Your posts and attitude is abhorrent. Just sayin'
...right from a pro-jw site in response to a post about the relative seriousness of homosexuality.
all you can do is reason from the scriptures, which you appear to have done.
homosexuality is as serious as bestiality, or adultery and fornication.

i also heard the video was being discussed on howard stern today.

I can just hear JWs now:
"We don't adopt the standards of the world, we base our morals on Jehovah's standards and because of this JWs should expect this type of backlash of persecution we have been experiencing in the media out in the world"..... So they will appear more self righteous and feel more "in the truth" because of the persecution complex they have.

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.
Basic core teaching of Christianity. Nothing unique to just JWs.

disgusting!.
I am actually taken back at all this outrage. A lot of people here expressing this outrage had been going to the kingdom hall for years and heard all this vitriol from JWs in and out of the kingdom hall but apparently didn’t have a problem with homophobia until something happened to them personally, more than likely that didn’t have anything to do with homosexuality, but now that they are out of the kingdom hall and no longer a JW they express this outrage at an anti-gay message they send out. Surprise everyone! Despite a few legal victories the LGBT may have won through the courts, gays are still treated and viewed like “backdoor n***rs” of the 50s in many places and that kind of treatment is endorsed in the guise of religious liberty.

Most if not all adults who are anti-gay and have children teach them that homosexuality is bad and a lot of kids pick that stuff up very early in school on the playground so this video doesn't really surprise me. I'm used to this sort of masked hate or strong aversion toward people who are gay since I have had to deal with it all my life even before I even knew or accepted the fact that I liked guys. Nothing new here!

"I wouldn't describe this as inciting hate"
It is inciting self-hate for the gay person watching the video. Anybody who identifies as gay in the organization and views this video just has their self hated reinforced, so it incites hate in that way.

Here's the thing: These devout JW parents want their kids to grow up JW and remain JW throughout their lives. They sincerely believe is the best way for their children to live their lives.
DY:
If these JW parents are as "devout" as they say, they wouldn't even have children to begin with "deep into the conclusion of the system of things" when "armageddon could come at any time".

enlarge the picture.
music: both rap and heavy metal music have recently come under increasing fire for similar content problems.
songs that glorify the sexual degradation and abuse of women, violence and hatred toward various races and policemen, and even satanism have all been found among rap and heavy metal records.
I remember reading an awake article that was making reference to his song Darling Nikki when the Purple Rain album came out, discussing the immorality of the music back then but I don't remember the date of the magazine.

"it’s official: secretary of the treasury jack lew has announced that abolitionist harriet tubman will replace president andrew jackson on the $20 bill.
and, while jackson will still reportedly remain on the reverse side of the bill, the move is nonetheless a momentous one.. .
"naturally there are many people who will complain about this decision, but since tubman’s legacy leading slaves to freedom through the underground railroad is beyond reproach, these critics will most likely turn to defending jackson.
Ironic that a corporation like The Federal Reserve that exists to enslave everybody in America would put a former slave who turned into an antislavery activist on their currency.

"from 1955 till present, popular music has declined to the point where it is now consistently "stupid" and homogenous.
".
When you think about the nominees for the Grammy song of the year in 1971 choices being Let It Be by the The Beatles, Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel, Close To You by The Carpenters, Everything Is Beatiful by Ray Stevens and Fire And Rain by the James Taylor and think about the songs released today there is no comparison to the music now and the music back then.
