Wouldn't it be cool if you could make someone see your perspective?
by sweetstuff inwhat i mean by that is this..i had a recent convo with my mom who insisted we had a good upbringing as jw's, my siblings and i and how hurt she is that one sibling in particular blamed the religion during a convo for his mental health issues and addiction.
i tried to explain to her that while i don't blame everything in my life on the "religion" or how they chose to raise us in it, she doesn't get how badly it effected her kids, that she didn't get raised as one and cannot fathom the emotional baggage that comes along with marching into your first years of school as a jw.
you know what i am talking about, the isolation, teasing and sheer torture alot of us suffered due to what we could not celebrate, engage in and participate in.

A Christian we could all learn from.....
by sweetstuff ini just watched a movie about william wilberforce, who i had no prior knowledge of, great movie, amazing grace and given the large amount of debate lately on here regarding christianity versus atheisim, i thought what better example of someone who's religious beliefs drove him to make improvements for all of mankind.
i am not a christian, but i think if we all tried to more humanitarian like this man, only good could come from it .
he is someone to me, that embodies all that christanity should be, by his actions.. perhaps he would have become the same man, without christianity, perhaps not.

The most interesting movie I've seen in ages...
by sweetstuff ini just watched a movie, that although i thought might be a lemon in the beginning turned out to be one of the most interesting movies i've ever seen.
it's called a man from earth, which focuses around a 14,000 year old man divulging to his university co-workers/friends, at his goodbye party, that he is in fact, 14,000 years old.
alot of religious debate in the movie and fascinating conversation.
