  Is Anthony Morris III gay?

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why else would he constantly bring up "gay-inspired" clothing when speaking to such large audiences?.

  nothing wrong with being gay.

  but he should just come out of the closet already and stop all this stupidity... just saying.. .

  Well, thumbs up to Barry then. At least he had the sense to recognize the benefits of higher education. I never saw the "logic" of the stand against it!

  Words that irritate

  by punkofnice in

  2. friends

  i have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.

  y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.

  arrrrggghhhhhh!

  This brought to mind another JW expression similar to what you just mentioned - "May that never be so!" or "Never may that be so!"

  Coming clean about certain things would ultimately result in an influx of lawsuits. They are stuck in a rut - not able to back down & not able to come clean entorely even if they wanted to

  "Jehovah's spirit is being blocked in the congregation"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, how many times have we heard this expression (or a variation of it):.

  "jehovah's spirit seems to be blocked here in the congregation...perhaps he is bringing something to light...etc".

  it seems that the org often uses this expression, and links it with the "fact" that god wont bless a cong as much,(or at all) if there is "stuff" or "sins" being carried out.. so, why is it then that the cong i am in is experiencing its best years of activity in all aspects?

  Cult classic, I've always felt guilty about masturbation as a teen, but a part of me reasoned that it was more tolerable to Jehovah compared to pre-marital sex, so I chose the lesser evil. To be honest, I didn't think about the flow of holy spirit in the cong, I was more concerned about finding a way to surpress my natural desires!

  Interview With An "Apostate": Just Kidding

  not all of these questions apply to me, so i will just leave an "-" for any which are irrelevant.

  tell us a little about yourself and your family.i am a young adult in my 20's with family still in.

  currently, it is totally impossible for me to leave due to family & business ties, as well as other reasons, so i am just lying low at the moment.
