Up until my early 20's I was. It all changed aroung the mid-90's. It wasn't a subtle or gradual change. I went from no doubts to serious doubts, almost overnight.

Archbishop Didn't Know Sex With Children Was a Crime
by Stealth inwtf .
the st. louis archbishop embroiled in a sexual abuse scandal testified last month that he didnt know in the 1980s whether it was illegal for priests to have sex with children, according to a court deposition released monday.
archbishop robert carlson, who was chancellor of the archdiocese of minneapolis and st. paul at the time, was deposed as part of a lawsuit against the twin cities archdiocese and the diocese of winona, minnesota.

So I guess the notion that it was morally reprehensible was foreign to him as well.

A Mormon becomes a JW in the Feb 2013 Watchtower...
by cedars inglancing through the feb 2013 "public" watchtower edition, an interesting article appears on page 8.. here is the pdf download link.... http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=pdf&issue=20130201&output=html&pub=wp&langwritten=e&option=trgchlzrqvnyvrxf&txtcmslang=e.
it's interesting how, in the story, the young man's jw aunt and uncle switch him from mormonism to the jw faith using third-party material (the nov 8, 1995 awake!
article), and he ends up becoming a jw after confirming on the official mormon website that the claims in the awake!

Somehow, this reminds of a guy I used to work with, who told me he caught Gonorrhea twice, from the same woman. Some people just don't learn.

Whenever I have trouble sleeping, I'll either read or go on the computer for a while. Both help me to fall asleep.

Sheldon was my favorite until Amy came on the show. Like the comic book store owner(Stuart) as well.

Handing in '' Field Service Report '' even if you're very ill.
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy mom has not been to any meetings or participated in field service since august 2013. she cannot walk due to all her medical conditions.
she is either in bed or sitting in a wheel chair.. our family hired a caretaker monday - friday to help her eat, take her to the bathroom and sit with her in case she needs anything.
in the evenings and weekends, we have family members take care of her.

I remember when an elderly brother in the hall I attended finally passed away, after battling illness for the last few years of his life. It was announced at the Thursday night meeting, and the brother making the announcement made a point of telling the congregation that even on his death bed, he managed to get 5 hours of field service in for the month. Apparently it was to shame the rest of us into doing more.

JW refuses to provide wedding stationery to Gay couple
by KateWild ini was outraged at this and had to post it.. http://jehovahswitnessreport.com/blog/jw-refuses-to-provide-wedding-stationery-to-gay-couple.
i think she is a hypocrite and i bet she sells her invites to fornicators, or does she ask them if they are having sex before marrige, before she takes their money?.
i was never like this when i was a jw, it's even more disturbing that she is going to ask her elders what to do.

As I read the OP comment I thought that perhaps in the very same line of reasoning that they would support it being forced upon Negroes to provide services advertising or inviting White Supremicists to a Ku Klux Klan rally. Or perhaps in the exact same line of reasoning a Jewish printery must be forced to make available invitations to a Nazi skin head rally.
Apples and oranges. Political ideology is a choice. Sexual orientation and race isn't. Perhaps you should stop thinking of homosexuality as an 'agenda'.

They've gotten a bad rap. Most of the ones I've come across have been quite docile, even friendly.
