  Married my partner...

  we just got back from san francisco where we were married last week.

  maybe some day gay couples won't have to travel 1,000 miles to get married, and their commitment of love will be recognized by society.

  there will be no need to use code - my friend, my roommate - at the office, with neighbors, or with family when speaking about the person with whom you live your life.

  You are going to be destroyed by Jehovah so your marriage means nothing.

  i named it "superstition's antidote".

  it won't be exclusively about jehovah's witnesses, but it will frequently have my take on this fruity little cult.

  What is YOUR bible of choice?

  by gloobster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  although i'm pretty much an atheist, i still like reading the bible.

  it's an amazing literary masterwork to say the least.. my question is, after discovering that the new world translation of the wts was poorly translated and altered in ways designed to support their various peculiar doctrines (see john 1:1, etc.

  ), what bible translation are you all the most fond of?.

  I prefer the New International Version study bible. It is easy to read and the notes are great.

  we are filing bankruptcy in three days.

  we finally got enough money together, which included our government incentive check, to pay the lawyer to do it and last night saw two withdrawals from our checking account!

  perfectly legal the bank says.

  You are responsible for your own finances. Don't try to blame the bank for your misdeeds and mismanagement.

  As an entrepreneur, it's rarely a good idea to launch a product that will alienate key stakeholders.

  Unfortunately, 31-year-old Chad Hardy found this out the hard way. The lifelong Mormon has been excommunicated from the church after producing a calendar that featured 12 Mormon missionaries in various state of undress. His "Men on a Mission" calendar has sold more than 10,000 copies since last year, so some people obviously liked it – but unfortunately, the Mormon authorities don’t seem to be among them…

  On his MySpace page, Hardy protests that his calendar was simply "a message of religious and cultural tolerance with a sense of humor" and insists he was merely trying to "step outside the status quo of the stereotypes surrounding being a Mormon". And he certainly managed that – it’s the first time we’ve ever seen a calendar of semi-naked full-time Mormon missionaries (even if they look more like male models than bookish clerics). "This calendar has created a really cool phenomenon," says Hardy. "It has created interfaith dialog all over the world, and [the models] have exposed their stories of service and love, as well as their perfect abs."

  But although the calendar has been flying off the shelves, it hasn’t exactly improved Hardy’s standing in the Mormon community. Apparently he's received "the most appalling hate mail" from other believers (plus a few born-again Christians), and has now been excommunicated, while his 12 models have also been hauled across the coals (although they appear to have escaped the same fate). The Church’s answer to Hardy's heartfelt plea – "Can't we all just be more tolerant of each other?" – appears to be: "Not really, no"…

  So as an entrepreneurial venture, the calendar's been a mixed success. It may have generated about $150,000, but Hardy seems to have alienated a large part of his core constituency in the process – which could make the business unsustainable in the long term. Although like every good entrepreneur, Hardy is refusing to give up easily – apparently the 2009 edition goes on sale on September 1. You just can't keep a good missionary down...
