Do you think you should have the right to decline business on Personal or Religious grounds?
by PokerPlayerPhil inshould individual businesses have the right to pick and chose who they serve?
if a muslim decides he won't bake the cake of a radical zionist that says "reclaim the temple in jerusalem" should the government be allowed to punish the muslim baker?
maybe you can help me understand the issues more clearly because were becoming hyper-sensitive and soon your going to need a handbook what's the proper thing to say.

Do I have the right to refuse business on personal or religious reasons? HMMMM I think so! As you go broke because you don't have enough customers don't come looking to tax payers for assistance. -

Went to a Catholic Funeral Today
by Captain Schmideo2 init was for a dear friend of the family that i have known all my life.now, bear in mind that i was born and raised jw, so my experience with catholic ceremonies can be counted on three fingers, a wedding, a "regular" mass, and this funeral mass.once they got down to the actual speaking about the deceased, i felt emotionally involved, but prior to that, i was watching and had questions about aspects of the services (these i have seen in common for all three times i have been in an rc church):why the "sing-song" voice during the prayers?
does god hear it better if you sound all spooky tenor?i observe that every time a reading from one of the gospels takes place, it is preceded by a big musical number:"alleluiah!
alleluiah"( "and nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's jesus!".

What are JW funerals like? Not respectful?
No I don't think they are.
They are a recruitment drives.
I have been to many including some of my immediate family.
When I went to my Father in law's Catholic funeral,his was about the celebration of his life.
I am certainly not advocating for the Catholic Church.

I have been to several witness funerals or recruitment events what ever you want to call them. The last Catholic funeral I was to was for my father in law. It was a very respectful ceremony. -

"In the beginning god created the heavens and the earth." What a crock!
And there was nothing, I mean nothing, then god said let there be light. Now there was still nothing, but now you could see it! LOL

Hey friend. If you dissociate yourself you will lose your family. Better for you to just fade away. -

Why do religious people make claims and then refuse to back them up?
by Viviane inseveral times over the past few months i have had conversations, both here and in real life, with religious people making all sorts of interesting and conflicting claims.
i like to know how things work, so generally i will ask questions to net out what i am being told and see if it can be explained and make sense.. for instance, if someone said 2+2=4 and i asked how, there are a variety of ways that could be shown to me, a number line, physical objects being put together, counting on fingers and toes, etc.
indeed, in my personal life, i often have to explain how certain technologies work, sometimes planned, sometimes off the cuff, from a variety of group sizes to a varying degree of technical expertise.

Knowledge and science are the true enemies of religious faith. Why do you all think the WBTS likes their people uneducated and stupid? Note: This question is not directed at you all, it's for the consideration of lurkers. -

Does this meet up coincide with a CO visit? If it does or the Co's visit is close, I wouldn't pay it much attention.
