  Questions for those that believe in Electricity

  you can't see electricity or hear it or feel it.

  well, there are sparks and lightning bolts and heating elements and the light and heat of filaments.

  and somehow, it lights up neon in a tube.

  Why would a Swingers Club Want to Become a Religion?

  by cha ching in

  " a nashville swingers club has undergone a conversion it now says that it is a church in order to win city approval, so that it can open next to a christian school.

  " (associated press).

  the article explains, "a church is something that cannot be defined under the u.s. constitution"..... wt lawyers explain to the court all of the time; 'you can't interfere with our internal church policies, or you will be infringing on our first amendment rights.

  Dangerous "Pent up" feelings inside of most witnesses?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  i have often wondered if there is more harm done to people who are stifled or smothered from expressing their natural conduct, feelings or actions because of it being condemned by religious ideals?.

  so if a person keeps suppressing their real personality and tries to mould themselves to the "perfect" or "ideal" version as expected from those controlling them, could they eventually "bust" so to speak?.

  for instance, witnesses condemn many forms of entertainment.

  Xanthippe said: Sorry you've lost me Heaven?

  My apologies Xanthippe... I had to comment on the statement from your psychologist. I have always wondered about that ... all the repressive sexual rules and their effects.
  

  The remainder of my post was not related to your post. Brain is getting fried from work. ;0)

  Xanthippe said: The psychologist my husband and I went to see after leaving the WTS listened to our description of the rules and regulations regarding sexuality even within marriage that JW are subjected to and he said that kind of repression often leads to child abuse. This was twenty-six years ago and we said no there is no evidence of that!

  Holy sh!t!.

  In my experience with my JW family members and friends of my parents, there is this smiling veneer thinly veiling sadness, guilt, fear, self-righteousness, and anger. There is nothing positive about any of those emotions. Beating oneself up over a self-imposed belief system based on mythology is not reasonable or logical. You cannot expect positive outcomes from something like this.
