  Gays Leave JWD!

  by hambeak in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i got a phone call from a person that i gave my phone # to.

  and this person said that gays are not welcome here and this is not what this board was really about.

  i told them that this is only one part of the crap that the wts did to people and that we are people too.

  For some reason I feeled compelled to speak up and not with the usual politically correct phrases. I've read hambeak's posts and never really picked up on him being "gay" ,and you know I really like to read posts on different topics without the underlying tone of these posts being from a "gay"perspective. Some one phoning up like that is terrible to put somone down for ANY known thing which is, to me a private matter. Advertising your sexual inclinations on a primarily Jehovahs Witness discussion forum to me is tasteless and I don't give a shit if it's popular to condascend,fluff up, or pander to the whims of some people thru commenting on how terrible it is to bash verbally "gays". I hate this terminology given to "classes" of people ,labelling them and then they get verbally bashed don't they? If I had a bent for hiding cherbals in my butt and came on here seeking support from all because some dick abused me ,would you all rush to me with sympathetic messages to the same degree I wonder .What if I complained that I was born this way with "cherbal in my butt" fetish ,supposedly caused by my dna and too many fluffy teddies in my crib ,would I get the same response from all here ? For I think I should not for this is a discussion group for JW stuff is it not?

  Or am I being labelled now as a poofter basher myself now, well no I should,nt be but that just depends on whether you all consider yourselves as sheep in white and I'm black. That's why I'm saying this coz to follow the popular flow of thinking is weakness as I see it and to pander to someones homosexuallity is just that. They are not victims but select it by intelligent choice and painting them as a minority is not true is it? So why the great displays of sympathy coz he's "gay"....he or she is human and should be EQUALLY treated as a person not a poor victim. If someone treats a crippled person badly does'nt that just make it a bad event from that other person ,and I would imagine that the crippled person would not want gushings of "oh you poor person " for we see you are a cripple. Some people stand out in this world by CHOICE and others suffer bigotry for being born disabled - now is anyone going now to say coz a "gay" says he's born that way he's a cripple, he could'nt help it?

  I'm going to read hambeak's posts the same way as I always did ,with interest, I don't want to know if someones sexual leaning are this way or that ...if there is a god who judges all he will one day give the answer individually to each one's life and if he condemns"gays" at that moment, who will stand by them then I wonder?

  Respectfully

  normally, i don't mind where i'm at in my life.

  i'm forty, no kids, low-paying job, live in a trailer court, etc (and trust me there's more to the etc, then i've already mentioned), but today i had a hard time.. one of my best friends from high school was a big dope head (no offense to the dope heads out there).

  he showed up nearly every day to our first period art class smelling of weed and was generally so whacked out of his mind that he got horrible grades.. he finally graduated - barely - and made it to college.

  Ah ABANDONED ya poor sap! $7.50 an hour eh? Trailer park eh? My daughter in law told me what it's like there in USA when she moved here from there and it amazed me at how low the pay is in "ordinary" jobs. Crappy health service too eh? Jeez from reading your post I reckon you must be a good trusting guy that's an easy target for the shitheads who live there with you . Why don't you come out here and we'll look after you. Where's America the land of the free bs bs bs etc.....come to a country that appreciates honest true blue people. Hey don't just believe me, ask any of the other OZ posters here (but verify they are genuine OZ and not kiwis who moved from their beautiful country to here lol) Steve

  What are the qualifications for being of the "annointed"?

  by hubert in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  am i correct to say that the "annointed" are the 144,000 that will be with jesus in heaven, according to the watchtower?.

  if so, in ....luke 23:43...jesus said to "dismas" (the good thief) who was also being crucified along with jesus, "truly i tell you today you will be with me in paradise".. wouldn't this make dismus "one of the annointed"?.

  wouldn't this also show that dismus, who had no qualifications for being of the annointed, went to heaven with jesus and became one?.

  Mary The GB realize that this scripture was a very dangerous one, because it would blow their theory that you simply are dead in the ground when you die. Thus, they simply moved the comma from before the word "today", thus claiming that Jesus did not promise the Evildoer that he would be anywhere but six feet under. Needless to say, there's not one other bible translation out there that places the comma after "today", but that shouldn't come as any big surprise. Leave the comma out then and consider this - Jesus was not ressurected till the third day so how could he say that Dismus would be in Paradise THAT day unless perhaps the both did come to life again immediately at death and went to heaven and Jesus waited there maybe until the third day to rise again to show his disciples he spoke truth about himself coming back for a while to strengthen them till he ascended again in the clouds. Of course this still puts paradise in heaven and not on earth for nothing here changed physically. Steve

  Hi penny2 Yes I'm better now thanks and up and about, I've placed another via email but hav'nt got a response back yet but a freind is going out house to house with me this week so we will see what happens. It's funny to go back to the houses I used to witness at but I feel it has to be done even if it is only a small contribution. Steve

  2. friends

  i know it has been talked about before, but does anyone have information as to when jw started banning beards.

  my wife is telling me that it started in the 60/70's because of the hippies, but i know i read somewhere on here that it was much earlier.. .

  I remember at an assembly here in the eightees ,in a public talk it pointed out bluntly thet some sisters dressed like protitutes and some brothers had grown beards and he condemned them saying that from that time forward that men reaching out for priveleges would fall in line.A MS in my congo had one,very neatly trimmed and chaffed at the prospect that weekend complaining he had skin problems and grew his beard for that reason. Sunday morning it was gone and he was appointed an elder not long after and has never grown it back...what a good brother and how miraculous it was that the rash disappeared ....Ah the blessing from Jehovah ,that is what makes onr rich!

  I Agree Lady Lee but finding out the truth would be hard as it would have been decided behind closed doors in muttered tones.

  might as well take the opportunity.

  i was a very active dub for 15 years, but there were things i could not reconcile.

  and when people can't reconcile things, eventually they drop out.

  If Russell was right and since he died and everything has been corrupted since he died, then the world must ask this question..."What has Jesus been doing for the last 90 years then?" Perhaps he is struggling to ressurect Russell from under that heavy pagan pyramid of his for the past 90 years!

  for those of you that don't know my story, read my first post here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/122526/1.ashx

  so, i think next week is when i find out if i am approved to be an ms. if not, thank god, but if i am, i'm in deep crap.

  elder dad is confident that i'll accept, but my plan is to try to get out of it by saying that i want to finish school and get an aa degree, at least, before accepting more responsibilities.
