  Wouldn't there be a layer of 'salt' lying around if it was Sodom?

  Same sex attraction, as a behaviour can be predicted.

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being ever ready to note information that demonstrates christian idiocy in general and jw idiocy in particular, i was interested in news of this particular research that has been doing the rounds of science oriented news sources this week.. christianity in general and jwism in particular, have viciously persecuted same sex attracted people, thus demonstrating their peculiar hypocrisy.

  most christians (the jw brand and other brands) squeal like a speared pig when they suffer any treatment that they call persecution, but are always willing to persecute same sex attracted people (and anyone else that stands outside their narrow-minded vision of the world).. most same sex attracted people will testify that their romantic attraction to the same sex was not a clear cut choice, but was something they grew up with.

  (gay by nature).

  I know from personal experience that same sex attraction & trying to be a JW is a toxic mix.

  i was paired with this older "brother" when i was a teenager.

  he was very very strange.

  he was a nice guy but goofy.

  I used to curl up with embarrassment in densely populated areas when the other JW's congregated together & laughed loudly about the householders they had just called on & what they had said.

  I knew something was wrong with the JW/WT many years before I finally got out.

  Anthony Morris explains how God gives Decrees to man! New video edit.

  by Wasanelder Once in

  2. beliefs

  i took the most recent video on "obey" and edited it down to its core.

  here tony explains that the decisions of the faithful slave are arrived at "collectively" but are not a "collection" of man made decisions.

  it would be comical if it weren't so sad.. tony video.

  I wonder who decided 'collectively' he should wear that effeminate turquoise pocket handkerchief.......definitely not their 'manly god of war' surely.

  For me the worst thing is not having a helper anymore

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of the things that gave me confidence in life was that i believed i had the almighty creator/god watching over me, directing me, guiding my every step, protecting me from harm, and answering my prayers.

  i now know that is not the case anymore.

  i finally stopped praying.

  I would like to see Angus Stewart quiz Jehovah god about his role in the child abuse scandal.

  I would want to ask God "Didn't your son say 'Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'

  Didn't he also say "What is the price of two sparrows--one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows"

  In view of what your 'son' said how can you claim you did not know the abuse was happening?
  

  Why then God didn't you answer the desperate cries for help from the small children as their abusers ripped their little vaginas?

  Did you decide their faith was not 'as large as a mustard seed'& therefore decided to let the abuser satisfy their dreadful cravings?

  What would you think of a man or woman that was present when an act of child abuse took place but did nothing to prevent it?

  Would you not view them as culpable?

  That's what I would ask Jehovah God.

  Yes, we mustn't forget that apparently this is being used as a Watchtower Welsh language translation unit.

  Couldn't possibly be a weekend bolthole for some Watchtower high-ups could it.

  Some JW's I've shown this to respond with 'Well only the best for Jehovah'

  I met some lovely Americans in Vermont & New Hampshire......very friendly & generous.

  Some Brits have bad teeth, many do not.I'm sure some Americans have bad teeth too...........it's silly to sum up a nation of individuals in this way.
