Simon: There is no feeling other than the feeling it's been programmed to imitate.
You just described some 'humans' I have ran into.

I agree with you, Little_Socrates. Scent can have dire consequences for some people.
I realize that people are defensive about ensuring that their personal boundaries extend far beyond their bodily space with their fragrance, but...it can be rude to wear fragrance in some environments.
And no, I don't think it is the responsibility of homeowners to have signs plastered on their doors warning people that someone inside that personal space may have issues with some scents. People are entitled to their privacy about such matters. It isn't the public's business. But, it is the business of people who make it their profession to go door to door to exhibit a sensitive attitude to whoever may be behind the doors they knock on.
And that is where the JWs are rude. They aren't just going to the grocery store and wandering around. They are deliberately and knowingly entering into other people's personal spaces.
It is a no brainer. Don't wear scent when you are going door to door. Simple.

JeffT: Funny. I was only in from 1973 to 1988, but I seem to remember being told that such things showed a like of faith that Jehovah would take care of his people.
Yes, I remember that. I left in '71 but I remember my mom and dad being mocking of those who built bomb shelters and such in the post WW2 years. The JWs of that time were of the mind that "Jehovah would save them" and that they wouldn't need such foolishness.
Ha! Little did they know that Judge Rutherford's Beth Sarim had an elaborate bomb shelter. He didn't trust Jehovah to miraculously save him either. I wonder where the GB's bomb shelter is now that Beth Sarim is long gone.

GreatTeacher: Thanks, Lisa Rose. I believe it. I guess I need to review what codependency is. Is it a need to be associated with something because it provides some benefits that meet their needs even though there are negative consequences?
Sorry, don't mean to butt in here...LisaRose's post is excellent.
Just wanted to add that the negative consequences are what reinforce the misguided beliefs. The more negative the consequences (persectution and blood sacrifice), the more the adherent pereceives that they are right and everybody else is wrong.

Sorry, I was making my assessment based on the culture that the "digs" are located within.
The missionary digs do not come from the same cultural surroundings.

Islam is the Epitome of Misogyny
by cofty inin this video the popular saudi cleric sheik yahya al-jana discusses the joys of paradise, saying that men will have the strength of a hundred men in paradise and will be busy tearing hymens, while the virgins of paradise, whose breasts are like pomegranates, become virgins every time again.. the cleric also explains it is mostly men who enter paradise noting that women in general are bad because they refuse to wear the veil, they wear tight clothes in shopping malls, put on perfume and jewelry, and use filthy social media platforms.
source.... this is what young men from conservative muslim families are raised on.
is it any wonder islamic countries treat women appallingly?.

LoveUni: I noticed he made some good jokes at the expense of Arabs and Arabic culture ... didn't hurt, did it
But he did NOT make jokes at the expense of Islam, did he?
Well done, you kind of made SSC's point for himThat is true. Peters rarely takes shots at religion - his comedy is race directed. The majority of the Arab race is Islamic. So, I guess I was racial profiling by posting that clip...

NotNew: Most of the bashing comments between male-female, male-male, and female-female appear to be low self-esteem that reflects a person's overall subjective emotional evaluation of his or her own worth. It is a judgment of oneself as well as an attitude toward the self.
Blame the victim. Of course, that will make everything okey dokey.
Ah...the explanations and excuses abound.

SSC: All you have to do is look at the religious material of stand up comics - by far most of them see it as open season on Christianity but don't come near the subject of Islam.
