  sofia tells her mother that the teacher said it's fine if they live each other.

  then sofia's mother says: "thats wonderful.".

  I am genuinely shocked at how many people posting on the various threads addressing this topic don't get why this cartoon is so offensive.

  It's not just that it's telling children being gay is dangerous (which is bad enough in it's own right). It's also instructing kids to go out and tell other kids that being gay is dangerous. The little girl in the cartoon is expected to teach her classmate about a paradise that her Moms wouldn't ever be allowed to be a part of.

  JW children are already the school pariah. Instructing them to go around attacking the family structure of other kids is only go to make things that much worse for them. And be very hard on the kids who's parents are being singled out as "dangerous".

  This cartoon is not benign. Nor is it their "same old bigotry". Rather, this is a whole new low. Don't be deceived by the pixar animation and happy music. It's a disgusting piece of propaganda.

  Building 500 new kingdom halls?

  the wtbts has to know they aren't actually going to see their numbers significantly jump anytime soon/ever right?

  are they planning on cutting the rbc down to 1/10th the work force so they can actually slow down their kh projects instead of increasing them?

  or do they think their little website scheme is actually going to bring in more people?.

  The amount of cognitive dissonance the GB experiences everyday must be truly extraordinary. They make plans to build - only to have it fall apart. They make predictions about the end of generations - only to have them come and pass and fail. They talk about extraordinary growth - only to see their gains tapering off. They demand that brothers and sisters become more spiritually educated - only to have to dumb down their literature more and more to keep people in. They say the UN will turn on religion - only to watch it continue fighting for religious freedom. etc.

  I really don't understand WT "logic". Why boast about all the KH they're going to build and then cancel all projects a couple of months later?

  So weird. I honestly can't make heads or tails of this.

  All Gays Are Perverts

  by Coded Logic in

  "scientists may never resolve exactly how much of a role nature and nurturing play in same-sex attraction.

  but one thing is clear: all humans are born with the tendency to succumb to wrong thinking and inclinations.

  --romans 3:23. a youth who desires to please god must therefore conform to his moral standards and shun immoral behavior, though doing so may be agonizingly difficult.

  What would be wrong with two consenting adults of the same sex choosing to have a sexual relationship?

  My feelings exactly.

  Beliefs About What Caused the Universe

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the universe can be observed to be expanding.. an expanding universe must have had a beginning.

  whatever begins to exist had a cause.

  therefore the universe had a cause.

  Anything that begins to exist has a cause.

  This is not known to be true. We've never witnessed something "begin to exist" via a cause. Causation only applies to existing materials transitioning from one state into another state (nebulae into stars, trees into furniture, etc.)

  And the only thing we've ever witnessed "beginning to exist" are virtual particle pairs - which don't have a cause as far as we know.

  An expanding universe must of had a beginning.

  Once again, this is not known to be true. And if space-time began with the universe than saying "the universe began to exist" and "the universe has always existed" are identical statements.

  Shooting in the foot (homophobic video)

  by Syme in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with the newly released homophobic video by the wts, it gets clearer that those people can't stop shooting themselves in the foot.

  they are already under examination and de facto trial by the australian committee; more and more people and officials in western democracies inquire into their abusive tactics and put them under the microscope, and what do they do?

  they release a video which confirms those worries.

  Christianity expect men to deny this strong urge and stick to one partner for the rest of his life even though it may be very difficult. If this video were about a little girl who's school friend was upset because her parents were divorcing after the Daddy cheated on the Mommy, the JW mother would be explaining how Jehovah is against fornication and adultery and won't allow people who do that, into Paradise.

  -PZ

  The fact that you're trying to compare fornication to being gay is truly abysmal. One is about a person being selfish and betraying their spouses trust. The other is about two people who love each other developing their relationship and cultivating a sense of trust and affection between each other.

  This is the exact sort of bigotry I am referring to. It's a deep seeded intolerance towards anything that is different and an attempt to vilify it by false equivocation. Biblical pronouncements are not "standards". Their arbitrary statements without regard to human decency or the well being of sentient creatures.

  Yes, I read Pink News from time to time. I'm a gay man. So sue me. You have to understand the onus put on us to be fashion savvy and culturally up to date on every piece of celebrity garbage is not an easy stereotype to live up to.

  Anyway, was really glad to see this on their site. Apparently the latest JW cartoon has been getting a lot of attention and someone took the time to fix it:

  To me being Phobic about something, you have to have an irrational fear of it to the point that it is interupting your daily activities. It used to be that to be called intolerant, phobic or bigoted, you had to actually do something mean or harmful to someone else or be behaving irrationally.

  The witnesses black and white stance on homosexuality is extremely harmful to all the gay kids growing up in organisation. They are being told that their natural desire to love and to be loved is somehow evil. They are being told by their parents that they should never be in a relationship with someone whom they're attracted to because they're parents don't want them to die in the smoke and fire of armageddon which is "right around the corner".

  It that's not an irrational fear - if that's not a phobia - I don't know what is.

  Understanding The Bible ... The "Linchpin" Effect

  understanding the holy bible.. .

  after many years of study of scripture, our bible study group has discovered something very important that needs to be realized or absorbed, before one can come to a correct understanding of the bible.

  we call it, the "linchpin" effect... .
