  Are people born hamsexual?

  by SixofNine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are people born with a desire to be with the other white meat?

  why would a person choose that path when it leads to criticism, hatred, alienation, high cholesterol etc.

  why wouldn't they just be normal if they could.

  Page 26 of the survey.

  S

  ome groups such as Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses appear to attract a large number

  of converts (“in-switchers”), but also nearly as large a number of apostates (“outswitchers”).

  It is also interesting to note that Buddhists also fall into this category of what

  one might call high-turnover religious groups.

  It is 47 or so pages long, so I didn't embed it.

  On page 13 the JWs are listed and it shows decrease from 1990.

  I don't know how acurate the methodology of this study was, wish I could borrow Leolaia's brain.

  I thought it was interesting to note what religions are decreasing compared to increaseing.

  after practically a lifetime of searching for god, is it my fault that he didn't show?

  i have always tended to get to the bottom of things.

  my goal has mostly been to understand the whys and hows.

  Just bookmarking.

  The discussion sent me on a little search tangent through the web and led me to a survey of people's self identified religious beliefs (U.S.)

  I don't want to hyjack your conversation, so I posted it here:

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/153129/1.ashx

  I'm kinda having a bad brain day, but this thread got me to thinking about where/how different ideas mesh, and I was thinking on where Deism Taoism and the various aforementuoned P-theisms junction.

  Happy Birthday A&W.

  Yes, having chef friends is grand, so is having massage therapists for friends.

  And I also agree that without these...

  Then my gay friends flashed me. So I saw penises on my birthday.

  ...its just not a birthday.

  this is just a post to see if anyone else feels how i do.

  have any of you ever in response to a situation you didnt' feel you could control just feel like packing a bag and taking off without telling anyone where you are going and starting over completely fresh and away from your past?

  it is so tempting.

  I think that that's an illusion, albeit a pleasant one. So you feel trapped, and that is not good for anybody's mental or physical health. Would it be possible for you to take a few days off and get away, go to the mountains or stay in a B&B? You need to give yourself enough space to decompress a little, and then turn around and activly figure out how to fix your life, and what you can fix about it.

  I've felt trapped before too, and it really wers you down. It is also difficult to make any changes in an environment where you feel trapped. but if you can, start with the small changes first, and let them build.

  Good luck.
