Hi Prettygurl,

Thanks for asking!! Jehovah is God's personal name and we are His witnesses in that we witness (give evidence) about His Word and purpose for mankind. For us, it means regularly meeting together (to worship, increase our spiritual knowledge and associate with each other), sharing the good news with our neighbours and living our lives according to Bible standards. We are all imperfect, however and don't always make the grade but we love Jehovah and each other like a big family and continue to strive for Bible truth.
I was baptised in 2002 - I was brought up Anglican, and made a lot of changes in my life which concerned my family at first -no birthdays, Christmas, no blood being the main ones. Since then they have been able to see that it's not "all or nothing" and there are very positive alternatives to what we had known before. I now have 2 girls and we have "family days" throughout the year (plus various kid's party -just because), we celebrate wedding anniversaries and there are many alternative (and better for you) options to a blood transfusion. So this has helped to put their minds at ease.
Once again, thanks for asking As they progress with their study, you may find they want to do things differently than what you're used to and while they're adjusting it may be "all or nothing", but together you too can find alternatives.
Feel free to ask any more questions, as Chloe said you could also visit our website. But I appreciate sometimes it's easier to have someone answer than just research and it's nice to feel "anonymous", so there's no pressure
Hope this helps
Caroline
