  Our body is a temple?

  by enlightened in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my father was disfellowshiped for smoking.... the whole our bodies are temples, respect for god, being weak, addiction and the rest of the reasons....blah blah blah.

  i admit that this is a bad habit, and has side effects... ones that he would have to suffer, but not directly hurting god himself.

  so this got me thinking that if people participate in an activity (or lack there-of) and it directly or indirectly causes their temples to be desecrated shouldn't they also suffer repercussions?

  Yet another simimilar story.

  i was told about this site from family members that have all survived/overcome being jw's.

  i must admit it is wonderful and so disturbing at the same time, to read all of these stories.

  it's amazing what a religion/cult can do to you, first by embracing you then completely consuming you.

  What did you do to keep yourself amused at the KH?

  when i was very young about 12 or 13 my brother [he's mad, not much older] sometimes used to do a cheeky magic trick during the watchtower[god, this was the most boring of them all, i think].

  he used to put his hands by his side and miraculously the books on his lap would rise all by themselves [yeah, you guessed it ...morning glory], well it made me laugh my head off.

  i bet people could see my shoulders bouncing up and down from the back row.
