The poor and deprived life of JW children.

by Esse quam videri in

i find it hard to believe that adults on this forum make such a big deal about not celebrating birthdays, x-mas, easter, halloween, etc, etc, etc.

i grew up as a jw kid and it actually made me feel good, being different from the other kids in school.

we went to meetings.

Seven year old sing "Amazing Grace".

sing 'Amazing Grace. Now she is mind blowing.

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.

"I've heard many, many people say they're planning to attend

when it opens". It will be a full house, praise the LORD!!

Dangerous "Pent up" feelings inside of most witnesses?

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.

Lets face it, we all have a core desire to have a joyful experience of

life.

The more connected you are with yourself, the lesser your chances of

holding onto any deluded desires ( joyful life as a JW). By "staying connected

with yourself", I mean have a deep sense of the NATURAL makeup of

your brain(including its core personality), rest in your being and thus allow

the intelligence of your life-stream to touch your mind. Most deluded desires

are created through a lack of understanding of one's own true nature and

by fueling a psychological craving over wisdom.

mimimimi: yes similarities. Their figures suggest it's becoming more difficult

to find people willing to convert to Mormonism, especially in highly

developed parts of the world where people are less apt to turn to

religion for help because their basic needs are being met.
