You'd better watch how you walk, man! And watch how you talk, that thus you may be alert and wise.

Just can't get this out of my head
by jt stumbler inbeing recently self-dissassociated, i cannot get out of my head something that happened to me more than 20 years ago.
having studied much in my youth, and being the submarine witness that i was, i married at 19 and began my "worldly coarse".
i just knew it was the "truth".

I think we answer our own prayers on most of this stuff, just by "finding" some meaning (real or imagined) in the daily events of our lives. If you had opened the door to find an encyclopedia salesman, would you have taken that as a sign from God that you should start selling encyclopedia sets instead of the borg's little books & magazines?

Homosexuality and how should a JW or 'Study' view it?
by AnitainFlorida ini am sure the subject is not very descriptive and for this i appologize.. i would like some assistnace in biblical references that say how homosexuality should be viewed and how one should deal with another that is homosexual or that has homosexual friends even if they non study's daughter says she and this other girl aren't 'doing anything'.
i know this is long winded, so i will just now finally get to the point.. i am a grandmother that has recently taken back up studying after a 1-2 year pause.
when i had first started studying, my daughter was also studying and we had our study togeather as i was staying with she and her husband because she had medical trouble and could not care for their 3 children when he was gone to work.

Leolaia, you're forgetting Genesis 1:26 ... "Let us make man in our image." And if God made man in His image ... since most guys get turned on watching two chicks go at it ... you can infer that the Almighty also likes watching women together. :-P
Bottom line: some biblical passage make specific reference to both male and female acts. Pauls' scriptures refer specifically only to male acts.
Ergo, even the Apostle Paul liked the notion of girl-on-girl. -

"In my days I've done many things that didn't bother my conscious, yet, by todays standards of the org. I would be labeled as a worldly person"
Are you kidding? Had they known, I would have had my butt kicked out the front door of the kingdumb hall ... they might have even broken my bong! -

The Pope is NOT the voice of God on Earth
by Survive1999 ini have always been a little bit puzzled by jws loudly proclaiming that the pope is not the "voice of god on earth", and turning around and vernerating the watchtower as "the voice of god on earth.".
i have repeatedly told jws to apply the same standard you do against the pope to the watchtower and you will be more than a bit dissapointed.
the best answer i could ever get was, "well that's different".. can any exjws explain this?

" I guess my question should have been what is the "official WT stance" on a question like that." When I was a kid, their stance would have been that they are directed by G Hoover's Holy Spirit, and therefore are God's true representaive on earth. The Pope, on the other hand, is the head of Christendom (represented by the great harlot in Revelations) and is a whore to the world and will soon be destroyed ... probably even before 1975.

Well, I'll try my best as an ex-dub to explain it.
the pope ain't the voice of God on earth. Neither is the Borg. You are. So am I. We're His voice & legacy ... we're His genetically modified experiment gone wrong. -

help me!
by kerseygurl inwhere do i begin?
i can't believe i'm even here...i am a 20 year old female and have been dating a jehovah's witness for 4 and 1/2 years.
until recently, we've been completely and utterly devoted to each other.

Well, the only thing that worked for me, kerseygurl, was to basically tell my dad that he could kiss my ass when I was 18. He didn't like the future Mrs. O because she was Catholic (in spite of the fact that he married a Methodist). Either your guy has the wherewithall to start charting a common course with you, or he doesn't. And if he doesn't, you're better off without him. That's probably not an easy thing for you to consider at this point in your life, but you really have to ask youself whether you'e willing to put up with 10 or 20 or 40 years of strife because of a man who holds more tightly to his parents instead of his mate. In the end, a long term relationship is about the people who formed it. It's not about parents or siblings or even children ... because those children grow & go on to make their own lives. (And if you've built your marriage on them, what will you do when they're gone?) It's about the two of you.

"Dan-O....I think you may have missed Romans 1:26-27"
Nope. Not at all. I read that book front to back, including Romans. I still can't remember anything specifically discouraging lick sisters. And I've heard those who claim that Paul's statement in that passage refers to women who go 'contrary to nature' by assuming headship over their man or by aborting their children or whatever. I disagree with their presumptions.
