  incidence of certain syndromes or diseases?

  by kgfreeperson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have seen the study on an unusual percentage of schizophrenia cases coming to emergency rooms being jehovahs witnesses, but i wonder if there have been other studies on what diseases/syndromes jehovahs witnesses tend to have.

  i'm noticing, for example, a lot of fibromyalgia and depression, but i wonder if anyone has actually studied if the incidence is actually higher among jws than in the general population.

  The Loss of Innocence.....and Recovering

  by Frannie Banannie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in mulling over the almost 6 decades of my life, almost two decades of which were spent being enamored of just one more false religion, then spending the following decade discovering all of its deceptions, i feel a tremendous loss of innocence.

  as though i were a victim of sexual assault, i don?t now believe that i will ever recover an ability to believe or trust in anyone where religion or blind faith in anything is concerned again in this lifetime.

  because, to me......that?s what faith is.....blindness.

  For Those Of you Who Still Believe That the Bible Is A Rational Work

  by Joe Bloggs in

  for those of you who still believe that the bible is a rational work.

  just reading the bible as well as other religion's epic writings shows how fantasy, that is converted to myth, and mistaken as history, has done that perfectly.

  the lack of knowledge of science, physics, and human nature shows the stories to be of pure myth time and time again.

  WHAT IF WE DIDN'T POISON CHILDREN'S MINDS WITH FANTASY?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  every baby born seems to have a giant helping of fairy stories, talking animals, outrageous exaggerations parading as "fact" and an endless stream of cartoons, science fiction and make-believe.

  the laws of nature and physics are violated every few seconds in film and tv!

  is it surprising that children are not only ignorant of how things really work-but, they don't have patience and an appetite for fact when they get to the schoolroom.
