I prefer JWs to Islamic Fundamentalists. They are bascally a pacifist religion and I applaud that.
I hate the fact that lives are lost due to silly rules - no blood - no party card Malawi etc.

The worst aspect of the"truth" is the way it destroys families. Shunning and failure to celebrate
holidays accomplish this. It's repellent.

AGREED - one of the worst aspects. The worst to me is still unnecessary loss of life - blood, Malawi, WW2 no Heil Hitler.
I'm no longer a Witness so their religion is no different to me than any other Christian religion today. They all have their good and bad, strengths and weaknesses, truths and lies, hypocrites and sincere ones, loving acts as well as treacherous ones, angels and demons in the form ministers and elders and priests.
Not too different from the 1st century actually.
religion is dangerous, all of it. Maybe some are less dangerous than others, but they are all patriarchal and controlling and would kill people if they could. Muslims have a particularly nasty death cult, but Christians and Jews would do it too if they thought they could get away with it. If I had to be in a religion (and thank goodness I don't) I think I'd be an episcopalian. they don't seem to be very controlling or judgemental. Of course, who knows - I don't have that much of an acquaintance with them.
Hey NVR, I like the new avatar.
What's so wrong?
Telling my wife what she CAN'T do to me in the bedroom!
Now that's just EVIL!!! LOL
All religion is a snare and a racket. The more controlling and fundamentalist the bigger the snare and racket.
The way they have commercially marketed and exploited Christianity to procure their own power and money, but then again trying to live off social devised laws that were created
2 thousand years ago might not be a viable and healthy thing to do anyways

I thought of you when I saw her poppers!
