i have never been a jw, and need some specifics on this to help my sister, who is a jw.. just what kind of fear tactics did they instill upon you, and other ways of mind controlling?.

i know all the doctrines from research i have done, but not really sure on the specific things they said to keep you in, not listen to outsiders, and fear from leaving the orginization.. you all are so helpful in these posts, and i know you all will give me some great info.. thanks so much, grace4u

Has religion outlived its usefulness?

has religion outlived its usefulness?.

i am baseing this on the idea that there is no god and that religious views came about as part of mankinds development in understanding the world.. i would say that the reason many religions have survived so long is because , to one degree or another they were useful to live by.they helped people develope moral standards and principles , even if they werent always correct or followed by all.also they helped organise seperated societies and encouraged comunictation between them.in fact some religions could have sped up the development of this world, is it a coinsidence that the developed world followed the christian religious view?.

but even thousands of years ago religion was hindering society when too rigidly applied, human development and advancement almost stopped in the muslim world when that took off.at one time what are now muslim contries wre highly advanced in mathermatics and science.could it be that just like the stagnation of the muslim world that the christian religion is just a hinderance to the mordern world preventing its futher development?.
