  Also to listen to Tory Amos.

  No, it isn't only the old farts that listen to Tory. Its lesbians and old farts. I qualify on both counts. Yet STILL I found exjw's to meet up with me in Portland. So I have extremely high hopes for you finding new exjw friends, bisous.

  As for Dave, since he's an illustrator and I do design work too, maybe he can help me with the T-shirt I'm making. It's the Armeggedon World Tour t-shirt. Same as the concert ones, with all the dates the dubs have listed for it written down below. I think I could be a millionaire selling them for apostafests!

  And, since Dave is a yoonick and I'm a lesbian, we could make up a double batch of popcorn because I have perzactly the same problem with wimmen. (don't let my partner hear me say that!)

  BTW, this is HIGHLY entertaining!

  in my place of business, we were dealing with a guy, who in my opinion is a complete idiot.

  pain in the ass customer, but finally he purchased, and we are done with him.. during this time, i came to find out that he is a witness.

  i told him," oh yeah, i grew up as one.

  agree freedom, stay on good terms. and do not tell himhow u really feel.

  This is called Theocratic warefare, isn't it??
  Truthfully, I wouldn't tell them either. They may at some point come right out and ask you if you were ever baptised and if you are attending any other church. At that point you may have to come up with some evasion techniques. Good luck, hey bidness is bidness as Shrub would say.

  bisous, I'm not from Portland, I'm from just south of Seattle, but I just happened to be in Portland this weekend and met up with two very cool exjws for breakfast. If you can't get anyone from Portland to take you in, hey, come up here. I have yet to meet anyone from Seattle although they are purported to exist.

  The Sin of Sodom & Gomorrah in the Bible and Jewish Tradition

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm starting this thread to post some of my articles that originally appeared on a jokes thread which should probably better appear in the "bible research & study articles" folder.

  so here goes...... what was the sin, or sin(s) that sodom & gormorrah was judged for?

  the original account in genesis actually does not say.

  Leolaia,

  Thanks for this information. There has been so much research done on the fact that this parable or story was not about homosexual sex at all, yet most people will not look at this information if I send it to them or other gay people do because, of course, it "advances our agenda." Its so good to see a fair and impartial look at it without the usual rhetoric and dogma.

  Shunned twice today! How's it for you?

  engaging in the xmas shopping rush is never boring when you've got shunners in the mall!.

  will they just stare?

  will they perhaps smile?

  I have been out over a dozen years and don't live anywhere near where I went to the KH. But I believe that you can only be shunned if you let them get away with it. They want you to be uncomfortable, they want you to feel bad. And, they feel uplifted by doing it. It vindicates them for being "righteous" since it may force you back into the fold....

  So, beat them to the punch! Rush up to them, throw your arms around them and give them a big wet juicy kiss! Say, I'm SO happy I ran into you today! I always wanted to let one of you people know what a huge favor you did by disfellowshipping me (or appropriate other comment)! I am so happy! Life is so good! Well you take care, tell everyone I said hello! And bustle off on your merry way!

  I think that would be a good way to put the shoe on the other foot, huh? They will be the ones feeling uncomfortable! Seriously though, all kidding aside, they are always so shocked when we are happy in our lives outside. It's inconceivable to them.

  City Fan:

  Should I replace the star on my tree with a fairy??

  I hope that you're not thinking of impaling Gretchen. Why not just let her alone, particularly since she decided to be a nice little fairy by going elsewhere.

  No I haven't gone off elsewhere. But lucky for you I'm a good witch and not a bad witch. LOL

  Please send this information to Silent Lambs. It will greatly help them! They have been in the press denying that they are withholding this type of information from the authorities. Here is actual proof that they are not only freely withholding it, but going to court to try to protect the right to withhold it. In my state they are obligated by law to report sexual abuse cases, funny how that doesn't happen. I wonder if thats the theocratic warfare thing at work again?

  What a great idea! I wonder if they could actually use the name Jehovah's Witnesses or if they would get sued?
