As a child we were involved witht the Jo Ho's and this excerpt is very much the
sort of thing they went on about, althought they didn't mention any country's
secret service-just Stan.
We were also told not to read Stephen King and other such novels because these
books were possessed by demons and we would be 'infected' by them. We were
constantly warned about demon possesion and I was always told I was in
particular danger from them. So when i flipped, shaved my head fully expecting
to see 666 tattooed on it, and truly believed I was attacked by demons what did
they do? Did they pray for me? Did they keep me in the Kingdom Hall and keep me
safe? no of course not. Their beliefs went out the window and they called an
ambulance instead!
Before these people, I had RC nuns telling me I would more thsan likely go to
hell but I may get to Limbo if I was really good. Heaven was out for me as my
father was a 'heathen', ie. not a RC. They got the word wrong-he's an utter
bastard but then the nuns were creeps anyway so wouldn't have noticed that. then
the BA's-well just as cruel and nutty and hypocritical as the JW's and RC's.
I wonder why i have no time for religion now! (and no I am not an athiest). I
think religion should be banned from shcools and children until they are old
enought o understand and make up their own minds.
