  Homosexuality and Social Policy

  post jw life requires us to think as members of the larger society as we look at issues from the perspective of a member of a participatory government.

  unlike jw life, we get to have a say in what kind of life we experience for ourselves and our children.

  i will present a series of issues that require our judgment, that we as former jehovahs witnesses were prevented in having a say in and may not have ever given much thought to.

  i swear by my life and my love of it, that i will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.. i own one life -- mine -- in prison or out, in sickness or destitution or whatever else happens next.. human sacrifice is evil no matter who its beneficiary is, whether you sacrifice yourself to others or others to yourself.

  man every man is an end in himself.. this god, this one word: i.

  When others claim to worship some spirit God - what is really happening?

  They are either doing it for self preservation - afraid that the loving creator will kill them.

  or

  They do it because it gives THEM hope or purpose (perhaps makes THEM feel good inside)- a mental/emotional response but still a selfish one.

  I am not being critical of any individual, just seeing things for what they are.

  Whether you claim to worship some spirit God or not...you really, like me, actually worship yourself (even if you deceive yourself into thinking otherwise).

  Andy,

  I guess it is a simple answer(in some cases)...we both know it too!

  For the record I have no issue with Skally, at all. I just wondered about this.

  RF,

  I am unintimidated by you posting my OLD ID.

  Is it suppoosed to show how smart you are? I have said publicly and on threads that it was an old ID of mine.

  over at kent's cozy discussion forum, at http://kent.steinhaug.com/forum/showthread.php3?s=576c225fa464b8a850eaf84a8f511cad&threadid=62, redhorsewoman started a thread wherein she wanted comments about an old highschool classmate (also a jw) that she recently met again.. responding to her post, i said.

  too late for your situation, but i'd treat her as i've come to treat my jw family: leave religion, the truth, jehovah (and the rest of that jw baggage) out of all conversations... unless they bring it up.

  and even then, don't expect much.
