the truth about organized religion.
christians and theists often state that without religion people would resort to barbarism and anarchy.
in reality however some of the greatest acts of cruelty have come from organized religion, such as: .
Yep,
Many evils have been commited in the name of religion. However, were it not for religion, I would find NOTHING in myself to prevent me from murdering, stealing, etc to get what I wanted. For all the atrocities done in the name of religion, there's also been WORLDS of good done. The people who list the things you just did never mention the Francis of Assisi's or Mother Teresa's or the JP II's who have been motivated to great good because of faith.

ive just heard about a suicide here in toronto, a brother, sounds like a family man.
i dont know any details but i was kind of disturbed because its apparently a matter of some controversy.
some feel that they should not attend the funeral since it was a suicide.
That's absolutely ridiculous. You go to funerals to comfort the living more than to honor the dead. They should be there for the family. Not going will just isolate and discourage the family more. Then again, what do you expect from a group so well known for the "love they have for one another".

this topic was inspired by another one dealing with the pointless loss of life of four jw teenagers.
upon reflection, it seems even more pointless than before.
and it makes the jw policy on blood aritrary to the point where it rubs shoulders with actual criminal conspiracy.
Orthodox Christian theology on this is that since blood sacrafice foreshadowed that of Jesus on the Cross, blood was sacred to God and was to be offered just as that of Jesus was. The life is in the blood because Jesus blood is live giving.
From a practical standpoint, the life is in the blood because if ya don't have blood, you have no life.
JW position is too inconsistent, if they wanna do this no blood thing right they need to buy only kosher meats what we buy at the store still has too much blood in it.
The Jews, to whom this law of blood was given don't understand it in the Light that the JW's do, Jews can recieve blood transfusions. The dubs are wierd on this issue.

i have had my jw cousin and his wife and three children staying at my house since sunday.
i thought i'd just share a few experiences with you all.. my husband and i are marveling at the numerous compromises they have made since coming here to washington state from wisconsin.
they are here to visit his disfellowshipped mother who has cancer.
Princess,
I hope as the guests leave that you mention something like, "Although you didn't once say thank you, I know you are appreciative, and you are welcome. I also hope you took the advice about hinting at doing the dishes.
Yeru, who likes you more and more all the time
