JUMP TO FORUM DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SUGGESTED THEME

This discussion contains all Slovenian population. Some kind of escape from religion, is in Slovenia very spread concept, because a lot of people have all Christian sacraments, but they are not connected with religion any more, actually they just stopped to believe.

Our focus is based on more or less unknown or smaller religion communities in Slovenia, like Jehovah witnesses or Islam community, which have migrated in Slovenia. So, religions which have stricter laws or manners are harder to be abandoned by a common man (mostly because of their consequences).

For now we have just two examples, but we will find some more:

First example- when a young man at age of 17, did not want to be a member of Jehovah witness anymore. The problem started, when he expressed his wish to the elders. They have a simple rule; what happens inside, stays inside. So, when he retired from the community, certain bigger problems appeared- he had disagreements with his family, he received several threats, he was being followed.

Secondly, here is an example of a foreign student, who is currently studying at high school in Slovenia. He fled from an Islamic country and he has been here for a while, but he is still not formally "in Slovenia". He immigrated strictly of a religious cause- just because of his family disapproved with Islam culture, he was banished, and his parents were murdered.

Stories like his, are also common in Slovenia, mostly at the population of southern Balkan, which migrated in Slovenia because of work, or other reasons. And of course, they brought there children with them, and with them, their normal puberty problems. So, at the end of all ends, youngsters fall in love...And as we all know, love has no time, no religion, and no laws. But, the laws are made by the grown-ups, so most of the kids, after certain period of time, decide to abandon the almighty faith.

How they do that, and what happens with them after, we will do our best trying bravely to explore.
