Hi, I just saw someone on the board mentioning his fraternal twin brother and it got me thinking about identical twins and their religiosity. Do u have some stories? As identical twins have same dna it would be interesting to know if they react to cults in the same way.

There used to be a cult called Children Of God - The Family, they were active in 70s but because they "loved children" the group was hunted down and broken by governments of many countries. People just didn't tolerate pedos in their neighborhoods. The group still exists but from what I read is very small. Scientology was very active everyone was afraid of them and then bum books, mo

If I was a mormon child I would tell my grandparents "only bike or watch as gift". Than what would the bishop do, take away a freakin wheel?. Ok I do not want a bike why do I need a bike if I have to tithe a wheel out of it. I want a freaking teddy bear. Deal with it LDS. :)

You got it all wrong. LDS is not against those children gaining priesthood it is against them being demoralized by sinful gay parents. They are 12 so they can move out, run away, live on the streets (they will start tithing earlier), or maybe the church will build them compound where they can live with LDS leaders. You know these children are only few dozen months shy of 15 years so if a girl is

Sorry for silly questions but do mormon children have to pay tithing on pocket money. Than if such a child is given allowances from state (or charity) does it have to tithe. Also if someone is adult but disabled, can not work and has money donated by either family, charities or state how about tithing. If one is not receiving pension from state (for example because of living in a failed state) b

That is the thing religion is their culture. There are some countries where if you leave religion you somehow betray your country and tradition. Mostly it pertains to eastern orthodox countries like Serbia, Greece, Romania, Georgia to name ones that come to my mind first.

Wasn't on the forum few days so sorry for answering with such a delay. The church in Poland is practically nonexistent.

Few months ago Russia enacted laws against proselytism. Since that time pressure on so called non traditional churches has intensified.
