“Meme God”: 50 Hilarious Memes From This IG Page That Might Awaken Your Last Brain Cell

Who told you "Hindoeism" (Hinduism) prohibits someone from dressing up? Please don't spread rumours, my friend. We pandas here are lazy and bored, and we like being together. Do not divide us on the basis of religion or any other thing.

not Islam, at the least. We're allowed to wear suits. look at Erdogan, for example.

It’s not the suit that’s forbidden, it’s costumes in general but we certainly get Muslim kids in costume trick or treating in our area. I suppose it could be any religion that parents interpret over strictly but I’d put my money on one of the odder Christian groups.

This was not about wearing a suit but dressing up. I know muslims who are not allowed any kind of fun.

Khawarij?

@BringMeCake, please keep in mind that even the things you confirm is true like refusing blood transfusions and going no-contact with children (and even grandchildren) if they do not share the same faith are things that many of us do consider very extreme and as you say "psychotic". And even people with the best intentions can do bad things, I'm sure any religious person that tries to spread their faith does so because they believe they're helping and doing others a kindness by "saving" them.

I've had JWs tell me that there is no need for any of this worrying about climate change, pollution, or animal extinctions because the End Times are coming and Jehovah will sort it all out.

That is actually really surprising to me because when my dad was still running his coffee shop, some JW friends came in all the time and frequently left The Watchtower out for others to read. My dad- an atheist- was impressed because the literature frequently talked about the problem of climate change, and how it was affecting the natural world.

I think that in all religions there are people who will use their beliefs to justify their behaviour even if it contradicts the actual teachings

Eff them and everyone else who refuse to do anything about climate change!

I agree, the psychos in any religion ruin it for the many!

JWs do not perform wierd rituals, worship the devil, brain wash any of their congregation or perform wierd c**p during their meetings. I could go on! Yes they take their faith seriously and unfortunately, they will cease contact with you, if you are baptised and then go on to live in an un-godly way, for example have an affair, take d***s etc- something that God believes you should not do. I agree this is unfair and I really feel for my mum's friend's children, who she does not see because they are not baptised. She doesn't see her grandchildren, which I think is over-the-top. All I am saying is do not form an opinion on JWs, from what you have heard. And if you hear something psychotic, question it. My siblings and my mum received help from the kindest people- JWs when my dad was physically and emotionally abusive, during the divorce etc. They are some of the kindest people I know and they still support my mum now, who is on her own, still dealing with past trauma.

I imagine JW like most religious secs are independently run and not a hive mind. Which means some could absolutely be b*tsh*t insane and cultish. -sincerely, someone who belongs to a religion that Christians think is devil worship because its different.

Isn't divorce something that God doesn't want you to do?

JWs can only divorce after one mate has committed secual immorality with another person

no. Its least preffered but not forbidden

They look after each other and at the end of the day, only want to spread the word about God and help people live kinder, better lives, following the bible. The blood thing is because they believe blood is sacred and people's blood shouldn't be mixed. It's not at all that they want anyone to die!!!!!! They will look at all options of medical care. Also, not all blood is clean and there have been many cases where people have had blood transfusions and ended up with diseases or death, from contaminated blood! Yes it's rare, but it happens. All I'm saying is don't believe everything you hear about JWs. There are some unusual things they do, but all the psycho stuff is BS.

Oh please. I had Jehovah's Witnesses tell me that my miscarriages were my fault because "I'm a sinner", so god decided to "take my babies". I'm honestly so sick of religious apologists who say "not all of us are like this", said in a way that implies only a small minority is problematic, when it is absolutely the majority. You say the psycho stuff we hear about JWs is BS, but then go on and try to justify denying life-saving blood transfusions, using fairy tale "logic" as a reason to deny actual, real, tested science. Truly not interested in your defense of a cult.

Anyone who believes in a god is not really rooted in reality. Dig down into any religion and you find misogyny and control issues at their worst. But I guess it's easier to pretend an external source is responsible for your life, rather than making your own decisions and being accountable for them. Child abuse is as prevalent with JW's as any other religion. I have seen that myself. Control for the masses!

its not causing harm to anyone what are u on about??

If a child is forbidden by religious parents to play with the other children, that is causing harm as I see it.

It didnt say he wasnt allowed to play. It was just said that he isnt allowed to wear costumes
