  Did your parents force spiritual goals on you?

  i was thinking today about my childhood.

  i knew from a young age that the proper response to a question about what i wanted to be when i grew up was pioneering, missionary, bethel, or c.o.

  i was taught from childhood not to want to be a fireman or astronaut.

  Yes, my dream of being a teacher, I knew I wanted to teach from 3rd grade on. Now I am 65 I have been told over the last 45 years it was my choice, not the way I or my friends remember. 45 years ago it became harder to go to college as I had my first child and didn't no how to start back to school. I always encouraged my kids to get their education. One has an associate and the other has her Masters.

  JWs and War

  by Laika in

  2. beliefs

  here's the scene, you're out for a walk with a jw, and somehow discussion turns to religion.. the jw says: 'i know jws have the truth because we don't go to war, members of other churches will kill each other if their government asks them to, but the bible says 'do not kill' and we follow that.'.

  how do you respond?.

  True but look at JW tragedies and many JW have murdered their own families. Also there are religions in this world that are pacifists also. Quackers, Amish to name two.

  i never was a jw, and in many ways my interest was academic.

  i have known, and know, some jws and ex-iws and know something of (but not personally) the effects that wtbts has on people.

  the effects, imho, are not positive.
