Hahaa, I've been reading all the previous posts, and now I've forgotten the question!
I agree with everyone about teaching your children about your 'one true religion' - if you don't believe yours is the truth, then perhaps it's time to prove it to yourself?
As a JW, I was taught a bit about other religions, but was also encouraged to dig deeper into them. We are taught from when we're small to respect others, and not to force our beliefs on people, because Jehovah created us with free will. I was also told to really dig into my own religion, and prove it to myself. For a few years, I did look at other religions, but I always kept coming back to this one, because this is the one I know in my heart to be true.
For this reason, I would instil these beliefs in my children. I firmly believe that, even if I wasn't a JW, I would still hold the same values and behaviours, because I understand the reasoning behind them, and they have never failed before. I wantt my children to have these values, so of course I would teach them!
