never a jw, "Only in America"
I would not say only in America, the Muslim states make that obvious, but it's just the harbinger of things to come. As the article mentioned, they have a religious police, the "God squad", just like ISIS and Saudi Arabia have.

wow, what a great book.
i started reading it today and have not been able stop.
im already 80 pages in!
the hijab is one of a few headdresses worn by muslim women.
from what i can tell, it is supposed to hide the femininity of the woman.
because i'm sure as a muslim, it's going to all be the woman's fault if a man acts improperly due to attraction.. i don't agree with it, but hey, it's their religion and it doesn't hurt others, so have at it if you want to wear it.. let's face it.
sickening to see the photo of the religious zealots all stood around the governor signing into law the right for people to discriminate against others (gay, lesbian, trans-gender) based purely on religious dogma.. if religious people want those freedoms then the can't have it both ways - they cannot complain if *they* are discriminated against.. "sorry, we don't like zionists, get out".
"oh, it's some special mass and you can't work your shift?
you're fired!"..
@ violas,
"that would be very foolish of the gas station attendant ."
Foolishness defines such people.
"If he really hates gays, why does he want them hanging around his town? sell them the gas and they leave."
You have somewhat of a point there but the scenario is sufficient to make a moral point.

A gay couple are making a car trip across a long stretch of unpopulated dessert. The driver had figured he had enough gas to make it to his destination but sometime into the trip realized that the air conditioner was lowering his gas mileage. So he pulls over to the nearest gas station which is the last one for 50 miles.
He goes to the gas station attendant to fill up his tank. The gas station attendant refused him service because he and his partner look gay.
with the organization controlled, totally and completely by the governing body, what would the watchtower society do to hold it all together if all or most of the governing body were to die?.
would the legal department step in and issue orders?
would the rest of the gb quickly appoint new members?
"What would happen if all or most governing body died in some kind of accident?"

Marvin Shilmer, "If you excuse something for one then you excuse it for all., Right?"
Based on that logic what happens to a gay person when he/she is refused to buy food at a supermarket.
i stumbled upon this site about a week ago while googling a question.
the question was "why can't jw's have beards?
" i read the responses and realized the truth in them.
Welcome WasOnceBlind,
Don't know if you've read anything on the Witnesses but I highly recommend Crisis of Conscience (pdf) to show you how the Watchtower treats even those who are in a high position.

@ Marvin Shilmer,
"I asked myself why on earth was this gay couple ruining this woman's business when getting the flowers they wanted was as easy as going to the store next door?"
But what happens when everyone 'next door' decides to discriminate? A lot of small towns might have only one bakery or floral shop. And what happens when such discrimination is broadened to include racial origins?
