When will people "stop" relying on "churches and religions" for happiness?

it just breaks my heart when i read some of the posts on this websites and hear all of the horror stories about people and families suffering because of what the church or religion did to them.

not just jw's or mormons, but catholics, born-agains are also included in this group.

i bet you could find just as many disgruntle ex-catholics and ex-born-agains out in the world who have been severly hurt by their church.

booker-t:

you are absolutely correct....it is up to us to make ourselves happy....

i also do not consider myself a wt basher or an apostate.....i simply a thinker....i find comfort here and healing.....it took many years to get the religion in me.....and it will take years to get it out of me.......

i was young, and so wish that i was older with more experience so that i could think for myself.....but without the organization i wouldnt be the person i am today.....i have learned many good things that i have taken along with me

thanks for your comments

One law----To love our neighbor as ourself right? then.....

by sinamongurl in

hey!!!

i know how opinionated you all are so dont kill me....just wanted to bring up an interesting thought i had.....not that this necessarily shows my beliefs, but in an effort to still try to find myself and discover the truth, it is something i have been pondering for quite some time now.....

so, if the only law we need to follow is to show love to one another.....

and yet also be a sadomasochist.)
The problem with "love thy neighbor as thyself" is exactly a linguistic one, and it is up for interpretation as much as anything else.

excellent point.....and i guess that is exactly what i have been pondering.....its so wide open that its possible we will never get the true meaning of what "love thy neighbor" truly means

for all we know, it could mean "love" thy neighbor.......my neighbors not that hot though....lol

what is the definition of a christian?

by sinamongurl in

what does christian mean anyway?

doesnt it mean a follower of christ.....a man?

arent "we" supposed to be followers of god and not man?

sinamongurl

That seems a bit contradictory. Is he dead or is he alive in heaven? If he's alive then why can't you pray to him just as you would to God? It really doesn't seem that difficult. Sure it might be a leap of faith, to some, but the concept isn't complex...

little toe: yes, i am confused......i guess i am not expressing myself to clearly.....i guess i really want to know is why are jws called christian when they really claim to worship god and not jesus.....and since jesus is not really jesus, but michael.....then jesus isnt really the mediator is he? so what is a god worshipper called, a theist?

For example, JWs believe they are showing "love" when they shun us. I doubt that any of us would agree on that point.

good point scully.....

So, if the only law we need to follow is to show love to one another..... Doesnt that make all the other little "rules" void? or not necessarily void but "love" encompasses so many things that it would inevitably encompass some of these like, say the 10 commandments....(not saying that 10 commandments are little, just an example)....just saying that if u r showing love at all times u r not going to be jealous, full of rage, hating, etc, etc..... As long as a person is not hurting someone else, then it wouldnt matter if someone is gay, or has many sexual partners, so on and so on..... Ok, now, so be gentle..... Sin
