This reminds me of a story in the Book of Mormon where God commands one of his most faithful followers to chop the head off a drunk guy, murdering him in cold blood. This is after the follower asks God if it is really okay, because of the commandment not to kill. God says it is because in some special cases it is better to murder people.

"I posted religious stuff when I was a christian . . . and I was never challenged on any of my posts." ----- I think if we took the time to occasionally challenge such posts, some Christians might be freed from their mind prisons earlier than if we remain passively silent.

Keri Clark I posted religious stuff when I was a christian. I probably would have been ill equipped to handle most objections, and I was never challenged on any of my posts. Skepticism is more about challenging people to ask more questions than getting someone to stop posting silly god memes. And, its always better to challenge someone who already knows you're an awesome person. Openly secular day is coming up! Maybe you can post an openly secular post on your FB wall?

Oh My God How Condescending To Us As Women-I was raped while working alone at night in our elementary school library & when I called my parents my mother who was a JW told me I must have wanted it or I would have fought to the death to keep it from happening. At the time I was already disfellowshiped for 12yrs & being shunned by my mother & my older brother. I wound up in the psych ward for the thousandth time since the shunning started. She kidnapped my son repeatedly even taking him to a lawyer to try to intimidating him into signing papers saying he wanted her to raise him. He refused & I'm so proud of him. She lived 6hrs south of me & I wouldn't even know they were in town watching, waiting for me to leave, then stuff him in their car & hit the highway-he thought they were taking him to buy school clothes. One day after I'd been in a severe car accident, I was at my therapists when my room mate called & told me they were there again & I'd better hurry they were about to leave w.him again. I ran 6 blocks w/a crushed chest wall & made it there as they were pulling out of the driveway. I jumped in the backseat & wound up in CT several hrs later-not allowed to sleep inside & she wouldn't eat at the same table as me. I remember at 6 & 7yrs old kneeling before the toilet praying to God to take my life-I didn't know what suicide was then. I was ousted in '82. My brother who shuns me came to the psych ward gave me one of their bibles wrote his phone number inside it & told me he no longer considered me his sister & never to ever call him for any reason other than if I wanted to return to that religion. Kick 'em when they're down. He proceeded to find where my son was-at a close friends house till my release & convinced her I'd given my son to him. He took my son then 4.

Bonnie Wilson I am so sorry you had to go through that. Being disconnected from family and friends who should be helping you is terrible, its like they die, but its even worse when they disconnect from you but still interfere in your life. I don't have that experience, and I was never a Jehovah's Witness, so I can only imagine what that must be like. Thank you for sharing. It helps others going through the same thing.

Even though she was safe in South Korea, she would not let herself think any bad thoughts about the leader of North Korea, because she was afraid he could read her thoughts. Scary stuff.

one of the biggest moments in my deconversion, and probably what started everything was when i met this girl in college. i was raised in a typical evangelical community. we were basically taught that everyone who was different than us was wrong. So, Catholics, Gays, you know. This girl i met, she was both. And through her, i found out that catholics don't worship mary - which was a big eye opener to me. and then we were talking about sexuality being a choice. and she said "you're straight. When you imagine yourself in love, you see yourself with a man. That is what is right for you. You can't help those feelings. You can't decide to just like girls. I am the opposite. I fall for women. I just do not feel that way about men. You can't choose, and I can't choose. We just love who we love." These two things we talked about didn't in and of themselves make me reject god, but it started me on the journey to find out what was true in this world. And here I am.

Just watch political ads. The supported candidate uses bright hopeful music, lots of major 7ths and 9ths and transporting chord progressions with colorful graphics. The opponent is saddled with dark, ominous chords, lots of minors and alarming effects - usually with grainy b&w threatening shots. These folks know music is a tool.

The music certainly wasn't distracting. In fact, I had to go back and listen to even know it was used. It was buried in the mix and subtle which fit the presentation. Not corny at all. Music is a wonderful tool to establish a mood or move a narrative along and just as you prepare your arguments and frame your writing, you can use music as an ally in establishing the tone you are trying to achieve. You used it well in your "Story" vid and may have been needed in the Deconstructing Bible Atrocities playlist, but the right music would be tricky and some editing would definitely be needed. For example, Evid3nc3's amazing Deconversion series here on KZitem was a master lab on how to use music effectively.

Finally. Someone talking about the most under appreciated skill: editing. Like you, I love to write but realize my thoughts usually end up a jumbled mess and this video is a reminder that slowing down and re-writing is as important (no - more) as initial writing. So far your videos have all contained some fragments of ideas to think about, but this one is not about what to think, it's about how to think - a distinction missing from so much Internet conversation. I really found this valuable. Your process helps me to see beyond the ad hominems and snark and defensiveness (subject of your last video) and stay focused on communication. Great ideas. Keep it up.
