I was sitting here thinking: Am I making fun of my children's religion? Am I being disrespectful to Witnesses? I was raised to be accepting of other people's religious choices. Why am I so opposed against this religion? So, I need everyone to help set me straight. I want to start a list of rights that you give up after becoming a Jehovah's Witness. Maybe, it will help me and others to see why we are so opposed to this religion.
Rights that you give up after you become a Witness
- The right to vote.
- The right to independent thinking.
- The right to love your loved ones if they leave the Jehovah's Witnesses.
- The right to have sex with your wife however you believe to.
- The right to go to a non-Witness relative or friend's funeral.
- The right to wear whatever clothing style that you like.
- The right to wear a beard (male or female) .
- The right to stay in bed all day on a Saturday or Sunday morning.
- The right to receive a higher education (depending on JW location and elders).
Ok, everyone help me out here.
