Topic	Why the fuck would anyone consider becoming Jehovahs Witness? Serious question
Dathrowed1 09/13/17 7:33:11 PM #140:	Zanzenburger posted... lol, hearing people talk about Jehova's Witnesses reminds me of how people talk about Seventh Day Adventists, which is the religion I was born and raised in. People also fear it and call it a cult, just because it has more "rules" than your average religion. Yet SDA's is not only the fastest growing religion in the United States (google it), but members of SDA's, on average, live 10 years longer than the typical American due to its health-based doctrine. My point? Fearing religions and labeling them a certain way only serves to close your mind as much as those religions you claim to criticize. Actually talk to members of the religions rather than just make assumptions based on some article you read by a dissenter. weird thing is these 2 "cults" are among the most ethnically diverse religions in the US. Even more than agnostics and atheists. I actually remember an NFL player saying after crack came to his neighborhood it was so bad JWs (and insurance salesmen) were the only white people who visited. --- sig <cite>Dathrowed1 posted [p:886549670] in Why the fu...
