  I agree , the thought of buying a gun at all is totally foreign to us , but for a Christmas present wow .

  Guns are simply not part of our culture.

  'i am perfectly happy on christmas day to say merry christmas to everybody,' dawkins said.

  'i might sing christmas carols - once i was privileged to be invited to kings college, cambridge, for their christmas carols and loved it.

  Nicolaou, that's a good question and something that l have never thought about. I would have to really consider how much of a part l would be comfortable in playing in an Eid or Diwali celebration. Certainly not to the point of praising a deity that l didn't believe in , l would feel hypocritical doing that.

  I would not expect anyone else to compromise their beliefs. My husband isn't religious and although happy to attend social events at church like quizes he doesn't come to services and l would never try to make him do anything that he felt uncomfortable with .

  Also l would not expect a Sikh or Hindu to attend a Christian service .

  I don't see atheists as hypocritical for having parties, putting up trees etc . Nothing religious about that.

  However for Richard Dawkins to sing songs of praise to the God that he has spent most of his life denying does seem hypocritical

  How my awakening began.

  about a month ago i started having a clear out of old clothes, books and bric a brac etc….. i don’t know what came over me but i decided to chuck out all my old jw literature because we literally have no more room.

  it started with magazines, then books, ministry literature and once i started, couldn’t stop.

  weird right?

  I know that most people who leave the WT become atheists. That is entirely each individual's choice .

  However as a never been JW , lifelong Anglican l feel sad when l see all denominations lumped together with the Witnesses.

  I see no similarities between the church that l belong to and JW teaching, even to the Bible that they use .

  Covid Vaccine

  i may be mistaken, but wasn’t there a governing body video where one of them said something along the lines of you don’t trust that the vaccines are safe do you really believe that the governing body is the faithful slave?

  perhaps i imagined this but i thought something like this was said.

  i already have a friend who is trying to tell me that my mental health is causing my disillusionment with the jehovah’s witnesses.

  funny that a mental health therapist has told me my mental health issues are caused by being a jehovah’s witness.

  i’m still not going back.

  Wow they really do a good job of mind control.

  I suppose that your friend does mean well and believes what she says .

  By that logic most of the world's population is mentally ill.

  I hate the way they talk.

  what is with the jw cadence when they speak.

  do they think they are teaching people ?

  they sound like pro wrestlers doing promos or shakespearean actors.

  I get annoyed at statements like " one church said " . Which church.? Always this very vague quality about the " information " that they are giving.

  What would happen if an audience member asked the question?
