Thank you cappy! Yes I'm female.
And shoot William, I am not one of the people who say you can't have morals without religion. I disagree very strongly with that.

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?

I'm experiencing the same thing, ff, and not going to argue with you about that. My parents don't want to see their grandchildren either.
Ive just heard a lot of testimonials from people who say they were terrible people before finding Christ. Abusive, violent alcoholic types. I know some of these people personally, and they have turned around.

For Witnesses Attending the Memorial!
by The Searcher in(1 corinthians 11:23-25) ".......that the lord jesus on the night on which he was going to be betrayed took a loaf, 24 and after giving thanks, he broke it and said: "this means my body, which is in your behalf.
keep doing this in remembrance of me.
" 25 he did the same with the cup also, after they had the evening meal, saying: "this cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood.

Go this year, but don't give your mom false hope...say you are just doing it for her, just this year. it will be especially crazy for you after having gone to the baptist church. But I bet there will be some people who are sweet to you and give you nice greetings, so just focus on that, and the shared history you have with them.
p.s. And rock that new dress!!

Yes I agree, but it can work both ways. Sometimes 'evil' people do good things because of religion. -

The blood policy. That something that is sacred because it is the 'symbol' of life, can actually be more important than saving a life. -

there are many former witnesses I have contact with, and few visit or post on sites like this. One of them visited for a while but didn't post. I visited a few several years ago but never posted until recently.
I think it's a mental thing, it really does take cajones to register on an apostate site, after all we've been told our lives. I think you can take the number of new posters here and figure the number leaving is exponentially larger.

He asked the question of 'those who felt like him'! You all were much gentler than often, but still, why chime in in this case? Wouldnt it be the same if someone came in with Christian comments when someone asked to hear atheist views? It'd be annoying as heck, right? -
