  i am not gay and never have been one, but do you think that your local society treats gays with respect or that it has no tolerence for such a sexually different and in the thought of many deviant minority?

  .

  i personally don't approve of their activities but i can understand that they are genetically predisposed in that way and can't change.

  here's an excerpt from a bbc.co.uk article i just read:.

  "the holy koran recognises jesus as a prophet.

  what the book says is an insult to both christians and muslims," maulana mansoor ali khan, general secretary of the all-india sunni jamiyat-ul-ulema, told the reuters news agency.

  Witnessing at school

  2. friends

  i was in class and by these two women (one who was a christian and the other student i am unsure of).

  i asked them, randomly, "do you know much about jehovah's witnesses?

  " -- they both said "yes" and the non-christian said "i had a jw friend and he really hated it... he disaproved of what they taught" -- i started to talk about shunning and disfellowship.

  Do we trade one arrogant "I am right" for another "I am right" attitude?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a witness, i was very arrogant in my life in thinking i was right in all things.

  the right religion, the right bible, the right understanding and the right lifestyle.

  when i left, it was not hard to shake this arrogance and i found at times i was the same person, only with a different "right" message and i annoyed my witness relatives as much as they annoying me.

  So why all the guilt over sex???

  by Satans little helper in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was reading a post on here recently from some young guy who was never a witness but wanted some advice about a romantic situation and what struck me was his real guilt trip about sex, porn and masturbation.. .

  what is the reason for attaching so much guilt to sex?

  is it because we attach emotion to the closness of our sexual relationships?
