Though I came to a different place in my beliefs than FayeDunaway did after exiting, FayeDunaway supported me with words of comfort in my time of emotional turmoil when letting go of the cult, and for that, I will be ever grateful and let him/her have their religion and never criticize him/her for it. (I'm assuming the proper pronoun is "her" but I hate to assume.)

How do you feel about religion as a whole?
by FatherFirst init just seems to me religion in general primarily makes truly bad people worse, not genuinly good people better; and in many cases has even made good people do bad things in the name of their religion.
just curious, a personal poll if you will.
what are you guys' current views on religion as a whole?

How much do you love Spam?
by John Aquila ini not sure how popular it is in other parts of the world but in my part of the world, it is not popular at all.
if you had to climb a ladder to get to it you would have to climb over steak, ham, fish, chicken, tuna, bologna, and a few others meats before you get to spam..
i have not seen a spam commercial since the 90s.

SIMON, THIS POST IS SPAM! GET OUT THE BAN HAMMER!
In all seriousness, I like Spam sandwiches and Spam & Egg tacos. Those are my favorite ways to eat spam.

Why attack?
by newqatarjob inas someone brought up as a jw and been an elder and been disfellowshipped (twice!!!
) i find it difficult to understand why ex jws have to attack the religion, yes religion, not cult or sect.
i am no longer disfellowshipped just do not want to practice anymore.

This dude either did a total drive by, or has been driven speechless by the amazing responses. If you believe the latter, I've got some Pyramidology books you might be interested in buying. -

How do I feel about it? It's completely ridiculous and gobledeegook.
How do I feel about others who are religious? As long as it doesn't tread on my rights and freedoms, believe all you want.

One Scripture To Trash the Org: 1st John 4:18
by freemindfade in1st john 4:18 .
18 there is no fear in love,+ but perfect love casts* fear out, because fear restrains us.
indeed, the one who is fearful has not been made perfect in love.+.

That statement that we have all heard in talks time and again is the ultimate JW-oxymoron.
Interestingly, and correct me if I'm wrong, no where in the scriptures does it specify that the type of "fear of God" is not a morbid fear. It's always just stated as, "Fear Jehovah your God," "Fear God"...etc.

Atheism
by Jonathan Drake inrecent events and book reads (one suggested by cofty i believe- thank you) have lead me to the only logical and acceptable conclusion:.
there is no god.. simple logical reasoning: matter can neither me created or destroyed.
so the amount of mass in the universe is constant.

Religious Freedom Laws...
by wisdomfrombelow ini wonder if the religious freedom laws would allow active jws to discriminate against former jws?
could a business owner decide not to serve or sell to someone they consider "apostate" according to their beliefs?
if so it could take shunning to a whole new level in some states.
