  although your mentor chuck russell proclaimed that jehovah god lived on a "planet" (hahahahahahaha!

  ), namely pleiades, modern astro-physics has shown he was quite insane.

  just lie down on consecutive clear nights and watch the heavens.

  For the people obsessed with the vulgarity in:

  So quit printing and selling your stupid books and magazines that say YOU and all your bullshit are at the center of the Universe and all the universal conflicts in the cosmos revolve around you. You (like us) are on the roller-coaster ride of life but you are not THE ride itself.

  If you can't understand this simple reasoning, then go fuck yourselves. Gawd knows, you probably need it.

  Vulgarity? Where? I seen no "vulgarity" here. The man is speaking the truth. Then again, truth is "vulgarity" to some. Like the GB perhaps? You know...the big "GB"...or "glorious ones" as most R&F call them? Those "select" group of MEN who are the head of a so-called ONE AND ONLY SPIRIT DIRECTED "JEHOVAH'S" organization? Who PREY upon the ignorant..who PREY upon the lives of children in need of blood tranfusions...

  What's more vulgar here? The language, or the fact that some HUMANS from NY destroying families? Which is the greater vulgarity? The GB who endorse the ideology of bloodguilt, yet when it comes to saving the life of a child...it's "magically" different?

  Sometimes...language needs a good KICK IN THE ASS to get a point across...to reveal how vulgar the "TRUTH" is.

  D8. Keep dreamin buddy, you got a LOnnGG way to go before you get one of those swords.

  Ah yes, I humbly admit, as to the "board rankings" the ever ellusive title of Jedi is a long way off...

  Yet, I'm a huge Sam L. Jackson fan. I thought of getting Pulp Fiction pics...but, after he got involved with Star Wars (hey, I was 7 when the Ep. IV came out---I'm a fanatic) it's hard to resist not using Mace Windu. A bit more "brighter" character then the one in Pulp Fiction. :)

  Does anyone REMEMBER the article in NOVA about the first successful FUSION reaction...it was about a decade ago. Then, about 5 years ago there was an article on the first FUSION reactor that was built and was successful?

  I'm studying cultural anthropology...this stuff is way outta my league and field of knowledge. In other words, I really don't know diddly about it, in an intimate sense. But, I remember the article mentioning that FUSION has no inherent dangers, opposed to Nuclear Fission. Fusion creates greater power output, and is by far a lot safer. From what I recall.

  Crap....now I have to go on an info hunt. But if anyone has better knowledge on the FUSION stuff, please post it.

  We have gotten to an absurd point. We now have nationally televised boxing matches between women, which is an abomination.

  So, "televised" boxing matches between men...is NOT an abomination???
  This author is using unfounded segregation of the sex to make an opinion.

  We have young girls turning out for their high school football teams, which is worse.

  Worse? Worse then what? An athletically gifted person trying out for a Home Economics class instead? Again...segregating sexes. Okay for boys, but not for girls.

  We have young girls swaggering around basketball courts as though a team doctor has been giving them testosterone injections.

  As opposed to those NBA-NCAA male basketball stars, MOST of them who DO swagger around WITH steriod injections. Please notice the author did say "AS THOUGH a team doctor has been giving...".

  Problem here is, the author's view of how the female sex is to be attractive is whether it's in his realm of opinion on what is "feminine". Apparently a woman with a toned body, or muscular look doesn't float his boat, and doesn't consider this accetable.

  The fact that many women's athletic departments at secular universities are hotbeds of lesbianism is not a coincidence. Much of what goes on in the name of wholesome athletic activity is actually dedicated to the recruiting and training of lesbians.

  Oh man, here we go again. Another dipsh*t who probablly realizes the stupidity in their opinion, half way thru writing an argument, appends the "It's a Gay issue"-- to reaffirm their ignorant opinionated article. [sarcasm] Watch out, the University athletic programs are catered to dykes, watch out! [end sarcasm]
  What the HELL does sexual preference have to do with SPORTS???? Author=Moron

  Christians need to understand that it is not possible to have a large part of our lives dedicated to the blurring of distinctions between male and female, and then turn around expecting those distinctions to flourish in the other parts of our lives. We will not maintain distinctions unless we learn how, and learning how means it must be made a priority.

  Oh thank you Great Teacher, pray tell, who will be the educators of this new found doctrine? You, the author? Bwahahhahhahhaha! I wouldn't allow this sexest piece of crap teach my kids how to color with crayons.

  This means that if Christian parents have their daughters in any form of athletic training or competition, they have to place the highest priority on teaching their daughters how this activity relates to their calling as Christian women.

  Do you hear that "Christian" parents?? Well? Do Ya? This guy want's your daughters to be boxom, curvey, and dainty. So that his eyes will not be offeneded by what he considers non-feminine. Also, God Forbid...your daughters may become competitive. Strong body leads to a strong mind. He want's your daughters to be reserved, quiet,...."seen but not heard". This way, he and his sons can club your daughter over the head, and drag her off by the hair much more easily. Also, if he or his sons are butt ugly, women will not have that "competitive" fram of mind ...and find some one much more appealing.

