This religion makes me sick. They pat themselves on the back as champions of freedom of religion while denying it to their own members.

by pale.emperor inwell, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.
someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.
i just feel sad for my daughter.

Islam is a religion of peace (2)
by Coded Logic inin behalf of the horrific events of saturday night, i just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that islam is a religion of peace.
it doesn’t matter that the quran explicitly says that homosexuals should be stoned to death (7:84) - it’s still a religion of peace.
and it doesn’t matter that the scriptures say that all gay men should be killed (sunan 1:152) - islam doesn’t in anyway condone violence.. it doesn’t matter that every mainstream imam calls homosexuality a sin "worse the adultery" - it’s not a religion of bigotry.. it doesn’t matter that 61% of muslims in the uk think gay acts should be made illegal - islam has nothing against the gay community.. it doesn’t matter that countries with sharia law actively persecute the lgbt community - islam is all about peace and love.

Committing an act of terrorism is a plausible interpretation of Islam
Stoning an adulterer is a plausible interpretation of Christianity and Judaism
What do you still see going on?
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/06/14/admit-it-these-terrorists-are-muslims.html
this is a great article by someone I think has very intelligent points.
It is time that we liberals took the fabled red pill and accepted reality. Just as this clearly has something to do with outdated gun laws, and just as those laws need reform, this also has something to do with Islam, which also needs reform today. No other stance makes any sense.
Muslim apologists undermine reform
JWS make a cartoon about gay marriage and we all jumped to criticize the hell out of them with good reason, also any other fundies that still preach the same message. In syria they are throwing gay people off of the tallest buildings they can find and we are too chickensh*t to insult islam.
I've said it before, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

The same logic applies to Christians, since the Bible is filled with the same messages of violent bigotry. The only difference is Christianity is about a century ahead of Islam in ignoring and explaining away similar texts.
This is the smartest thing I think anyone has said on this board regarding this matter. Christianity is in remission, Islam is growing.

"Shunning" - now a Watchtower word?
by slimboyfat ini know jws have long used the word "shun" in a general sense, as in "shun what is bad".
but i think they have long avoided using the word in relation to disfellowshipping.
in external media or literature wherever the word "shunning" was used in a piece about jws it was usually a good indication it was critical of watchtower and not a neutral or supportive commentary.

Funny how quickly things change. Just in early 2015 I was having a blowout with my family and used the word shunning to describe disfellowshipping. I was quickly corrected by my aunt who said that is an "apostate" word.
Guess not ...

JW TV, this month about evolution
by bohm inthis month the last segment is about evolution.
one is with a sister with a university education in biochemistry who (presumably) teaches at a highschool or public school.
she says that left handedness of amino acids indicates life was created because "if it was a random process half would be right handed and half left handed" (paraphrased).

If they so desired, the society could produce a PhD each month who believes the Earth is flat.
I agree with that. I personally know some PhD's that are incredibly ignorant. In the uneducated org its going to sound like they are brilliant scientists though. PhD "piled higher & deeper"
Its no guarantee of sanity or intelligence. Look at Ben Carson for Christ's sake!

I think this new effort on their part shows they are losing their religion to science and they know a lot are waking up (not so much to jw fuckery) to the bible and god being total BS. Starting to seem more desperate to present "scientific" opinion.

Beards - September 2016 Watchtower
by Listener inthe issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.
it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?
the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.

I don't know of any culture or locality that does not generally accept men having beards
Watchtower culture of course.
and i am with JW leaks, I said the same thing to some friends earlier today, I think this is giving Prince a post mortem pass on facial hair since he is being lauded as a devout witness in the media and no one will say different.
