read the bible for themselves......out of love not forced.
@schizosaint You're very wise. I myself taught bible study for several decades but became an atheist for reasons I won't go into. Your kids are lucky to have you as a mom.😁

@Coyotedave611 I was an agnostic who became a Christian because God caused me to believe.....I appreciate your kind words.

Shortly before he died, my father told me, "You grew up to be fine man."
@Byron8by7 Sad but beautiful. I'm sure he remains proud of you.

Where to start. My father was the most kind, loving man ever and he was strict as well but he dished out discipline with love. He led his life as an example. When he died there was standing room only and there must have been 100 or more outside. He truly was a great man.
@katielass Thank you for sharing a beautiful story.

Mine bought me this, granted I still need to pick up but I really think it was guilt for not being there. I didn't meet him until nine years ago and I recently turned 41

Nicest thing my dad ever did was drag my lazy ass out of bed and tell me to get a job.
I'm terribly sorry.💔

Indoctrinating children with religion is tantamount to child abuse.

My dad has been very supportive my whole life, he is not perfect but I can't think of a much better person. Not sure there is one memory do tie down to
