Paganism - bane or boon?

just want to see what you people think of this question...

Boon! It is all positive living and giving back to the earth what we use of it. Giving credit where credit is obviously due: to nature and its powers. It means being our own spiritual bosses: no hell, just karma good and bad, but we have some say about that. No god or devil to blame for the mistakes that I make. I am completely 100% responsible for what I do. It is complete and total religious/philosophy of life freedom with no religious overlords. Harm none and do what you want. It's great for me!

How to Ruin a Childhood

by WTWizard in

here is one effect of our going out in field circus, that they will not tell you about.

no, not the getting persecuted.

no, not that last-call syndrome where the last call takes forever.

Doomed to go to hell??? What hell? JW parents never used that on their kids. It was always "destroyed at Armageddon," never "doomed to go to hell." That sounds Baptist because some do talk like that.

144001,

That is a good excuse/reason. We didn't have a thing to compair it to. Our common sense was formed by the WTS from birth, for a lot of us. Remember that the only association many of us had were other JW's who shaped our common sense and everything we knew. We really didn't know how the world worked since we were forbidden to go out into it and learn from it. Satan and the demons were to be morbidly feared as he was going to subtly entice us from serving Jehovah. If we let that happen, we would get an eye rotting, tongue falling out of mouth, firy, buildings collapsing on us death. We were scared of that! On top of it all, we would never see our loved ones again because we would be forever dead. Some, like myself, were raised this same way and only knew this way of raising kids. No, WTS keeps our common sense warped and under thier thumb. I knew it was uncomfortable but thought it was necessary. The only thing we can help is what we do about it now. We do know better now.

A rhetorical analysis of the Sept. KM Question Box

by Leolaia in

some have pursued an independent group study of biblical hebrew and greek so as to analyze the accuracy of the new world translation.

they have also held conferences and produced publications to present their findings and to supplement what is provided at our christian meetings and through our literature.. throughout the earth, jehovah's people are receiving ample spiritual instruction and encouragement at congregation meetings, assemblies, and conventions, as well as through the publications of jehovah's organization.

rather, the claim is implicit.
