What percentage of the population are gay?
by fulltimestudent induring the long debate on the question of gay marriage, there have been many competing answers to the question of, "how many people are gay?".
a very anti-gay christian minister in sydney, the reverend fred nile, (who is also a member of the state parliament) claims that the percentage is as low as 1%.. some university (u.of new south wales) research in sydney has suggested 5%, but the authors of the study cautioned that there was a problem in the fact that an unknown number of respondents would likely not admit to being gay.. there are other problems in asking the question.
for example, what does being gay mean?

truthseeker100, One should email this video link to the Watchtower (if that's possible) since some unsuspecting Governing Body member or Bethelite might be a regular Starbucks customer. -

This might be off topic but I just had to put it on a thread dealing with gays. Watch the whole video, particularly the 1:05 time mark.

Watchtower 6/28/2015 on 1st Christian Courage, Have the Courageous Watchtower Leaders Ever Condemned Radical Islam?
by skepticSam ini read blondie's great summary of today's watchtower lesson and thought about all the christians who died from various deaths for preaching the word and because they really believed what they preached the watchtower asked something of this sort, "if you were a christian in the early centuries, could you boldly stand up to all the exquisite tortures hurled at the first century christians because they were not afraid to take a stand for christ or be cowards to evil!".
are you aware of any condemnation made by the watchtower against radical islam or any actions showing their courage and being no part of this world?
they attack patient christian religions but what about others, where is their courage?.

skepticSam,
"The Watchtower has made scathing attacks against Christendom, where is this same courage when speaking about a religion that attacks homosexuals, puts atheists in prison if caught, cuts peoples hands off for stealing, stones men and women to death?"
Why should the Watchtower condemn ISIS for doing the same things that are mentioned in the Old Testament?

What would a Psychoanalyst think about Jehovah's mental health condition?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini think he would definitely diagnose him with a extremely violent form of narcissism, lugging around a huge shadow of denial, which makes him petty and homophobic, and those 100,000 animal sacrifice orgies he so very much enjoys are a sign of a serious greedy glutton.
no doubt this voracious hunger for burnt flesh of lowly animals stems from the energy need after he experiences a uncontrollable bursts of anger creating a vicious cycle he can not break free of so that the only thing that can save him and turn him less violent is a human sacrifice from his heavenly son incarnate to quell his terrible anger.. maybe some form of oedipus complex too?.

It might be my vision but it's a little hard to recognize the avatar as a bridge. The small size of our avatars require a contrast particularly between light and dark colors. -

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ - Matthew 25:35-36 New International Version

merk ch 16 says all believers of jesus will perform miracles....
by sowhatnow in15 he said to them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
16 whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 and these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.. 19 after the lord jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of god.

The book of Mark has two alternative endings, depending on the manuscript, indicating that one of those endings was not part of the original. The footnote on that scripture in the New International Version says:
"Mark 16:8 Some manuscripts have the following ending between verses 8 and 9, and one manuscript has it after verse 8 (omitting verses 9-20): Then they quickly reported all these instructions to those around Peter. After this, Jesus himself also sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen."
So that part of the scripture may not be 'authentic'.

We Lost Our Preaching MOJO, how do we get it back?
by skepticSam indoes anyone have any theories why our territory that's be reduced six or seven times over the last twenty years is not covered anymore?
we use to cover our area in less than six months and now nobody really keeps track of how the preaching work by territory is going.
is the advent of the mobile-literature machine why we don't see a zealous preaching spirit?

millie210: "If need be, the rocks will cry out."
Maybe they should put some of those rocks in their literature carts.

skepticSam,
"We Lost Our Preaching MOJO, how do we get it back?"
"...what are we going to do to get people motivated to preach more?"
Why should we want them to improve their performance?
