[it gets under my skin when people post that a jw was df'd for being homosexual.
if one ever was df'd simply for being homosexual, one would have ample grounds for a lawsuit.
the comments in brackets are mine.].
Ex-elders here correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the elder's manual the Shepherding book mention that if it is found out that an individual JW spends the night at the house of a known homosexual of the same sex that would be grounds for disfellowshipping. I thought I remember seeing that in the elder's book.

christians are the single most widely persecuted religious group in the world today.
1. christian churches around the world have set apart the month of november to remember and pray for the persecuted church, through the international day of prayer for the persecuted church (idop).. 2. according to the u.s. department of state, christians in more than 60 countries face persecution from their governments or surrounding neighbors simply because of their belief in christ.. 3. with the exception of four official state-controlled churches in pyongyang, christians in north korea face the risk of detention in the prison camps, severe torture and, in some cases, execution for practicing their religious beliefs.
north koreans suspected of having contact with south korean or other foreign missionaries in china, and those caught in possession of a bible, have been known to be executed.. 4. in syria, christians are increasingly becoming the target of violent attacks.
Christians provoke a lot of their persecution.

it appears that many of the best music threads have been purged.
i can't imagine the formula that would eliminate such wonderousness while preserving "involuntary muscular contractions", but so it is.. the first offering.

have you ever seen lars and the real girl?
very funny, odd sense of humor.
have you seen rare exports?
i often have a pop at certain kinds of atheists but for a change i thought id have a pop at certain kinds of fellow christians.
on the last christen web site i was thrown out of there was much love for the conspiratorial view of the world.
they were mostly x witnesses who were very much still in its mind set.
"I have been close enough to the seats of power to see how it works."
For somebody to accuse somebody else of using "appeal to authority" and then you come out with a line that jgnat, do you expect people to appeal to your authority because you may have rubbed elbows with some people in power? Are you sure you are not guilty of your own confirmation bias?

they seem determined to undermine the us democracy and shut the government down hurting employees and veterans.. what a despicable bunch, hope they get their asses kicked for what they are doing..
Giordano,
Funny you didn't address any other part of my post but that one quote but just took what I said out of context. If you would have read the remainder of my post you would have seen that most of the young people cannot affford that since most are basically homeless and living with their parents. Hell a lot of young people cannot even support their kids and are having their grandparents raise them.
If you are going to address what I post, please address everything I say in my post and not just part of it.

BizzyBee,
can you elaborate on your sarcastic troll of a response please

there's just so much $$$ that people have.. the obama government continues to ignore simple mathematics, and you can't just keep adding taxes and increase fees and simply believe that everyone with a brain will think it's lovely..
Sure you can minimus, you can shove them other people to worry about. I have irresponsible relatives that do that all the time. I have a sister and nephew that is always in a bind since they can't manage their lives and they eventually have my mother to bail them out. Not only do they drain my mother financially they manage to live on government handouts since they know how to work the system instead of trying to better their lives through self improvement.

Minimus, people also will have to pay more for their insurance or medical care with ACA which will reduce their income but there are also other taxes that are added on in the market to pay for this legislation, like the indoor tanning bed tax of 10% which is one tax that I know of. There is no telling what other taxes they added on. It's all just a scam to rob Peter to pay Paul when Paul is already strapped and can barely afford to actually get to his job (if he is even lucky enough to have a job).
