  The New System, What will we remember?

  by drew sagan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the reason for this post is based on a conversation i had a few months ago with an elder and a very stubborn publisher.

  we where out in service and these two guys started talking about how in the new system everything of the past will be forgotten, "the former thigns will not be called to mind", you know how it goes.

  anyway i cound't take it anymore.

  ....and i'm not sure how to handle it.

  actually, if she were getting too close to a boy, i probably wouldn't know how to handle it either....lol.

  but, as a parent, i'm not sure how to talk to her about it, as it's something i'm familar with.

  So I am split. Let their posts stand? They do have the ring of insanity that sadly so many have had to experience. ; I think that any parent would be afraid that their child would have to deal with this nonsense and bigotry.

  Delete the posts? I sort of lean towards "know thy enemy"

  I'd keep 'em. I'm a fan of free speech, even when it's completely wrong.

  If god desires no one to be lost, why doesn't he just save everyone? Oh, nevermind, I bet he just prefers the sport of watching everyone and then picking the ones he really likes, and condemning the rest. Sounds like a merciful guy to me!

  I don't know exactly what I asking for, but I didn't know if anyone here has run across anything similar or has any suggestions....coming from a JW background, neither her dad or I want to react as our parents would have reacted.

  Coming from the perspective of someone who would have loved to have a parent willing to at least dicuss the issue, let me offer one bit of advice. Just make it clear you will love your daughter no matter what. Being homosexual leaves a person out of quite a few of the "norms" of society, so just having someone who understands and accepts is more important than you know. Be there for her, be willing to accept who she is, and support her in leading her life.

  I'm sorry I was only explaining homosexuality and then gave one solution to this behaviour.

  You didn't "explain" homosexuality, you gave your opinion of it. I have been attracted to guys all my life, but being surrounded by folks like you who want to claim that it's learned or somehow not inherent caused me years of denial and self-loathing. Now that I've come to grips with my feelings with the help of a really good friend, I finally feel free in my life. I'm happy to be me.

  You claim to offer a "solution" to the "behavior." You clearly don't understand, but homosexuality isn't a behavior, it's a physiological state. Gay folks aren't gay because they engage in homosexual sex, they're gay because they are attracted to the same sex. Just as you are attracted to the opposite sex (I'm assuming), I am attracted to the same sex. It's something I tried to deny mentally for more than a decade, but all the will power in the world didn't make me attracted to women.

  yesterday (monday) i was off school and work, and i told my mother i would go out in service.

  so monday morning i got up, got dressed, drove to the hall, and there was no one there.

  i fell asleep in my car while i waited, woke up to wave at a brother, then fell back asleep, and then woke up, looked around and left.
