1NZ Parliament Agrees to Gay Marriage and the house sings a love song
by fulltimestudent innew zealand has its problems like any other country, but it also has a nice level of tolerance.
it did once incur the anger of uncle sam for refusing to let nuclear powered warships usse nz harbours, but i think uncle sam managed to cope with that.. perhaps nothing else demonstrates the tolerance of the country as the big margin (in the house vote) by which gay marriage became law.. hope these can be seen in other countries:.

My family and I attend an Evangelical Anglican church and I can thoroughly recommend this type of church. The bible is read at church both the old and new testament . The Apostles creed is recited , Anglicans stand to sing, sit for instruction and kneel to pray. The local Anglican church is conservative so no female priests and no homosexual lifestyle but there are female priests in canberra Barry

'WOW. What a beautiful film! Thanks to those featured in the film for being so vulnerable and real -it took great courage to tell your stories the way you did, and we were humbled and deeply toughed by your witness. I can,t imagine anyone seeing this and not being profoundly moved by it. and thanks to La Sierra university church for being brave enough to host this event. It was as awsome spirit filled experience. Lorelei Cress.
Of course this film is being shown not only in churches but at Melbourne Queer Film Festival , Seattle lesbian and Gay film festival.
For such a film as this to be accepted by many SDA is something of a miracle and is about two gay couples and one lesbian couple and their relationship with the church. The SDA church is allmost as conservative as the witnesses.
This from Roy Gane professor SDA theological seminary Andrews university, 'Whatever ones position regarding homosexuals and the church may be this film is worth seeing because it candidly probes issues with real human faces and stories'

Loubelle, Sounds like you have been affected by the prosperity gospel. I have heard in Africa they preach all the time about money and how you will be blessed if you just give more to the church. I have some friends that go to Africa in their holidays and help in the churches their. Barry

Good time for R&F to preemptively question GB validity
by irondork inwith the new light in the july 15 watchtower, now might be the perfect time for rank and file members to question wether or not the big boys are who they say they are.
in light of the fact that the men who claim to be the sole channel of communication for all mankind could not even grasp their own identity for the last 100 years, wouldn't now be a good time to turn the tables on the elders who are so quick to drag a questioning dub to the back room and demand loyalty to the governing body?.
wouldn't now be a good time to put the july 15 watchtower in the middle of the table and ask to see the credentials on these men without fear of being suspected of apostacy?

Ive allways believed all it needs is for someone to find a chink in their armour and to drive a wedge there. Once pluralism is established there is no going back the elders then lose their authority.
