  While watching this series on leaving your religion I couldn't help but see the similarities with my own experience.

  It's a bit long (13 parts), but well worth it. I hope you all enjoy. Believers and non-believers alike.

  "The largest factor for people being involved in religion is their parents..."

  Right on!!

  If America - the Western world - were really SERIOUS about TRUE freedom, they'd establish FREEDOM OF RELIGION for CHILDREN!!!

  But the Republicans would NEVER go for it... Nor would the Muslims...

  ziddina -- great to see ya back but confused as to kiddies having freedom of religion from their parents. do you mean regulating these people. i think the majority of american children leave their parental, hand-me-down religion, for one of their choice.

  "The largest factor for people being involved in religion is their parents...." Sad, indeed.

  I just watched the last part of the video, but the book mentioned, "Leaving the Fold" by Marlene Winell is great! They had it at my library, and it has been helpful so far at processing my JW upbringing and starting to heal. It's amazing to see the similarites of JWs with other Christian fundamentalists, and helps you feel like you're really not alone.

  Thank you for posting!

  Glad you enjoyed it ND. That book "Leaving The Fold" sounds interesting. Might need to look that up.

  Thanks.
