  i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.

  i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.

  i do not condone any crime.

  I have tried other religions. Buddhism, baptist, deism, atheism, etc

  Atheism is not a religion, there is no doctrine, no set of rules, no beliefs, it is simply the absence of religion, and not a claim of no god but the disbelief in one.

  Since you were "trying out religions" I would take atheism out of there, because you don't really try it out then convert to something else. You were searching for religion in a void, I don't think it counts.

  LovesJehovah with all do respect you picked an odd place to talk about loving jehovah.

  If you walked into a bar mitzvah and tried to strike up a conversation about how swell Hitler was, you might not get the warmest welcome. Granted there are theists and what not here, but not a lot of fans of the big J

  I love jehovah... and batman, and han solo, and you get the point,

  lovesdesertgod you sound like a really interesting person, I recommend emancipating yourself from ideas that are currently suppressing your true self and life. If you spend the time you will learn the bible is crock, Jehovah does not exist and Jehovah's witnesses are in fact a cult.

  There is so much to love in this life it should not be squandered and wasted on things that just don't exist.

  Quran 4:34...

  Sahih International: Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.

  Pickthall: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

  Yusuf Ali: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).

  Shakir: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

  Muhammad Sarwar: Men are the protectors of women because of the greater preference that God has given to some of them and because they financially support them. Among virtuous women are those who are steadfast in prayer and dependable in keeping the secrets that God has protected. Admonish women who disobey (God's laws), do not sleep with them and beat them. If they obey (the laws of God), do not try to find fault in them. God is High and Supreme.

  Mohsin Khan: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allah orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill­conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allah is Ever Most High, Most Great.

  Arberry: Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. If they then obey you, look not for any way against them; God is All-high, All-great.

  Islamic religion is vulgar and despicable. Period

  TheWonderofYou

  I don't think peaceful and Islam ever belong in the sentence. Even if they are not committing atrocities they are excusing them by defending the ugly nature of the religion.

  Its says 'kills an innocent man"... the question then in how does your Quran qualify innocence??

  Quran 9:5 (the infamous verse of the sword inciting mass murder):

  "Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."

  Verse 9:5 teaches Muslims to commit mass-murder. The kafirs must either convert to Islam, who would keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate (zakat), or be murdered. Command for unconditional slaying of humans,

  Quran 5:32-33

  In order to portray Islam as a wonderful religion, Muslims will quote the verse 5:32. It mentions "spread" mischief"

  And what does the exception "spread mischief" mean? All human beings who do not convert to Islam have declared war on Islam and Allah, are a danger to Allah, and therefore have spread mischief and must be murdered. All Apostates of Islam by rejecting Islam are spread mischief in the land. Muslim women who demand equality with men are spread mischief in the land. All Muslim girls who refuse to obey their fathers by adopting Western culture are spread mischief in the land. And on and on.

  Verse 5:33 says:

  "The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after spreading mischief in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom;"

  Teachings as contained in this verse – "they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land" – are cruel and barbaric in nature.

  Its a book of disgusting ideas
