  I know what subliminal means Marvin. Is this really under the threshold of consciousness of the average person? Took me about one minute to see it. Perhaps you and I just hope we are cleverer than average Marvin? :)

  Ok two nuts and a cock, I can see that, but they are neither subliminal nor demonic images, just an artist having a laugh.

  Jesus' sandals look exactly like some I bought from Amazon last year. Which proves Jesus is a time-travelling alien.

  Welcome dgeero. Your family sound very healthy. They put family relationships ahead of the cult. There is definitely hope for them.

  I think artcritic is giving ex-JWs a bad name. Anyone doubting the WTS and taking a quick look on here in search of help will assume we are all crazy and run back into the cult. Which would be an extremely sad state of affairs.

  Congratulations Garrett. My husband and I disassociated and never looked back. You will be free of JWs trying to draw you back and will be able to move on and make new friends and explore new ideas.

  How do you feel about religion as a whole?

  by FatherFirst in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it 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?

  Where there is poverty there is religion. Certainly true of my family when I was growing up. Introduce education and a decent standard of living and immediately there is time and the inclination to examine reality. Agnosticism and atheism tend to follow.

  i'm not sure how everyone else feels, but i'd kind of like to be able to see how many likes or dislikes my own post gets.

  i think it's be good, and a nice way to gauge your own reception to a discussion and maybe know when to back off or leave on a high note, lol.

  Insisting members are no part of the world. Ridiculous, we have to live on this planet. Sure be an individual and join in whatever you like and don't necessarily be a sheeple but forbidding people from being a part of the culture they're growing up in is damaging to their mental health.

  Children want to join in, to be accepted, to make friends, that's normal. Preventing them doing this, I believe, is actual cruelty.