  Further, they must ensure that it does relate. It is also incumbent on any young woman involved in any sport to be able to articulate why she is there. It is necessary for her to be able to say how her style of play, how her approach to competition, differs markedly from how boys compete.

  Oh...my...GOD!

  Author's paraphrase: Girls should not play sports like boys...because, well, doh! They're girls. And that's my argument. Yep yep. Yeeehaaaw.

  [Please show the author the consideration of compassion, he is failing in his argument, and is now grasping for some "point" to this article. Either that, he had too much of the sacramental wine, is in the wrong state of mind to be writing such humorous drivel.]

  If she cannot do this, then it is spiritually dangerous for her to be where she is. If she does not have a biblical reason for pursuing the activity, she is not left with no reason, she is left with an unbiblical reason. The fact she is confused about that reason does not mean it is absent.

  Biblical reason??? So, an argument we can use here is:
  Mary mother of Jesus never played basketball, or ran track, or played baseball...do you really think your daughter should? Well? DO YA? HUH?

  People, at this moment, I have tears of laughter running down my face while reading and responding to this author's pile o' crud. Not only does the author FAIL in providing any BIBLICAL examples or scripture, but sorely reveals that this article is entirely the OPINION of the author's view of role of the sexes.

  When a girl is thrown into such situations without direction, it can leave her insecure in the last place where she should be left insecure—her femininity.

  And damn it, HE should know how these situations can leave HER insecure in HER FEMINITY. Beacause, damn it, HE'S A MAN and KNOWS BETTER about such feminin issues. LOL! Can he also empathize and give his expertise opinion on the issue of menstral pain as well? Another article in the future perhaps?

  Not surprisingly, it is the responsibility of fathers to prevent this kind of sexual damage from occurring, and to address it responsibly if it has already started to happen. But this responsibility cannot be assumed if all the father wants is a list, and writes in asking what sports are bad for girls? Such a list is possible—sumo wrestling would be on it—but mechanical application of such lists would not fix anything. Fathers who do not love, comfort, praise, encourage, and teach cannot fix their problem by moving their daughters around on the basis of a list. All they would get is a change from having a daughter who did not know why she was on the football team to a daughter who did not know why she was in the kitchen.

  The author's plea to all you "Christian" fathers. LISTEN CAREFULLY!

  Author's paraphrase: "FATHERS(MEN)! This feminism idea has gotten outta control! Supress your daughters! They are interfering with my idea of what is appropriate for women in this world! Athletic women are a threat to me! Please help me out! I'm a scrawny little guy, with my masculinity being compromised by the opposite sex! Help! Help!"

  At the same time, we must learn to think like Christians, and consistently make distinctions. We should challenge what the world says, and be willing to modify our behavior based upon what the Scriptures require of us. And when it comes to our daughters in sports, there is a lot to modify.

  I'd rather challenge what the author says in this article.

  I am thinking like a "Christian" and accepting my fellow humans to be capable in any persuit they endevor in, including sports. And regardless if one has a penis or vagina...has nothing to do with ones achievements in the athletic or intellectual departments of one's life. It's a matter of Mind and Heart.

  I challenge not what the "world" says, but what the author is saying here. Scriptures tell me, that the author is FULL OF CRAP!

  And I will NEVER "modify" my daughter to fit the author's warped-screwed-up-caveman-mentality, to please his insecurities.

  If you are ever in Bali Indonesia, and travel a bit north of Ubud to a Resturaunt near a waterfall (only one on the island), there is a "girl" named Sue. I miss her awfully, and tell her owner Madi Jiwa, that I will visit Sue soon.

  Sue is a monkey. My favorite.

  Analyzing sex and marriage within the WTS

  by Leander in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  growing up as a witness can do strange things to people, especially in a sexual sense.

  i'd be embarraassed to recount some of the stories and experiences about sex that i've seen and heard dealing with young witnesses.. it seems that there are quite a few marriages that have taken place with younger witnesses simply to satisfy sexual urges.

  after the inital curiosity has been satisfied a lot times young couples realize that they made a terrible mistake which often leads to a variety of different problems.. currently i find myself in a similar situation.

  Currently I find myself in a similar situation. Although I'm not dealing with any particular stressful marital problems I am however realizing that marriage was'nt the best choice for me. (at least at this particular time in my life) Even as a boy I've had a tendecy to seek out solitude and now that I'm approaching my 30th year of life I have that same desire. I would'nt consider myself to be anti-social by any means, but I really enjoy the pleasures of having time alone.

  Oh man, this is the the time when it's RIPE for the luv-bug to bite. Just when you get comfortable, when everything is running smoooth...then WAM! Kicked-in-the-Ass-by-Luv---and-I-didn't-see-it-commin theory.

  BTW...don't you people hate my "continous, non paused sentences"? (eg. Whoa-my-god-what-the-hell-wuz-that). It's how I speak in RL. ;)
