WHAT IF WE DIDN'T POISON CHILDREN'S MINDS WITH FANTASY?
by Terry inevery baby born seems to have a giant helping of fairy stories, talking animals, outrageous exaggerations parading as "fact" and an endless stream of cartoons, science fiction and make-believe.
the laws of nature and physics are violated every few seconds in film and tv!
is it surprising that children are not only ignorant of how things really work-but, they don't have patience and an appetite for fact when they get to the schoolroom.

The Loss of Innocence.....and Recovering
by Frannie Banannie inin mulling over the almost 6 decades of my life, almost two decades of which were spent being enamored of just one more false religion, then spending the following decade discovering all of its deceptions, i feel a tremendous loss of innocence.
as though i were a victim of sexual assault, i don?t now believe that i will ever recover an ability to believe or trust in anyone where religion or blind faith in anything is concerned again in this lifetime.
because, to me......that?s what faith is.....blindness.

Right on FHN! (gawd, I MISS that larger font!). Anyone who starts telling other people they have THE TRUTH should raise all those red flags!
Frannie, what I had in mind was my Catholic friend Angie that was raised Catholic. When something catastrophic happens she can pray to something that she believes in. Because she was RAISED that way. It comforts her, & she actually BELIEVES it works. People that were not raised that way I'm thinking would have a hard time getting anything like that in adulthood & believing in it.
Goodness Frannie, I would think by 28 you would have had your heart broken a couple times & become jaded. For me, it's fool me twice, shame on YOU. I never became a man hater, & have known lots of fine men that I've had (and have) utmost respect for. But I think you get a little gun shy after a bad experience. Frannie, just heard a country song called Wedding Song, or something like that & it was some check singing about look at the bride, she is so young & sweet, and she don't know nothin', I'm glad I'm not the bride.
My husband sees people differently, it might be a man thing. I don't know, I never asked one. But he meets people & waits for them to "prove" themselves to him. He is a first impression kinda guy & holds people at bay. It might also be because he has a great talent & has been used to people trying to suck up to him & be his "friend" before. I meet people & try not to jump to first conclusions & like them till they act up or do something to me.
You know, his way actually seems to work better, come to think of it! If I had more of his attitude & less tolerance for "interesting" people, I might not have had some of the trouble that I have had. Any way you lose your innocence & belief that mankind is basically good is never pleasant, for sure!

In person, it isn't even much like a dead skunk. It's sooo much more! It takes your breath away!
Tomato juice fixed it for us. And I have no doubt my dogs would do it again in a minute!

As for part of your first post, are you wishing that you were able to have a "faith" in something that you cannot see? Is that what you were wishing you had, the kind of faith some other people have?
And are you able to remember how jaded you were before you got into the jws? Or do you feel you were not jaded in young adulthood, UNTIL the jw experience? Before that, were you somewhat jaded after the first time you had your heart broken?
I lowered my font now, because someone thought I was yelling.

Princess, I use a bigger font because I think smaller ones are harder for some people to see. Especially if they're not wearing their glasses!
