Anyone know any good Christian forums? Thinking of joining one to give it test run and see how it goes.

WHOA!
for the record: i pretty much agree with trygon here.
This is a first. Trygon and Superfine Apostate have actually agreed on something. Therefore I feel inclined to buy Superfine Apostate a beer.
This could be the start of something big.
Oh and its nice to see that most of the peeps here want to see their children choose after knowing all the facts. It would practically be communism to restrict or discourage your child's knowledge, shun your child's belief or force your own beliefs on your child. As long and you make sure they pick a option that won't wind them up killing themselves, one should let the child decide.

Dansk, I am not proclaiming all atheists are parasites. I am simply trying to get at the point that the JWs are incompetent at successfully keeping the faith due to the fact that half their members end up leaving and large percentage of those that leave, leave Christianity all together. It means that they are failing as a attempted fraction in Christianity.

Well its the dam truth. Look at this site for example. This place has the biggest concentration of Atheists I have ever seen and the one thing most of them have in common is that they used to be JWs. I say that the quicker this parasite is removed and squashed the less damage is done to Christianity. No tears will be shed for the Watchtower parasite ether. Simply a "It was going to happen one day soon" from the pope/ a world leader/ a politician and then nothing.

Chipping with the pick axe of freedom and common sense.
And the JW is a cult/corporation that hangs off Christianity like a parasite, leaking atheists like a tap. It is not a religion and never will be.

I would show them all the isms. Both theism and atheism. I would try my best to allow them to decide from all the major belief/non-belief systems. Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Atheism, Sikhism, etc. I would make sure they know and avoid the nasty ones like the JWs, Scientology, the Cult of Satan, Satanism (yes, they really are two different things, one is a commie/bigot/business religion the other is the proper thing), any anti religion organisation (Anyone that is set to, wants to or wishes they could destroy the beliefs, faith and hope of the World are just plan **** heads.), suicide pacts (yeah, some of these I would save for a later age that is more ideal for education in the subject of the particular organization/belief system), neo Nazis, etc. I would want my children to know about everything, know the good, know the bad, and then decide what is right for them. And if they want to be agnostic then so be it. Whatever they would want I would support them through. I would want them to have a sense of justice, positive morality, strong common sense and to know what is right and what is wrong.
I would give them a choice. The freedom to choose without having to suffer one sided comments.

Is all religion in some way abusive?
by nvrgnbk ini wish to thank writetoknow for prompting this question from his thread "hating religion is it bigotry?".
what has been your personal experience?.
consider the impressionable mind of the infant.. is it fair to indoctrinate them with dogma?.
-
Trygon
Asking the question 'Is all religion abusive in some way?' is the same as asking the question 'Is all atheism abusive in some way?'. A lot of people here are atheists and the question was brought up and answered by a lot of atheists, so there you go. You can answer your own question.
