MattBucks,
You're coming across as naïve. The press largely do what they can to make money. Telling the truth in many situation won't make money. A prime example is Jimmy Saville. His activities were common knowledge to many. But it literally paid to keep it hidden, so all did.
The same is true for abortion. It's not just my view that it kills unborn children. It's an undisputed fact, even science admits they're existing human beings. The difference is they don't make money. It's easy to dehumanize & kill a person that's hidden away behind closed doors so to speak. The parents can then remain chained to the work house.
Many politicians also voted to kill disabled people without their consent via Liverpool care pathway. Under the guise of quality of life. The government also frequently shuts down benefits for the disabled. Proving that their motives aren't really quality of life. Their motives are producing elite high earners & eradicating dependants. Correct me if I'm wrong but that was also hitlers plan.
The bible doesn't support slavery, abortion etc. The problem is that I've seen people twist the bible to mean what they like. Which is what Muslim extremist do with the Koran. For example slavery & prostitution did exist in the time of Jesus, but it wasn't promoted by Jesus. The audience simply included them. And sacrifice of a born child to show devotion was requested by god. However the request turned out to be symbolic for devotion, the killing didn't occur.
I think you're projecting your own inability to care about others feelings or emotional wellbeing onto others. It's common for those with autism to have rigid thought processes & inflexible thinking. Or perhaps this is just a family trait. Which could explain why your aunt was not happy within your family & left for JW, who were maybe more flexible.
The JW I've seen don't go into fake rooms with fake interactions. They were out meeting people within their community, gaining skills as they go along. You seem to be coming across as a bit jealous.
FYI society existed without modern laws. In fact the Amish in America have proven that small communities governing themselves from within, often provides the happiest & healthiest society. But what we have here in UK is the opposite. The whole country is governed primarily from afar, by the most egotistical ignorant & arrogant.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate when non-witness ASDs do research. Thanks for defending my believes, as I am an ASD Witness myself. I greatly appreciate how you have gone out of your way to educate yourself on our beliefs. There are many misconceptions of us (like us being a cult & brain washing our members). We are actually genuinely really warm-hearted loving people, the elders (like a teacher) are just there to help & guide us, and they don’t view themselves above the rest. We are encouraged to do our own research to help build a firm foundation for our beliefs. It really hurts especially for me as I have ADHD, anxiety & ASD (which do not mix well) so I am like super super super super sensitive, and it hurts when people make accusations about us. In many countries we are persecuted and often imprisoned (sometimes killed) just because of what we believe in. Most witnesses would rather be executed than give up what they believe in (including me) not because we have been brainwashed but because we have strong built a strong foundation for our beliefs by doing independent research. I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate you sticking up for us. Not many people do. :)
