  by Simon in

  2. current

  the us elections suck up all the attention (and it's not even at the candidate selection stage!

  ) but canada actually has a national election today.. first results are starting to come in and so far it's all liberal party.. i think it's time harper and the conservatives got the boot.

  last premiere from the bush era.

  This is only my second federal Election.

  I chastised myself for looking around the voting center ( public Rec. center) for witnesses. It's hard to get used to being a voter.

  Watching the results come in is exciting though.

  Now that Gays can legally get married, if one of the gay couple want to become a JW would he or she have to get a divorce?

  i remember years ago maybe 20 years ago an elder or co was giving a talk on armaggeddon and he said that we know we are close to the end when homosexuals get the same rights as straight people.

  he said jehovah would never allow gay people to marry because it would be an abomination and he would do the same as sodom and gommorrah.

  what if a member of a gay couple decides to become a jws would he or she have to get a divorce?.

  ok i have been fading fast, missed a lot of meetings over the past couple of months and the kids think its mostly do to my being busy with work.

  this morning was probably the first sunday that i was home and could go but did not.

  so my 8 year old asked me if i was going and why when i said no.

  I would say, " You know, sometimes I just feel like not going, Do you ever feel like that?"

  I agree with the others, whatever you say you have to be honest, they have had enough lies .....we all have.

  Ya, I am pretty happy that I was not eligable now. Although, I did get baptized with Bethel in mind and If I had known it was not an option I might not have gone through with the dunken.

  I really was shocked, I couldn't believe they wouldn't want talented " people ", no matter what gender they were. Oh, to be a young niave virgin in a cult. I suppose somewhere down deep I was husband hunting. But why not, isn't that the goal, find a good bethel boy, go to Gilead, blah ,blah ,blah.

  Anyway, Yes, I am still an artist. No College, No art school. I make some supplemental income with it, but....like most artists, I do it for me. It's true, most likely I would not have been allowed to have any choice in assignments.

  I wouldn't have made it to long there, I ask to many questions.

  I went to the bethel meeting a DC once. I had a similar experience was feeking all fired up about how great bethel was. I thought I could be an artist for them. It was mothers dream to see my art in a publication.(pathetic place to see your art)

  Anyway, they told me were not accepting applications from women. They were looking for brothers and married couples only. They told me to re-apply after I was married. I was totally crushed.

  What do you think a witness would say when shown this quote?

  by BU2B in

  2. friends

  what do you think a witness would say when shown this quote, then the proof of the 1914, 1925 predictions?.

  "true, there have been those in times past who predicted an "end to the world," even announcing a specific date.

  yet nothing happened.
