  the term 'fundamentalism' entered the English language in 1922, and is often capitalised when referring to the religious movement.

  Fundamentalism came from multiple streams in British and American theology of the 19th century.

  Fundamental -

  forming a necessary base or core

  of central importance

  A central or primary rule or principle on which something is based

  Fundamentalism

  is the demand for a strict adherence to orthodox theological doctrines

  usually understood as a reaction against modernist theology, primarily to promote continuity and accuracy.

  the term ''fundamentalism'' was origionally coined by it's supporters to describe five specific classic theological beliefs of christianity,

  and that developed into a movement within the protestant community of the UNITED STATES in the early part of the 20th century,

  and had it's roots in the fundamentalist-modernist controversy of that time.

  the term usually has a religious connotation indicating unwavering attachment to a set of irreducible beliefs.

  Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Non-religious, Atheist.

  interesting scripture

  Colossians 2:13-23

  wonder what jw's say about that.

  Protecting pedophiles while protecting children

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i know that a lynch mob forms whenever there's a hint of anybody being a pedophile, but the truth is that not all are the slavering, predatorial animals that they are painted to be.

  each circumstance has its' own specifics.

  in defense of the wts, they do keep track of confirmed pedophiles now.

  Jhine - nope. lol. I think we are probably coming from a similar angle, as mothers, we will defend our children, it get's down to base nature for me, i will never allow anyone to hurt my children, it is the most awful thing for any parent to have to stand by, powerless, to do anything, only deal with the 'pain'. If apaedo ever touched one of my kids, that what be one less capable paedo in this world. Eye for an eye.

  It is totally unacceptable for children to suffer at the hands of adults, and be left to swing in the wind.

  I detest pain and suffering inflicted on people.

  But I have learned, living in this 'world' is like being in a sick game sometimes. The mind is complex, how ignorant and uneducated some of us are, because of the 'cult' we gave up so much, it does make one angry, it does make one upset, it does on times make one act irrationally. that is what emotions are all about, but still, in this modern day and age, the system is failing people in this area. mental and emotional health and well being is more important than physical health, I think.

  All we can do sometimes is , grit our teeth, and grin and bear it, and hope things will change.

  I rub people up the wrong way, we all do, it is natural, we are all so different and complex. We come from ancient tribal communities, for some, the identity of who they are is lost, and where they belong, they cannot figure out, there is no guide, there is no map. Things are sometimes just not as they should be.

  Education and training in life is everything. Knowing the game, learning how to play the game.

  Politics. farce. I have been involved with and witnessed some things first hand, that were very distastful. It is an old boys club, and change is the hardest thing because of the political sytems. Yet it could all be so simple. 'you can do more good and make more chnages if you get to the top' I was told, but I can tell you, it is a hard climb, I admire activists, it takes a lot of work and energy to do what they do.

  I do hope people realise, when we talk about paedo issues, how protected they are by the 'old boys club'. Do a search on books, true stories of victims who were dragged into the 'game' of sick perverse men, for their pleasures.

  Judges, Lawyers/solicitors, Police officers, elitist business men. they are a world wide network, and they are the driving force behind the problem.

  thankfully, a lot of it is coming out now. But, how long has it taken. Why does it grind so slow ?

  The police, are not here for us, they are here for the elites, their gaurd dogs, if you like. There is so much corruption. Will we ever know the truth of it all.

  ... that they actually have more of a desire to get to knoww you then jehovah's witnesses.

  for years at the kingdom hall although i was an elder everyone "knew of me" but no one knew me.

  i realized that i never really had a friend who knew anything about me as a person or my background.

  when i first came to this site.

  whenever i would try to talk about somethign from the bible that the jw's got wrong or reason on a scripture that had so much feeling you would stomp all over it.

  talking about "flying spaghetti gods" and laugh at what seemed to be my expense and then leave the thread never to return and add any substance.
