Zombie Jesus is much happier if you eat the flesh of a haddock instead of a ham. It's how he knows you appreciate his sacrifice of being betrayed, tried, tortured and slowly suffocating to death with giant pieces of metal driven through his hands and feet.

9Don't tell MomMom we're having ham on Good Friday
by GrreatTeacher inmy husband went to work with a terrible sinus infection today.
he works outdoors and it rained today, so i felt really bad for him and decided to cook him a nice dinner.. the local grocery store had a promotion in the month before easter where when you shop there for 4 weeks in a row you get a free easter ham.
we got the ham, i never coded it in my head as an easter ham, just a ham which, for us, is a very nice dinner.. so, today i popped the ham in the oven as a kind of consolation prize to my husband for having to work while sick today.. i completely forgot that today is good friday.

The New System doctrine. Everyone who is rewarded with the earthly afterlife will get the privilege of burying all the adults, children, infants and pets who did not worship jehoopla, even if they didn't know they were supposed to. The remaining animals will live with us like it's a giant petting zoo. The chosen will be given dead people's mansions. They will freeze at age 25. Some zombies will return and gradually be healed of their ailments, but they will be asexual and celibate. Everyone will become Caucasian.
After 1000 years the biggest supernatural evil dude will be let loose with his minions to lay the smackdown again, to be followed by some people again sinning and being killed, and jehooplajesus vanquishing him. Lather, rinse, repeat, earth becomes cleansed again, burying jobs, etc.

by azor ini remember studying this book years ago and how it impacted my belief system.
i no longer believe the bible is god's word.

1- The Bible is not a scientific book but when it touches on science it is accurate.
omg no. Absurd Torah Science
2 -...The Bible for the first time introduces a singular monotheistic god...

Worst Memorial Talk Ever!
by The Searcher ini honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.
oh yeah????.
he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!

Indiana "Religious Freedom" (right to discriminate)
by Simon insickening to see the photo of the religious zealots all stood around the governor signing into law the right for people to discriminate against others (gay, lesbian, trans-gender) based purely on religious dogma.. if religious people want those freedoms then the can't have it both ways - they cannot complain if *they* are discriminated against.. "sorry, we don't like zionists, get out".
"oh, it's some special mass and you can't work your shift?
you're fired!"..

Does someone have a quote of Jesus supporting homosexuality? He defined marriage as between a man and a woman. He had lots of opportunity to speak against bigotry but he didn't. -

Why attack?
by newqatarjob inas someone brought up as a jw and been an elder and been disfellowshipped (twice!!!

The OP can be used interchangeably for any sort of abuse. (For the few of you who was not spiritually/physically/mentally abused by the dubs, this does not apply to you.)
As someone who has been a pedophile and imprisoned (twice!!!) I find it difficult to understand why abuse survivors have to attack the lifestyle, yes lifestyle, not crime or rape. I am no longer in the lifestyle just do not want to practice anymore. I have no malice or hatred or disgust for any human. So why the constant attacks on them? I came across this site by accident and registered just for this post really. Just be kind to people, say nice things and you will be surprised at how life treats you long term. Do I believe pedophilia is wrong? Unsure. As a man in his 50s thr older I get the less I realise I understand and it is wonderful finding out! So come on fellow humans live and let live. Allow people to be fanatical or not to give a damn! In the memorable words of Woody in Toy Story "Play nice"! Have a wonderful day, week, month, year and rest of your life.

You see it as attacking? I see it as venting.
Survivors of abuse forums probably vent and criticize their abusers highly too. I find it hard to stomach the notion that it's attacking.
Great for you that you don't find a need to vent and criticize the "religion" as you call it. Sounds like you are not nearly as scarred as some of us.
Instead of criticizing (which by your own definition is also attacking) those of us who were physically/spiritually/verbally abused, perhaps you should educate yourself first. You know, try to understand others' perspectives. :)
For example:
Besides the "selfish" reasons, speaking out has literally saved countless people from the grip of a harmful course of action.

Your mom is probably not going to die if you leave, and your life won't be completely in ruins for ever and ever. It will be one of the hardest things you've ever done, but the sun will rise tomorrow. It will be ok. Do the right thing and you will feel a sense of peace and relief.
