I slept in my first weekend in the world. Does that count?
Ah, the simple pleasures.
when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.
for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.
i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.

recent broadcast have gerrit losch talking about not holding a grudge and in septembers broadcast david splain talking about not demanding an apology after being wronged.
the subject of forgiveness and revenge is one of many examples of moral contradictions in the bible.
the book 1984 mentioned the terms double think and double speak.
11:20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.” Matthew 11:20-24 New International Version

23-34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34 New International Version

Lost my virginity to a prostitute.
I know, you didn't want to hear that.
china has just switched on its 500 metre diameter radio telescope, nearly twice as large as the previous largest.
among other things it is tasked to do, it will eventually be programmed to look for and analyse radio waves that may have a non-natural origin.. so will the scientists manning this facility eventually hear yhwh and jesus having a chat?.

l know animals do it but their animals.they dont live by a moral code.the thought of 2 men going for it is not normal.what are your thoughts?.
joe134cd,
If you gay then so be it. But the act itself disgusts me.
Viviane,
Why? What are you afraid of?
It's not fear Viviane, it's just an innate feeling that heterosexual men have of viewing gay men - not women - in the act of sex. This applies to politically liberal men.
i may not have put this in the correct spot, but i do think it's scandalous the way time gets counted now.
i've seen a cart at the edge of our farmer's market, never anyone close enough to talk.
yesterday was a drizzly day and there were two carts set up, covered in plastic, "witnessing" on their own.
As I said elsewhere, they'll have robotic trolleys with AI language skills and mechanical arms to hand out literature. The robot maintenance brothers will get to count their time.

Now I'm seeing gay ads on the upper right of this page.
just found out last night that our congo is starting a campaign to invite interested people to meetings.
the instructions for the campaign clear out that "interested" people are not just those whom we visit often or have bible studies with.
it includes and random stranger we may talk to and who may show a hint of interest on the religion.
Next they'll have robotic trolleys with AI language skills and mechanical arms to hand out literature.

stan livedeath,
its just the words and phrases that dont seem right.
Words and phrases are given meaning by our feelings and our subconscious. Different people project different meanings into the same words.
another example. when one partner in a gay marriage refers to his partner as " my husband ". does that imply he regards himself as the wife in the relationship ?
I used to think that until I realized that they refer to each other as "my partner".

Perry,
I think you have to first figure out by what authority you define "normal".
Yes I know Perry; the word of a demon god that executed people for carrying firewood on the Sabbath and forced a rape victim to marry her rapist is your standard of normality.
