  On the Relevancy of The Institutionalization of Sin

  by Perry in

  child murder, sodomy & corrupting the human genome are not new sins, they are old ones.

  what is new is their institutionalization.

  but even that isn't totally new.

  "Child murder, Sodomy & corrupting the Human Genome are not new sins"

  correct! The god of the bible has murdered more children, in the flood alone, than all men combined. But what does child murder have to with gay marriage....? As for "corrupting the human genome... Dear Thor perry, what in the hell are you talking about...? How does legalizing gay marriage corrupt the human genome? Do you know what those words mean? Behavior cannot corrupt genes. But lets look at the rest of your sentance....

  "What is new is their institutionalization. But even that isn't totally new. It's all happened before..... before the flood and in Sodom & Gomorrah"

  Do you see what you did there, perry? You were trying to be cute and tie in sodom and gomorrah to current events... But it was so clumsy you showed your CD. See it...? Let me help. You state "whats new is their institutionalization". Then you immediately state "but even that isnt totally new". Which is it perry? Is it new or is not new? The referance from the bible claims to be from about 4,000 years ago, not new new by any stretch of imagination. You are also appealing to the ancient example of sodom and gomorrah as an appeal to history, implying that the same way the desert god to action against them he will take action today... But you cant have it both ways. It cant be new and old. Thats text book cognitive dissonance.

  I agree with OTWO that this type of thing is your cry for help. Your mind knows something wrong and you want help sorting it out. You come here knowing you will get help. Its really ok perry. Continue to think and reason. It only gets better.

  I wont pick apart your whole post as it would take all day but there is one other statment that i feel personally compelled to comment on:

  "I am against practicing homosexuality for one reason only, God says no. I am certainly against the institutionalization of it for the same reason, and no other. God also says no to adultery and a number of other things that some people find pleasurable."

  😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
  

  I cant even begin to address this without my rins hurting... Dont worry perry it will all make more sense as you slowly reason and accept the obviousness of the truth.

  Ironically in the end i agree with your premise. Gay marriage shouldnt have been legalized.. But then i dont think ANY marriage should be legalized. Nobody needs the states approval to love and live together, to decide to raise children or not, to buy property together or not etc etc. A different thread though, i suppose....

  Wow are those from the branch?? What a switch from the days when we were told not to bring coloring books for kids or entertain them as less than adults. No sunday school, no sir! Our kids sit with us and get the same indoctrination. Just wow.... This is definatly aimed at retention of kids, giving them something to relate to. In the way My generation that grew up on transformers these kids will grow up on these two pod people and look back fondly on them, quoting them word for word. Its scary scary smart and manipulative

  JW's and Violence

  by TD in

  2. friends

  my wife and i have recently gotten hooked on the history channel's series, vikings.

  (my wife is full blooded norwegian....).

  to be honest, the show is quite graphic in spots, but certainly no more so than a history book i own of the same time period.. anyhow, we made the mistake of mentioning the show if front of jw's last night and they were all thoroughly shocked that we watch it.. i tried pointing out that big chunks of the ot are not materially different and that even the confrontation between david and goliath would get an 'r' rating if it were visually portrayed in any detail at all.

  Hi TD.... I agree that its an individual dubjie thing but i have long noted in my area that they will condemn a paper cut on a tv show and cheer when david cuts 100 forskins off of his slain enemies

  How are the JW's reacting to the new USA gay marriage laws?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  personally i think this is wonderful.

  i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.

  a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.

  I havent heard a peep but it was just yesterday.... My sense of it is we will hear the typical 'oh its a sign of the last days, declining morality' blah blah... In the washington metropolitan area its a common thing to run across or interact with homosexuals. Once you stop seeing them as "gay" and start seeing them as people even most witnesses get over it. They will make broad statments about homosexuality but its not going to phase them personally all that much locally.

  Slow motion pioneers

  by 1Averagejoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  observing our local unemployed pioneers and how long they take to get to their first or next call, usually taking the longest route to get to one they know won't be there anyway.

  along the way it's gossipy this and that.

  pioneers?

  Yea i too pioneered when it was 90 hours and worked a regular job... Sigh..... I would say even then (early 90's) there was a definite social element but that serious element was strong. Now it really does seem to have swung to be almost totally social. Not just people standing at carts, in all phases. They tap lightly on doors, they slow walk all the time, return visits are always people not at home. Its always too hot or too cold or too rainy.. In the old days it was neither rain nor sleet....

  its awesome! Nothing better than seeing a doomsday cult peter along with no real sense of urgency :)

  The Bible is NOT Error-Free

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for many christians, the bible is viewed as the 100% error-free, perfect book straight from god, where every single word was carefully chosen by god for a reason.

  but, usually, when you have a discussion on the topic, these christians will end up saying that only the original copies written directly from the hands of the prophets and apostles were error-free, and all manuscript copies since then are subject to copyist mistakes and other errors.. since zero original copies are in existence, how do we know the originals were error-free?

  why should we think the originals should be error-free to begin with?

  The Confederate Flag

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  the latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.

  he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.

  not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.

  Im not suggesting anything. I posted a random link in response to your preposterous assertion that white people randomly kill black people and are not held accountable. I continue to love the level of insanity that racist propaganda degrades to...
