2. beliefs
i was 11 years old and i was sitting at my desk in homeroom class when the student on my left, gregory, tapped me on my shoulder.. he held a folded note in his hand and was gesturing for me to take it.

he leaned toward my desk and whispered barely loud enough for me to hear,“pass this note to robbie.” robbie was the girl sitting on my right.. i took the note, unfolded it and read it just as gregory punched my arm.

a shout-whisper came along with the fist, “don’t read it, you moron!”i picked up my pencil and scribbled one word of my own and passed the note to robbie.. i had a crush on robbie and so did gregory bunn.

Two types of religions
by elbib in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
one is religion of terror (in its gross and subtle sense) which can be identified by their divisiveness which is actually violence.

all those religions which divide people into chosen ones and pagans come under this category.

those who teach eternal destruction or eternal hell for those who do not support a certain belief-system also depend upon terrorizing people.

by atomant in

2. beliefs
l can understand why he did it because the money changers were charging high rates to trade their money for acceptable temple money.what a fine example in self control that sets.with respect to the money issue sounds a bit like the gb and their money grab (even childrens pocket money).

by xjwsrock in

warning for those that are still believers... this train of thought will not be faith strengthening.... i have come a long way since first stumbling on crumbs of ttatt in 2012.

) my critical thinking ability, thankfully, is in another stratosphere since figuring out i was a jw lab rat.
