  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.

  i just skimmed the titled article on jw.org and once again the watchtower is misdirecting:.

  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20150301/jesus-death-and-resurrection/ .

  they try and make the old case that jesus saves us from being destroyed at armageddon.

  yogosans: "No Christians wants anyone to go to Hell. That's the point of sharing the Gospel."

  A most patronizing thing for one to say. The Inquisitors didn't want to see their victims go to hell either.

  Changed my avatar-And how did the Romans Execute You?

  been meaning to do that for a while - and just saw an article in bar (see below) and thought - that's how i feel today (grin) i've had the flu for 2 weeks and feel really pissed off.. sunday before last, my friend visiting from china, calls up and says come to dinner tonite, meet me at darling harbour.

  so did that, and even though we could've walked to the restaurant he'd selected in about 15 minutes, he decides (he's rather wealthy) we should take a water taxi to circular quay (for those who know sydney).

  i protested, as i knew it was expensive - $70 for a 10 minute ride.we're no sooner in the boat, than it starts to rain like hell, and before the boatmaster could get the curtains down, i was soaked on one side.

  What is the youngest age you know of being DF'd?

  i doubt that nothing has greater impact then a person being df'd - reading the current thread.. i have known many kids df'd at 15, and many baptized at 10 or 11, but none df'd.. i would imagine that the minimum must be about 13.. any younger than 15?.

  @ Brokeback Watchtower,

  "A very young girl in my congregation got molested by a ministerial servant and was DF'd at about 12 or 13."

  Was the ministerial servant disfellowshipped?

  California Attorney Tries to Pass a Ballot Advocating Genocide for Gays

  by Village Idiot in

  1. social
  2. current

  this ballot initiative put forth by matt mclaughlin, an attorney in southern california, would allow for the execution of gays by bullets to the head.

  mclaughlin has to gather 365,000 signatures to put it up for a vote.

  i'm in favor of gay rights but in my opinion this despicable ballot should make it to a vote knowing that it absolutely will not pass in order to publicize the demented mentality of fundamentalist christians in the united states.

  I didn't even think of revoking his license. There should definitely be a good case for doing that since he is overtly, unmistakably, advocating murder.

  This ballot initiative put forth by Matt McLaughlin, an attorney in Southern California, would allow for the execution of Gays by “bullets to the head”. McLaughlin has to gather 365,000 signatures to put it up for a vote.

  I'm in favor of gay rights but in my opinion this despicable ballot should make it to a vote knowing that it absolutely will not pass in order to publicize the demented mentality of Fundamentalist Christians in the United States. There are many Republican politicians who hold to this view although they will not dare admit it. These deranged people need to have the public spotlight shined on them.

  The full text is below:

  SODOMITE SUPPRESSION ACT Penal Code section 39

  a) The abominable crime against nature known as buggery, called also sodomy, is a monstrous evil that Almighty God, giver of freedom and liberty, commands us to suppress on pain of our utter destruction even as he overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha.

  b) Seeing that it is better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God's just wrath against us for the folly of tolerating-wickedness in our midst, the People of California wisely command, in the fear of God, that any person who willingly touches another person of the same gender for purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method.

  c) No person shall distribute, perform, or transmit sodomistic propaganda directly or indirectly by any means to any person under the age of majority. Sodomistic propaganda is defined as anything aimed at creating an interest in or an acceptance of human sexual relations other than between a man and a woman. Every offender shall be fined $1 million per occurrence, and/or imprisoned up to 10 years, and/or expelled from the boundaries of the state of California for up to life.

  d) No person shall serve in any public office, nor serve in public employment, nor enjoy any public benefit, who is a sodomite or who espouses sodomistic propaganda or who belongs to any group that does.

  e) This law is effective immediately and shall not be rendered ineffective nor invalidated by any court, state or federal, until heard by a quorum of the Supreme Court of California consisting only of judges who are neither sodomites nor subject to disqualification hereunder.

  f) The state has an affirmative duty to defend and enforce this law as written, and every member of the public has standing to seek its enforcement and obtain reimbursement for all costs and attorney's fees in so doing, and further, should the state persist in inaction over 1 year after due notice, the general public is empowered and deputized to execute all the provisions hereunder extra-judicially, immune from any charge and indemnified by the state against any and all liability.

  g) This law shall be known as 11The Sodomite Suppression Act" and be numbered as section 39 in Title 3 of the Penal Code, pertaining to offences against the sovereignty of the state. The text shall be prominently posted in every public school classroom. All laws in conflict with this law are to that extent invalid.

  Can you discredit "wait on jehovah to fix all evil" elder's padded line even told to victims of pedophiles?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  2. beliefs

  i am sick of being told this same crap after decades of suffering at the hands of wicked men and women, how many of you have had to fight these irrational expectations we are supposed to grin and smile when people are actively trying to screw with us and elders say .

  good it is that one should wait, even silently, for the salvation of jehovah (lamentations 3:26; titus 2:13).

  my life in the organization has not been entirely bad, there were many good people and plenty of jerks like you all experienced in this adventure we call life.

  I would turn the tables on them by telling them that "Jehovah is waiting for you to take action".
