  Were you totally petrified to question the teaching of the dubs?

  i look back now and think what the hell was wrong with me?

  it's just so crazy to be so blind.

  everytime, i'd think that this or that wasn't quite right, i'd think i was committing blasphemy.. it's sad to know that's why many people are still stuck in that religion..

  I never even thought to question what I had been taught from birth. It just didn't occur to me that it might not be true.

  Now how dumb is that!!!!

  It's gotta be hard to question something that you were raised to believe in. Don't feel bad.

  The only teaching I questioned was 1975 and 1976 clarified that. I lived through it.

  When 76 came, the whole house of cards fell down for me.

  I was serving for a date. Because I was born in, I was looking for a loophole

  to escape through, and they gave it to me with smiling faces and empty heads.

  I got baptized in 1986. I knew nothing of their previous teachings; and when, someone tried to tell me about the teachings, I wouldn't listen.

  yes. still am at times. only because i do not want outed from my progressive fade.

  I have daughters that are still in the religion, so I know how you feel.

  Never really scared, but I genuinely believed I could affect the flow of the holy spirit in the congregation; how stupid was that?

  That is what they teach you to keep you in line. *ridiculous*

  I was. I look back now and think what the hell was wrong with me? It's just so crazy to be so blind. Everytime, I'd think that this or that wasn't quite right, I'd think I was committing blasphemy.

  Yeah, Ducky- Evolution WOULD make more sense to you.

  Dude, I'm agnostic. I don't know how we got here? I just know that some theories just do not make any sense.

  Noah was an animal hoarder. How did his family take care of all those animals?

  Now we have Genesis, where God forms the man from the ground, and empowers him with life- and a wife that evolution can't account for, and the human family begins (is documented), Genetics confirms there was an original couple, the sciences studying languages, race, and civilizations show us all braching back to one- instead of evolution popping up a man here, and a man there...

  I always thought that the Garden of Eden story was weird. God made one man and one woman? They had children? And their children had sex with one another to procreate and fill the earth. . .and then later on laws were made to not "lay down" with your brother or sister and so on and so forth.

  It's kind of perverted to think about.

  just curious.

  i know many people that say they wouldn't die for religion but follow practices that might cause their death.

  I remember how mad everyone was after 9/11. Many people were ready to go to war and go "Jihad on a mother"! I remember my younger brother (he's in his forties) saying that he was ready to go kill some MF'ers! And he's not patriotic at all. He was just mad as hell! So, I guess, I'd have to say yes I'd fight/die in a war or help out some how for my country. It just depends on if I believe in the reason for the war.

  quillsky......you did not understand what i meant.....it can take months,,,,maybe even years to leave....(quit drinking)....most people require alot of help...mentally,,,financially,,,physically....etc..etc....how much worse if your a witness??? it is not a simple as "just leave" or "just quit" drinking...

  anybody that works with this type of individual,,,,could tell you the failure rate of both....people go back to the abuse,,,,people go back to the drinking......they are classified as both a mental illness,,and physical illness....

  I agree with you, Peaches. There's a lot more psychological workings going on that have to be repaired, as well as, other things (kids, finances, home, etc...). Just saying "Leave" isn't going to register with most people in this type of situation.

  I just had to say that I disagree with Quillsky. I'm not much for posting and arguing with people lately. It just seems like a waste of time.

  Yup! I like to fish. Funny thing though...I don't like fishing for Bluegills. More a large mouth Bass type of guy! Some things just don't make a lot of sense!

  My husband and I use to go fishing a lot. All that I seemed to catch was Bluegills! LOL! I liked it better when we caught bass, catfish, or crappie!
