Read abook's post. Who cares what "Eddie and the boys" think? I don't really know if Ed said this but I think so: Worship the music not the musician
Some religions are fucked up but if you want to believe in them, I don't care as long as you don't start pushing your beliefs on me, as long as your beliefs don't hurt others, as long as it's respectful...
Some of these religions mentioned here are aweful, I know two kids who absolutely hate their parents for being Jehova's Witnesses, they weren't allowed anything, they weren't even allowed to talk unless with permission and only about serious things like Jehova... They had no tv, no radio, no computer, were never allowed to go to parties, couldn't have friends over...
And not just those to kids, their entire group was like that...
A lot of the things mca47 said.
I know not all Jehova's Witnesses are like that...
I hear what you are saying. I just feel the need to defend them a wee bit more...
What you mentioned in a large part of the JW's problem. A lot of them just can't figure out how to live the way the bible says and they freak out and act like the ones you mentioned. Now, where I went, there was nothing like that. There were parties and probably too much fun. The congregation I went to was a little lax, which is aother problem they have. Again, it is the people who screw up, not the organization itself so much. Some of the people get hardcore with with. LMAO, JW Extremists!
What makes JWs different than other religions is this: WHile they, like every other religion, don't practice what they preach, at least what they are preaching is true (biblically speaking, you know, if the bible is true, they are God's people). Shhhhh...big if.
