Not a good cult to get involved with. They don't believe in modern medicine and treat their women as second class citizens.

Expectant mothers are not allowed to use any anesthesia during delivery. Very cruel.

Call them what you want, they are just bad news.

American studies show that Jehovah's Witnesses have the highest turnover of any religion

I always wondered if they could claim steel-toed shoes as a business expense on their tax returns!

As far as any religion or group philosophy goes, I think it should be an individual's choice as to whether or not to join, rather than something pro-ordained by birth, or through indoctrination of some kind by an individual or group, at an age when an individual has difficulty determining the difference between fact and opinion.

For example, I don't think someone should be obliged to believe that The Pope is infallible, merely because they were born in the Republic of Ireland, or in Italy.

I don't think someone should be a teetotaler, just because they were born in the State of Utah.

I don't think someone should be a Jehovah's Witness, merely because their parents were Jehovah's Witnesses.

I don't think someone should be a member of PETA, just because their kindergarden teacher indoctrinated them into that mindset.

Religion and political ideas ought to be introduced to children at an age at which they are able to differentiate between fact and opinion. This age will vary from child to child. Alternatively, each individual should have the right to 'opt out', from a choice made earlier, either by that individual, or by someone or some entity, making that choice on their behalf.

In practice, groups or philosophies which are founded on deceit specifically target impressionable minds, in order to have those same people, as adults, believe those lies, without knowing why. There are a number of historic examples of this, in fact, fiction, science fiction, and Scripture.

For an interesting lesson in interpersonal relationships within any large city, try attending a protest rally of some sort, but only as a dispassionate observer. Chose some rally about a subject that passionately interests a very few people, but is of no interest whatsoever to the vast majority of passersby. Don't get involved in the protest itself, but consider speaking to the other people who are only observing. One can learn much about "The Human Animal" this way.

Cristy Curves, do you mean the text written, in #11, my avatar pic, or both? (rimshot).

This is my first weekend in Toronto the Good since whenever, so I have a few minutes in realtime, before a morning meeting.

 

[cristycurves]

Lol, not the rim shot, dick pics aren't my thing, real life penis shots are Yes your #11 post smarty pants:wink2: When someone posts underneath your post with an ^ pointing to it, lol, then they obviously mean that post they are pointing to How could you assume otherwise......oopsy I realize asking you this is going to get me into something, lol.

Actually, Cristy Curves, I had asked the moderator about how I could know who likes the posts, thinks they're funny, or thanks me for them. Whom that is, is important to me. The gross numbers of each, not so much. Two guys here could just spend all day liking each other's posts, which would make it seem like they were very popular, but in reality, nobody else thinks so. It's always about quality, not quantity. Quality, and large breasts, of course. That's very important, too. Two guys liking each others' posts, not so much.

When I mentioned 'gross numbers', I didn't mean you, of course.

There was a guy earning from collecting liquor bottles the other day, near the Maple Leaf Gardens building, that's now a grocery store. He had acquired one of those enormous display bottles of Bacardi rum, empty, of course, that he was going to redeem for pocket change. I asked him what the store would give him for the empty bottle, and he said a dollar. I offered him two, and we both made a good deal. I love those big bottles for show, but rum is way too sweet for my taste. It's for the crowd that has to show ID before being served.
