Muslim, Rasafarian Christian, Hindu or whatever. As long as they can keep their religious views to themselves and not let them cloud their judgement. Easier said than done. I am in no way an authority on the US Government but keeping religious nuttery out of things is probably where the intentions of 1st amendment establishment clause comes from.

Day Text - Sept. 19, 2015 - Obey even if not appear practical, sound, or strategic from a human standpoint - Reminder from WT 2013 Nov.15
by Muddy Waters inday text -- saturday, september 19 - "he will certainly bring about deliverance from the assyrian."mic.
today, jehovah certainly has provided an abundance of spiritual men to shepherd his precious sheep, to strengthen his people for the future attack of the modern-day assyrian.
the most practical step that we can take to prepare for the coming attack of the assyrian is that of strengthening our faith in god and helping our brothers to do the same.

Now is the time for any who may be putting their trust in secular education, material things, or human institutions to adjust their thinking. w13 11/15 3:16, 17
This tripe just keeps on going. Understandable speech, literacy, possession of material things beneficial to our survival and human institutions are all the result of secular education. So lets adjust our thinking and have none of them see how that goes!

Do you feel embarrsed?
by The Rebel inwhen you look through a keyhole, and see the person you once were?.
as for myself, i am just pleased i have mended my ways.
i realise ( now) my time as a witness was a keyhole that looked in to the ground, and licked the elders arse.

eyeused2badub:I think that all of us raised as dubs were embarrassed at one time of another because of our bizarre beliefs. I sure was. It was part of our jw culture. Being 'different' was to be worn as a badge of courage in jw-land.
Ditto exactly for me. If I had felt even a hint that the Dubs bizarre beliefs were true, all of the ridicule and condescension endured by me as a child would have been worth it and I would never have left. it's like being in prison.

After the yellow star,
by The Rebel ini am the new vermin.. of course by disfellowshipping myself i don't need put a yellow star on my jacket.
but i am identifying myself to be looked at and resented like people did with the jews.. yes i am overdramatising my possible misfortune.
i will still be allowed on the buses, to visit the zoo, and such places that were deprived the sight of jewish families.

Prologos:I distinctly remember the day (in 1938 I believe) when the yellow star appeared in our street. I was told to not show the courtesy of opening the door for the good people that now wore that marker. the two intertwined triangles. So I am with you in those feelings. I have been there.
I am not old enough to have memories of things like that. I do feel fortunate though to be part of your overlapping generation as you no doubt must feel fortunate to be part of the WW1 overlapping generation.

Welcome. You are among friends who can sympathize with the mental tug of war going on in your head. Many here have been through it themselves. -

Does anyone pray and if so to who?

Do I prey? No, I wouldn't know who to pray to and for what purpose. The closest I come are little thought experiments that I have but the conversations in my mentally diseased mind .are always with myself. -

Elusive happiness teaches a hidden truth!
by iconoclastic inmany seek happiness externally and many a time assign others the possession of their happiness.
when they derive a sort of happiness from external sources, they dont feel satisfied, hence jump to the next and then to the next .... in contrast, jesus said gods kingdom (or real happiness) is within (entos) you.
this cannot be misinterpreted as jesus being the king of the kingdom was amidst them as jws do.

VillageIdiot: He wouldn't last a minute on a JW website. Only here would he be put up with.
You are probably right village, I don't know because I have never attempted to post anything on a JW website. I don't mind hearing things from other posters that I disagree with, If reading what I feel are laughable and futile attempts at cult recruitment on here are the price we have to pay to keep an open mind then so be it.
