  Cofty,

  Why not have them sanction gay weddings. Turning a place of worship into a house of commerce is condemned in the bible also but they make allowances for that with their debit/credit card machines in their worship centers. Overlapping generation equalling 1 generation isn't biblical either. Jesus was silent about homosexuality. Isn't he is the one to closely follow and not Paul (was was the one who condemned men being together in his letters)?

  In looking at the definition of discrimination, I think the cartoon shows an element of bias toward heterosexuality, shows an element of bigotry, one-sidedness and demonstrates favoritism of straights over gays

  dis·crim·i·na·tion

  dəˌskriməˈnāSH(ə)n/

  noun

  noun: discrimination; plural noun: discriminations

  1. 1.

     the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.

     "victims of racial discrimination"

     synonyms:

     prejudice, bias, bigotry, intolerance, narrow-mindedness, unfairness, inequity, favoritism, one-sidedness, partisanship;

  I don't know if it is "homophobic" but it certainly dehumanizes a demographic and promotes bigotry and perpetuates a lie that gays have a choice.

  Prince and addictive drugs…a possible loophole?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to the elder's rulebook, there is this addendum in the chapter on the grounds for judicial committee and the section: "misuse of addictive drugs":.

  please note: the use of addictive drugs under medical supervision, such as for pain management, would not necessarily require judicial review.

  when questions arise, consult with the branch office.. .

  It's rich seeing Doubtfully Yours judging gays as deviant and at the same time going to sites like this while being an active JW, but that's typical hippocritical and judgemental JW behavior.

  the new awake is up on jw.orgwith the legalization of gay marriage in many countries, they decided it was time to show: "what does thebible say about homosexuality?

  "does the bible promote prejudice?still, some people would say that the bible promotes prejudice against homosexuals and that those who adhere to itsmoral code are intolerant.

  ‘the bible was written at a time when people were narrow-minded,’ they claim.

  Jesus didn't say anything about homosexuality. Paul condemned homosexuality but I think he was a fraud like Rutherford was.

  with last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.

  Heterosexual privilege checklist

  This list is based on Peggy McIntosh’s article on white privilege. These dynamics are but a few examples of the privilege which heterosexual people have. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer-identified folk have a range of different experiences, but cannot count on most of these conditions in their lives.

  On a daily basis as a heterosexual person…

  1. I can be pretty sure that my roommates, hall-mates and classmates will be comfortable with my sexual orientation.

  2. If I pick up a magazine, watch TV, or play music, I can be certain my sexual orientation will be represented.

  3. When I talk about my heterosexuality (such as in a joke or talking about my relationships), I will not be accused of pushing my sexual orientation onto others.

  4. I do not have to fear that if my family or friends find out about my sexual orientation there will be economic, emotional, physical or psychological consequences.

  5. I did not grow up with games that attack my sexual orientation (i.e., fag tag or smear the queer).

  6. I am not accused of being abused, warped or psychologically confused because of my sexual orientation.

  7. I can go home from most meetings, classes, and conversations without feeling excluded, fearful, attacked, isolated, outnumbered, unheard, held at a distance, stereotyped or feared because of my sexual orientation.

  8. I am never asked to speak for everyone who is heterosexual.

  9. I can be sure that my classes will require curricular materials that testify to the existence of people with my sexual orientation.

  10. People don't ask why I made my choice of sexual orientation.

  11. People don't ask why I made my choice to be public about my sexual orientation.

  12. I do not have to fear revealing my sexual orientation to friends or family. It's assumed.

  13. My sexual orientation was never associated with a closet.

  14. People of my gender do not try to convince me to change my sexual orientation.

  15. I don't have to defend my heterosexuality.

  16. I can easily find a religious community that will not exclude me for being heterosexual.

  17. I can count on finding a therapist or doctor willing and able to talk about my sexuality.

  18. I am guaranteed to find sex education literature for couples with my sexual orientation.

  19. Because of my sexual orientation, I do not need to worry that people will harass me.

  20. I have no need to qualify my straight identity.

  21. My masculinity/femininity is not challenged because of my sexual orientation.

  22. I am not identified by my sexual orientation.

  23. I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help my sexual orientation will not work against me.

  24. If my day, week, or year is going badly, I need not ask of each negative episode or situation whether it has sexual orientation overtones.

  25. Whether I rent or I go to a movie theater, I can be sure I will not have trouble finding my sexual orientation represented.

  26. I am guaranteed to find people of my sexual orientation represented in the MIT curriculum, faculty, and administration.

  27. I can walk in public with my significant other and not have people double-take or stare.

  28. I can choose to not think politically about my sexual orientation.

  29. I do not have to worry about telling my roommate about my sexuality. It is assumed I am a heterosexual.

  30. I can remain oblivious of the language and culture of LGBT folk without feeling in my culture any penalty for such oblivion.

  31. I can go for months without being called straight.

  32. I'm not grouped because of my sexual orientation.

  33. My individual behavior does not reflect on people who identity as heterosexual.

  34. In everyday conversation, the language my friends and I use generally assumes my sexual orientation. For example, sex inappropriately is referring to only heterosexual sex or family meaning heterosexual relationships with kids.

  35. People do not assume I am experienced in sex or that I even have it merely because of my sexual orientation.

  36. I can kiss a person of the opposite gender without being watched and stared at.

  37. Nobody calls me straight with maliciousness.

  38. People can use terms that describe my sexual orientation and mean positive things (i.e., "straight as an arrow", "standing up straight" or "straightened out") instead of demeaning terms (i.e, "that's gay" or being "queer").

  39. I am not asked to think about why I am straight.

  40. I can be open about my sexual orientation without worrying about my job.
