Early Experiences

I was around 6 years old when my father was baptized as a Jehovah's witness, he use to study with my sister and I once a week, we would open in prayer each of us taking a turn saying the prayer. we were read and taught from the my book of bible stories and at first I loved all the stories and pictures. like that of Jonah, Abraham, and all the other godly men in the bible. we would look up some of the scriptures cited and learn how to find our way through the bible. afterward we would spend time with my dad and goof around and play. it was a lot of fun, as we got closer to the end of the book it changed this is when Armageddon is brought up and I remember all these graphic scary pictures and how Jehovah was going to kill all the bad people in the world. these are the pictures I remember vividly.....

does this look like something a child should be exposed to? I remember asking how come some of the people who are being destroyed don't look bad? I was told because they where not god's people a.k.a Jehovah's Witnesses. At this time i never directly asked but wondered what about my family? they weren't Jehovah's witnesses mind you I was 5 years old worrying about if my family was going to die tomorrow or whenever Armageddon came. I had nightmares about seeing my family being killed, and would worry about whether or not I would be killed or saved. This was a lot of stress to put on a child and believe me it out weighed the hope of a paradise earth where i would live forever and be able to play with tigers and swim with sharks. So that was my first taste of Religion.
