  Implications of gay marriage ruling

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. social
  2. current

  while many think that the ruling is good for the gays and their response is: how does that affect your marriage; then on the other side the religious people cry god and sinners.

  but both are missing the forest through the trees.. the problem with the ruling is that which is discussed here so many times.

  five unelected federal officials decided on policy for the whole country, running roughshod over every democratic principle.

  I see no one here has seen South Park. Funny then how the term "cheesypoofs" is understood. Oh well, my bad.

  there are literally about thirty young single very good looking sisters in this one kingdom hall under the age of 30. that is just one kingdom hall.

  in the circuit there are literally hundreds of young beautiful jw girls under 30 who are single and anxious to get married.

  about two years ago, this one single good looking brother who is about 30 years old and who is an elder married this plain looking sister who is 59 years old.

  Demons

  this isn't a joke and i don't post here often but i had a conversation with my grandma i found comical and thought i'd share.

  my uncle lives far away and my grandma wants to go visit him but says she is afraid of the demons in his rental home.

  she is afraid a demon might follow her home.

  This is like on of those Jeff Foxworthy jokes, "You might be redneck...."

  If you don't go see someone because you're afraid of bringing back a demon...you just might be a jw!

  If every once in a while you throw away things you bought at yard sales because they might have demons....you just might be a jw!

  If you don't buy a Ford Taurus because it might have a demon....you just might be a jw!

  If you find yourself burning clothes and are amazed that a non-flammable material doesn't burn easy....you just might be a jw!

  Guns. Well said Mr President, if only your countrymen had the same courage to consider changing course.

  ive had to make statements like this too many times.

  communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this too many times.

  once again, communities [were harmed] because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no problem getting their hands on a gun.. lets be clear: at some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.

  Why is banning guns the only thing that pro-gun people think that the left wants?

  Did Joe Biden recommend people getting a shotgun for home protection?

  This little shit was given a gun as a gift from his dad (or so I've heard on the news), is giving gifts to some crazy racist appropriate?

  The right wing wants voters to present an I.D. to vote. Is it really such a problem to make sure the buyer of a gun is a responsible adult?

  Last night's bible highlights: David was wrong to greive for his son!

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  last night's bible highlights was really eyebrow raising!

  the brother pointed out at lenght about how david had wept when his son absalom was killed.

  but that because absalom was killed while opposing jehovah that means that david was wrong and weak to greive for him.. it was applied to today by saying that if our children are df'd when they die then we should not grieve for them either!.

  This topic shows and confirms the thread that Terry started a while ago about how they, the gb and elders, are amateurs and unqualified at any theological discussion.

  so today i was asked my thoughts on the pool party incident in mcminney, texas.

  my response: it shows a clash of expectations.

  i saw police officers who expected citizens to listen to and follow instructions.

  While I'm glad that no one got hurt, I am glad it happened and that it was caught on camera.

  That was one awesome barrel roll! He went the full Blart with that one.

  Some of those in that list above don't even have a guitar in that genre. Am I supposed to be finding my favorite guitarist out of the children's music, comedy, commercial, holiday, inspirational or vocal?

  If this was a thread about what genre of music you like I could easily list over 50 from that list. And as much as I am for expanding your horizons, I've come to the realization that at my age on some things I don't care anymore. I have over 400 cds. I really don't need to buy more to listen to. I can't listen to all the ones I have.

  After 2 years my parents make contact. The end result is that I promise them to cryogenically preserve ONLY their heads

  by paulmolark in

  2. experiences

  it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.

  i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.

  a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.

  The idea of always showing honor to parents really shows a logical flaw in the bible. To suppose that all parents are worthy of honor could have only been written by an overbearing parent.

  Nice comeback. I'm sure it shocked all listening.
