for me it’s freedom!

you are not bound by an organization’s man made rules and whims.

you don’t have to account to mere men for approval.

Enjoyed the Memorial
by ScottyRex in

probably not a popular opinion on here....and haven't been actively attending meetings since 1988....(i know i know a submarine attender) however thoroughly enjoyed attending this evening...was good to see lots of people i remember whilst growing up in this faith, they were genuine and the whole atmosphere was one of love.

sure if i suddenly wanted to become active again and didn't change my lifestyle they would drop me like a bomb.....however i haven't and won't and they didn't and don't.

this works for me.. i cannot demonize the witnesses on what i have seen tonight.

Would You Be Angry If You Were Maligned and Lied About Unfairly?

people can’t understand why people like trump and cavanaugh literally get angry and upset over accusations that can ruin their lives.

if i was falsely accused by a mob of something, i would be defending myself vigorously!

i think it’s ridiculous when people criticize others for not just taking it.

Is it OK to teach your children that Homosexuality is wrong?
by Thomasdam in
1. social
2. family
i know a few family's who have left the cult but send their kids to a religious school because of the public schools teaching many times that homosexuality is ok. the bible is clear that its a sin.

there is no just love each other and its all ok. i don't believe in the bible or any religion.

i have a niece who came out as gay and i told her i don't care.

as the clock ticks down, i just wish our politicians would get on with it.

i think teresa may has had a bitch of a job in the last couple of years and wish her well.

as a once labour supporter i could not under any circumstance support them again under jeremy corbyn and diane abbot.. i voted out, and do still have hope that the uk will prosper free of europe.

Leaving Neverland the Micheal Jackson documentary
by Finkelstein in

leaving neverland the micheal jackson documentary was just released and i must say watching it myself left me pretty disgusted but not necessarily surprised.. being that there is two accounts given by two separate boys, men now, leaves the impression that their stories are truthful and factual.. what one can take from this story is that mj was a megalomaniac that thought he had the power, money and personal stature to get away with just about anything he wanted, this included pedophilia with boys.

i wonder if the over oppression restrictive nature of being brought up a child in the jws religion had an effect to his loose out of control behavior of a super rich celebrity ?.

his celebrity status and wealth really came to him when he was a pubescent young boy/teen, money in such a huge amount made anything he wanted or could afford possible.. personally i think he was inherently gay and had pursued arranged marriages to protect his perceived public image, a pretentious act which was mostly devised as a money and business endeavor .
