About Brenda Martin
Expertise
I have been one of Jehovah`s Witneses now for over 30 years, in those years I have brought up 4 children, teaching each of them the bible.Being one of Jehovah`s Witnesses has helped me cope with my Epilepsy and bring up a daughter with learning difficulties.I have conducted bible studies with people from nearly every denomination i.e. Muslim. Having used the bible all these years to answer peoples questions, I feel I am qualified to give any answer regarding Jehovah`s Witnesses and the bible.

Experience
My experience has been one of attending bible lectures 5 times a week,taking part in these lectures in front of an audience and being with thousands of J.W. at conventions where I have seen the bible at work in peoples lives.It is truly a miracle when you see thousands of people meeting together and not one policeman needed, and not even a piece of litter in sight.It is like another world.

Question
I have a manager at work I would very much like to give a gift. I am not sure on how do his I was wondering if it was unapproate to give a new years gift instead of a christmas gift since she does not celebrate christmas. I dont want her to feel left out since i am giving the other managers a small gift to. What should I do. Thank you for helping

Answer
HI Kelly, Thats really nice of you, first let me say, we do not celebrate "new year" either :¬). Anyway I receive gifts from people at Christmas and I just say thank you very much, I received a present from my mother in law the other day wrapped in ordinary paper, now it wouldnt have mattered if she had put Christmas paper on it, but she was thinking of me worried she would offend, so that was really nice of her.

Your manager will not feel "left out" because she would understand, but she would equally accept the gift and thank you. So dont worry either way.

all the best
Brenda
