i posed this question on another thread... namely burns and hooberus...wouldn't answer, so i thought i'd ask it again in an open thread..., .

you on the right disagree with roe v wade... so that means that you want to redefine when a zygote, embryo, or a fetus has what anyone would rule for lack of better words "the right to life"... .

exactly when is life, human as per your definition?

DJK

I agree that life begins at conception.

The decision to deal with it should be done by they who are effected by it.

I always wondered what it was like for children of other faith's. I knew of some children whose family were church goer's, went thru communion, Sunday school and some were participating in the choir against their will.

I was told many times about parent's teaching their children about Santa, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter bunny. Children believed these thing's and later they are told they are not real. Young children are impressionable, they will believe almost anything if it presented to them by someone they trust, namely a parent. So it was in the back of mind that someday I would be told the bible wasn't true. For that reason I never believed in it.

Well the truth I expected to hear never came. The point of this thread isn't about the bible, fact or fiction. It's about indoctrination. Most everyone has received their religious indoctrination at a very young age, by people we trust and we never thought they were wrong. Our parent's were our greatest indoctrinater's, our brainwashers, maybe less credit or blame should be given to the Org they followed.

I remember once my mother was so upset that I couldn't learn to recite the bible books like all the other good little witnoid kids. I guess she finally gave up thinking I was just a stupid kid, It was boring so I didn't learn anything.

I pretended not to learn very much. I was never pressured to baptise and I think it was because I didn't seem to be learning.

I was 12, my mom was a witness then, and a special pioneer at
that time studied with me....

Should I presume you were not taught the book of Genesis, how God created the earth, until you were 12?

Boredom stops the learning process.

So true. The lack of testing your knowledge made things worse. I'm forever doomed with a lack of comprehension of anything I read.

LOL. My memory doesn't go back that far, as far back as I can remember it was always meetings, field service and home studies.

I was preschool age being taught to by my father. He was a witness and we had home bible studies every week. My reading skills were above average by the time I started school because I was also being groomed for public speaking. (Sucked)
