  Is it POOR PARENTING to raise a child into a religious faith?

  by nicolaou in

  1. social
  2. family

  or, by the same token, to raise a child to be atheist?

  surely we should teach our children how to think, not what to think.

  equip them with the mental tools they need to be able to work things out for themselves.

  Isn't bringing up children with religion the same as bringing them up with ancient ignorance,

  deluding their personal advance intellectually, and therefore damaging humanity as a result.

  what religion are you now?

  by 4digitcode in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm sure this has been asked a million times before but since leaving the witnesses what religion (or lack thereof) have you chosen for yourself?

  and what is it about that religion that attracted you?

  since leaving the witnesses i think i no longer believe in god, not out of anger, actually i think i like the idea of him more since i don't believe in him anymore.

  there is so much pain caused everyday by the wtc and from people being trapped in abusive relationships, as well as children being abused and neglected.

  what has helped you heal in your path to rediscovery in life?

  have you healed or are you just beginning?

  Pulling out that ring in my nose that the WTS. had place and kept an open mind, I'll admit I banged into a few walls in this process, but I eventually came out ok

  The thought control that was in place by the WTS. was also removed which lead to thinking for my self in a concisely mature way.

  Now I'm very happy living in the truth

  You might say Christianity is a big bang, some people hear it and some don't

  I think it's better for humanity to live within reality and deal with those realities as they present themselves, rather than to seek answers from ancient ignorance

  I wonder if humanism could be turned into a prominent religion in are modern world .

  Isn't modern religion just ancient ignorance after all

  Did you have "a personal relationship to Jehovah"?

  by Awakened07 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  remember how it was always stressed how important it was to "have a personal relationship to jehovah"?

  that those who got disfellowshipped or disassociated themselves because of what members of the org.

  had said or done, or failed doctrine etc., wouldn't have done so "if they only had had a close, personal relationship to jehovah"?

  Thanks Marmot that brought back old memories, yes that was the summer of the international conventions of 1969

  After that convention and the books introduced that summer, I think one could have been the " Babylon the Great " book

  that really heated up the end was near policy leading up to 1975

  a year or so after 1975 the JWS had the biggest drop of it's followers in its history

  but they did sell a whole whack of books in that era.
