    I told my mum about a JW elder 'touching' me. Instead of getting the support a young kid needs from her mum, my mum called a load of elders around to our house (including the abuser) and they forced me to say that nothing happened and scared the life out of me - I was only 13 at the time. I left home at 16 and never seen my parents or the JW's since - I have never complained or mentioned this before as even now I tremble at what I went through those 28 years ago.

      animus apertus but the true difference is that, if christianity is false, (or other religion, since all religion may be wrong, but not all religion may be true) then there is nothing. But if it is true, i'm sorry but unless we surrender ourselves to Christ, ( or if other religion is the truth, you get the point) we are bound to punishment. THAT is the biggest difference.

    Sadly enough, I both remember and have documented the tragic rape of a little girl by a priest. She stated that as she was being raped that she "didn't know what was going on, only that I felt this terrible pain, and that I wanted to die..." After this tragedy, the priest said, "If you tell anyone, your parents will burn in hell..." Ultimately he was exposed, indited, and sentenced to prison. He died in prison less than a year later. Karma really visited this man- almost as if it had become sentient. But, what angered me about Jimmy swaggart was his asking the prostitute about her daughter? I mean, leave little kids out of the potential for the sexual act. Leave kids alone.

I am not subjugating myself to a plethora of men who want to make all my decisions for me, including ruling over my body, because they "say" they speak for The Big Guy. Men who tell me I should bend to the will of my husband, be a submissive baby maker. Well, what if I don't have a husband, what if I have a wife? What if I take the morning after pill bc I don't WANT more kids? Oh, no!!! Burn her at the stake!!! Listen, my choices are mine, not theirs. You should try it, it's very freeing.

For only at this level of body awareness does one constantly consistently have the self control discipline loyalty devotion appreciation and respect confidence playful determination to validate confirm and signify that they are consciously aware physically able to participate in being true towards love honor and the creation of life. That is putting it very mild.

      I was a single mom who had to make do with below poverty level income to support my children. I didn't have a way to get to church back then unless my friends would take me. I would practically sit in front of the tube watching Jimmy, Jim,Tammy,Dollar, and Tyson. LOL!!! My teenage daughter, and her friends found sheer entertainment watching some of these tele evangelists. They would laugh,and make coments thinking how ridiculous they were acting out to scam feeble minded so called "BELIVERS" out of their last dollar if they could. I didn't know what to think, and I was a bit confused, and on a guilt trip due to these "preachers," mandated you to tithe your last cent to them, or The Lord wouldn't BLESS you, and you would end up impoverished. I was comfused because this was my only connection with Church,and connecting with God, but, in hindsight I look back on it now, and have the satisfaction knowing that I was "selfish," and holding back on giving.. Money was tight back then.. I had mouths to feed, and we needed a roof over out heads! So, glad I didn't allow these avarice 🐺s in 🐑's clothing con me into parting with every red dollar WE NEEDED!!!! My kids, and their teen friends had more common sense than some older adults that gave their hard earned money, often the meager Social Security checks that provided for their survival.They urgently needed every last cent, so I do feel for these poor Seniors who depended on it to survive, eat, and buy life saving medication which they desparately was an essential for their health. It made a difference between life or death,and often had to go hungry, if the check did not cover a couple weeks until the next due check.They had to also choose between eating, or taking medication for pre-exsisting conditions. So, their check didn't cover all their life saving necessities. I can't imagine how some felt stressed out over not being able to tithe to these so called preachers, and breaking God's Laws if they wouldn't obey, and GIVE. One has to consider that many have mental limitations on their capacity to use cognitive reasoning, and sort things out in their minds to a logical conclusion. They just are not equipped with the mental faculties they once had in their prime. So, many prosperity preachers would use such elderly such as these to their adavantage. They used manipulation, and The Bible as a weapon to justify why one should tithe at least 10% of their income, or God wouldn't bless them, but give a curse instead. So, this was a scare tactic so the indigent elderly would release some cash. Some, who were better off would tithe a thousand dollars a shot on Sunday morning. The telethons were rampant. An 800 number would come on the television screen, and the preacher, and his back up henchmen would coach the viewers to call in and give to the number the TV Screen. Credit Card usually only. While viewers would call in.. ...there was a break fom the 🐺Preacher Promptings, or demands to go get your wallet... SOOOOooooo UH OH!!! THE MULTI-TALENTED PREACHER WOULD CROON, SING...CROON.. SING.. A ROLLICKING UPBEAT CHRIST-CENTERED SONG WHILE U WORSHIPPED THE LORD!?!?!?!? OR.....HMMMMM WAS IT HIM!?!?!?!!!! OR DID HE WORSHIP THE LORD???? OR....THE 💵💵💵💵💵 WHICH WOULD SO RIGHTEOUSLY 💸💸💸💸💸💸FLY!!!

    You said "honorable mentions" but because of the actual subject matter it should have been "dishonorable mentions!"

    Why can't we treat religion like a mental problem, what's the difference between religion and schizophrenia.

      I don’t believe in god but I believe atheists don’t go to hell, only people who do some really bad things or are pieces of crap and televangelists stay in purgatory and are purposely put on hold.
      Edit: I actually am semi atheist. I like Christian religion but don’t believe in god.
