  i stopped to visit a sister at the hospital yesterday.

  (i'm a guy) her husband is having a health crisis of his own and i figured that if he got to the hospital to sit with her, he was doing miserably.

  what i heard was that she had had a stroke and these people would really be up against the wall if she got "shut down,".

  The truly polite thing we'd be to say: " Sorry Sir, " and stay out till she covered herself...

  is it possible to raise good kids with out religious morals?

  by Princess Ashe in

  2. experiences

  making up my mind on how to teach my son values in life seems to be an on going struggle of what is right and wrong.

  being raised in a sheltered jw life until after leaving high school seems like going from one extreme to another of being over restrictive or under.

  trying to find that balance.

  Don't JWs and other Christians ever wonder how the heathen nations worked out that murder, stealing, lying, adultery, assault and envy are wrong, thousands of years before Moses climbed Mt Sinai?

  Presumably it was their non-existent gods that told them? Why didn't the dick end choppers work it out for themselves, like everybody else?

  are there any statistics to show that proportionally the jw's are growing at a greater rate outside of western countries and, in particular, the african continent?.

  if so, anybody's guess ?.....

  1] by what year would the organization be predominantly african in membership?.

  You can ALWAYS raise good kids as long as they are not mentally sick.

  The gods you believe in are not the crucial factor. Chinese believed in the Jade Emperor. You name them , somebody believed in them, and a stable society results...

  Jdubs say that without belief in a " god" - that is THEIR God life is no more meaningful than that of a squirrel

  So what about all the other moral systems that believe in other gods... They produce fine upstanding individuals, without the slaughter of Joshua or Judges.

  Morality is a product of human evolution. It enabled us to work together and survive.

  The god of the Bible resembles a primitive King. The same egotistical homicidal rants we read in the records of non-Jewish nations.

  So : YES

  China does not seem interested in controlling and influencing the world other than countries directly around it's borders . If it does become the leading world power it will be more by default as other countries decline economically.

  There are also more Chinese than anybody else.
