  'allo, Tim mi'ol'duck. 'ow are ya? Missed you on the boards, lad!

  Just rest assured that when your friend wakes up we'll all be here to hear her story and help her.

  In the mean time you can see how her head is in scratched record mode.

  To her, the WBT$ cannot be wrong. Everyone and everything else is wrong. Even when the WBT$ is wrong they're NOT! It's everyone and everything else that's wrong, not the WBT$.

  She seems very sweet bless her. On the one hand she's so feeble that she can't escape the WBT$ 'mind cleansing' and on the other hand I have four fingers and a thumb...........no wait.............on the other hand she can't shun you because she's feeble. Bless her ol'cotton socks 'ay!

  Oh, well I feel sorry for her. It must be hell living your life trying to make everything fit into watchtower dubbie dreamland....when actually it can never fit!

  Nice to speak again lad!

  Here's the deal with Christianity: The core insists that we are all sinners because of an act that happened some 6,000 years before you were born. Jesus came down and paid the price with his own perfect life, ensuring a way out of this mess. That sacrifice is perfect, complete, and nothing ever need be added to it. You only need faith in that sacrifice in order to benefit from it.

  Now, where in that core is there room for exclusion because someone is homosexual? Absolutely nowhere. This is what happens when crap keeps being added to the core--whether Paul's teachings to Christianity or the Five Pillars to Islam, once you start adding things on, rules start coming along that are unnecessary. And when a church insists on adding its own rules, it gets even worse. They often start adding sexual activities that are taboo, and even separate the sexes (both Islam and Christianity are guilty of this). Eventually, everything gets so regulated that the original platform is totally defeated. For instance, how are you to do good works in the name of Allah when everything is so regulated that you are stifled from doing so? How are you to display faith that Jesus' sacrifice alone is enough when you are continually hounded to add more sacrifice to it?
