What kind of religion puts you in a room, alone, as a teenager, with a 50-year-old man who is asking you about your sexual habits? What kind of religion has billions of dollars in real estate investments?
Turns out that’s pretty much all of them.
What kind of religion requires you to ring people’s doorbells and pester them about your religion?
Honestly, I weirdly respect this. The JWs/Mormons at least take their obligations from 1 peter 3:15 seriously. The vast majority of Christian denominations just kind of ignore that one.
Turns out you kinda have to ignore most of what God tells you to do, just so you don’t end up in jail. But I do respect that they’re actually more of the Bible seriously. The outcomes are worse, but they DO stand for what they believe.
I just wish they put all that dedication into something like doctors without borders or something.
The evangelical / nondenominational churches are honestly the ones I like best in that regard, with owning land/businesses. They are almost never some weird real estate owning corporation behind the scenes, just a collection of locals who pooled money and built a church. I don’t agree with their religion or beliefs, but that’s different.

And thank god for that.
Oh yeah, fewer people ringing my doorbell is always better.
Indeed!
Though my doorbell is unplugged anyway lol
