god's view of gays and lesbians.
why should anyone care what i have to say on this topic?
i am not a priest.
Point blank, the Bible is against homosexuality. as the scriptures quoted in previous posts point out.
That's why I have a hard time figuring out what is in the mindset of those who are gay who have been ordained in the Methodist, Espocopalian and the other churches when the Bible clearly states its feeling on homosexuality. How do you take a vow to carry on the word of the Lord with those scriptures condemning homosexuality.
during his los angeles period, many wanted nothing to do with mr. coleman, a long-haired jehovahs witness dressed in clothes made by his wife.
in mr. cherrys description, he looked like some kind of black christ figure, but no christ anybody had ever seen before.. .
that's a quote from his obit in the new york times, the long hair and his looking lack christ thing is throwing me off, but the dubs are all a bit off anyway.

it seems like every time our circuit failed to meet the field service goals set by our co, the very next circuit assembly would invariably include a talk that mentions a chronically ill paraplegic sister who would dial the phone with her tongue to make return visits or conduct bible studies... i must have heard this experience at least 6 or 7 times in the past 20 years or so.
and every time i heard this recycled talk, they would add even more guilt-inducing twists to it.
to me, it eventually became way to difficult to believe...
I remember a sister that attended the Circuit Assemblies on a gurney, flat on her back. All those that were sitting straight up had a hard enough time staying awake, she was on her back, wonder if she was able to listen to drivel and not fall asleep.
And of course my mother and others would make such vomit inducing comments as "isn't that wonderful, she doesn't let her illness stop her attending . "
i took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.
a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.
one of them, a very attractive girl.
Perfect ! He stated everything clearly.
When you read his 100 per cent true story as to why he broke away, it amazes the mind that millions of folks actually follow that nonsense.
..that the governing body are only in it for money and power?.
how many of you think the gb are all/some are sincere?.

i love the people who go to my congregation.
they are sweet, friendly, and lovable.
(which is one of the things that makes being awake so much easier.

Now that's funny, sounds like something Archie Bunker would say when he always mispronounced certain words

they balance a pencil over something else and then they put a paper under the pencil with the words "yes" and "no".
they then ask "charlie, charlie, are you in the room?".
This was mentioned on The View yesterday. Like one of the persons on the show said perhaps someone is breathing hard or blowing on the pencil to give it a roll.

So the patriarch of the Duggar family contacted the church elders first instead of the authorities, now where have I heard that before ?? It couldn't be from the cult that says they are the only true religion on earth and all the others are false? Couldn't be them because they follow the same rules as the wacky religion/cult the Duggars follow.
my dad is now the only jw in my family.
i am technically inactive.
i am concerned about when he dies.
The brother I had do my mothers memorial, I pointed out to him specifically I didn't want it to sound like an advertisement for the JWs or I would choose someone else, but he was good friends with my mom so he complied, no problem.
BTW, the brother my mother always said she wanted to give her funeral talk she thought of as a son, since he lost his mom at an early age. Well, I contacted sonny boy and he said he was busy . . . I hope she heard that since they say our dead relatives spirits or still with us.
