GAY SHEEP -- Scientists look for "cure."

openly gay tennis legend martina navratilova slams gay sheep experiments at oregon state university.

openly gay tennis icon martina navratilova is expressing outrage that oregon state university (osu) and oregon health & science university (ohsu) are spending millions of public tax dollars on unethical hormone-altering experiments on gay sheep that seek to manipulate sheeps sexual preferences and make them heterosexual.. ohsu experimenter charles roselli drugs fetal sheep in order to alter sex hormones in their brains, and he cuts open the brains of rams he calls male-oriented (homosexual) in an attempt to find the hormonal mechanisms behind homosexual tendencies so that they can subsequently be changed.

Confession
But as Satanus brings out, for years I have heard gay people say that they are not such by choice. 'Believe me,' they say, 'I would not have chosen to be homosexual.'
I'd imagine that this sentiment is not universal, but if a significant percentage of homosexuals truly wish they were not gay, wouldn't attempting to find a "solution" be a good thing for them?

I say, "To each their own," whatever they truly want to do...IF, they are not coerced by family, friends, religious beliefs, social pressure and governmental laws, etc. People that are gay usually give those very reasons as 'why' they "would not have chosen to be homosexual.'

Most folks simply want to be left alone to love who they want without being analysed by people who don't want to understand them. I'll bet even gays want that, too.

Speaking of governmental pressure, I read recently that there are over 75 countries that still prosecute homosexuals as being criminals. If caught, the sentences run from several years, to life imprisonment...to the deathpenalty.

You can read about the present state of 'humanity' in some countries here -- and even do something about it, too.

THE BACK PEDDLING HAS ALREADY BEGUN......

by Mary in

jw
friends

as i mentioned before in another thread, my dub aunt, along with several other witnesses, told me that they were specifically told that the governing body let it be known that tract work would trigger the beginning of the end by infuriating the other religions and somehow causing the governments to "turn on babylon the great".

this was supposed to start before the end of this year.

one thing i mentioned is that they were smart enough this time, not to put anything down in writing, but simply let it get around by "word of mouth".

Rabbit

Oh Rabbit will be pleased! I should be ok as well then, I shower every morning and evening, so I'm pretty clean myself. ~fullofdoubtnow

BB
There are those that will meet The Almighty as first fruits along with Jesus Christ even in this forum. Prince Rabbit is one of them. The rest have to wait until they are cleansed, AMEN.......

I am pleased, I think. So hit the showers all you dirty people and get in line behind me.

There is one teeny-weenie little issue I wanted to pass by ya', Brownboy, see-ee...I kinda sorta lean towards being ah, well, agnostic. Will that be any, uh, problem ? I may not believe 'The Almighty' really IS 'The Almighty' even if he shook my hand...I'll probably say it 'was just a dream' or a pot induced delusion or sumptin'...ya' know?

So-o...whaddya think...a problem ?

Btw, I don't know too much about 'faithful & discreet slaves', but, I think you'd do a better job than those rat bastards in Brooklyn. They're very dangerous and have caused the deaths of many JW's thru their blood, transplant & vaccination bans, as well as being responsible for the stress, suicides & psychological damage of their followers, too.

So, what are you doing to change the Watchtower's direction to 'saneness' since you, "...have authority over the W.T.S. as the faithful and discreet slave." ?

And to help Mary...what do you think about the 'back-peddling' the WT is doing over the tract and recent WT predictions ?

An Elder came up to me after he saw that I partook, at which time I revealed to him that I was the faithful slave. This happened in my local congregation.

Yeah...I'll bet he did. I would have loved to 'been a fly on the wall' to see the look on on his face! Did he excuse himself and run to the restroom? Were you invited to the library for consultation? I hope those rat bastards did not disfellowship you for having a little difference of opinion?

Btw, I wanted to ask you a favor, my friend Gumby has been going thru a rough time and he's a much better believer than I am, so-o...could you possibly make him a 'Prince in God's Kingdom', too? That would be cool.

