Technological illiteracy, combined with fear of *nothing* ......... ie, ideas like terrorism, poverty, hunger - ie, these are concepts .......... there is no WAR that will cure these ills, only a sea change of the world view.

Grreat Teacher, Agreed! I thought of that as well .. hmmm, who reported him? Obviously another JW who was surfing that site! It's all so moronic and high-school at the same time. Thing is, it ruins lives. haha, I can bear witness! :P

This is a momentary blip ......... people turn to religion when they are oppressed - HELLO!
We in NA and Europe, and other 'lucky' countries, have no concept of the suffering, the poverty, experienced in other places. These people will turn to religion to ease their suffering.
If we DO evolve, and start solving problems like world hunger, and greed, and people can be HAPPY and WELL FED,,, then religion will disappear from the planet. There would be no need for a G*d if people were happy in their lives, had enough to enjoy living, satisfying work, etc.Once we get past political/cultural and financial ideologies, and start treating each other as equals, there will be NO NEED for religion or any other fantastical belief systems.

sparrowdown ,, I so agree!
Just sayin', and a heads-up to anyone who wants to do their own, personal research to confirm what I am claiming in the next para. (Yes, I could post references - but it's time for YOU to learn how to check out 'scrips for yourself! xo)
Effexxor could be added to that list, and the JW leadership must love this drug, because it causes sexual dysfunction in most users. My "EX" doctor said that in the medical profession, they call it "Side Effexxor". I didn't think that was very funny, and it's one of the reasons why she is now my EX doctor. *smiles*
** for anyone who is saying to themselves "HOLY S***, is that why I can't <insert word>???"
YES, it is. Check this out out verifiable medical sites, and ask your pharmacist. Depending on the practitioner, your MD may or may not be knowledgeable.xo

Phaedra8 days agoI was raised with the same "five fingers" as life is to short described.
Phaedra, I would love to read LITS thread and/or comments about this. Can you link us to that thread? I couldn't find it using the Search function. Thanks!

Oubliette, ahaha! love it
Can someone who experienced this part of JW-ism, please elaborate on what decade, and perhaps country? It may be a regional thing, or not from 'my time', but this is completely new to me. I don't doubt it for a second, and would like to know more details about when and where. Thanks!
("my time' would be 60s/70s)