Hey BB,

Are you still attending the meetings at the KH? I think I remember you were still going the last time you were here. If so, why? Have you had that heart-to-heart talk with the elders or the GB yet? (About your your straying from Watchtower road.)

Glad you are well.

A tribute to Moose

by cruzanheart in

jw
friends

our basset hound moose died this morning.

he was only 2 1/2 years old but he had addison's disease.

something caused internal bleeding and he went very quickly, which was merciful.

Rabbit

Awww...you guys... We are so sorry. That was a good dog, "Moose the Moocher." At the last Crawfest he stood at my feet, licking his lips, obviously admiring that I could eat as good as he could.

Losing a beloved pet is rough, but, Moose had a rich life and he made y'alls richer, too.

The term apostate is used freely on this forum, don't you find it offensive

by avidbiblereader in

jw
friends

i find the term apostate used freely towards those who have left the org, by both witnesses hiding and also ex witnesses calling themselves that.

don't you find that offensive.

i have been out for over 6 years and the last thing i consider myself is an apostate.

Rabbit

I must admit, I found it offensive when I first came here almost 3 years ago. I was soscared a mean ole' evildemonz was gonna jump out of the screen being [think Stargate] connected directly to -- apostates! But, nuttin' happened, honey.

Not too long ago, I was having a discussion with one of my jw (adult) children about some jw issues. They were trying to encourage me to 'come back, the end is SO near', I calmly mentioned a few things that I had 'doubts' about. All of the sudden...I was told, "You don't realize it, but, you're talking like -- an apossssssssssssssssssstate!" [think Satan speaking thru that sssssnake, "Psssssssssssssssttt ! Hey, you...naked lady, want an apple ?"] I almost laughed outloud at the reaction of my own kid to finding out some of my honest "doubts".

It was funny, because JW's think they are so sure of their Truth, yet, one or two well asked questions will send them into a panic, as they crumble realizing they have no logical answer. They run back to their 'safe place'. It was not funny tho' to be re-condemned and put on 'restrictions' by your own adult child for several months. Everything is good now with this kid, I have hope for the others. Slowly, surely my kid realizes she can trust me with doubts she has that she cannot discuss freely with any of her relatives.

JW's always said, "Where else can you go ? There IS no other place to go..." I know now there are many places to go and I'm going to make sure my kids know that, too.

Now...yep, it's a 'badge of honor', it's just a separation from my former way of life. That is a good thing.

WT blood rules causes needless deaths=bloodguilt=punishment from Jehovah

by moshe in

i called a kh this morning a little past 9 am and talked to a sister.

i told her i had moved into town and had studied a few years ago, but they wouldn't let me get baptised because i didn't accept the wt teachings about blood transfusions.

she was all excited, because they had a meeting about blood just this past week about that and she could answer my questions.

Rabbit

Moshe,

Thank you for that great line of reasoning. The 'starving man' illustration is very much to the point and something any dub should be able to get their minds around.

I will use that for sure with some of my jw realtives that might listen. I believe it will be a good 'seed planting' thought.

The Society's more permissive stance on blood fractions could kill my Mum!

by nicolaou in

we had my mum and dad down for a meal at the weekend.

me and mum have a kind of 'unspoken truce' going on where neither of us raise an issue in conversation that will lead to a discussion on any jw sensitive topics.

it's not perfect and it doesn't always work but at least we are maintaining a relationship of sorts.. anyway, knowing that this is the 'blood card' time of year i did take the chance on asking mum just what her personal stand on blood and fractions would be.

Rabbit

It's not just the 'older ones'...

Since I've had jw family (Mom) die over this insanity...I optimistically 'praised' (threw up a little) the WT's NewLight on the acceptable use of hemoglobin *now* to one of my JW children. I talked about the changes over the years and how 'great' it was that these fractions were 'OK' and 'no JC action would be taken against' a JW.

My 20 something child then horrified me by stating they had already signed the WT death warrant (blood card) saying "NO!" to any blood products! Why ? "Well, there's been so many changes, so, I think the safest thing is just to say, 'No' to everything.

I guess only one faithful and dead JW from my family is not enough sacrifice for the WT gods.
