  And if time is eternal and we are still here suffering that means that scenario most likely is not correct

  To me it's absurd that a god of love would allow conditions like this to exist at all at any time and any place throughout history

  That is if we take the world at face value which is nonsensical

  If God made it not have happened then it would only exist in the mind of God. Unless he deletes it from his own mind. Then the whole process would begin again because God wouldn't remember doing it before. Resulting in all of us reliving our lives the same way over and over for eternity. And we're still here so...

  Simon, I'm really surprised how you edit these threads to fit your agenda. I thought you were someone of a different character. This is the first time I've noticed what you're doing here. Thank you for freeing me from this place. You are just as bad as they are. As of this moment im finally a former, former Jehovah's Witness. See ya.      

  Any friends that want to contact me can use Facebook. My full name is Paul Duda and  I'm really from  Cleveland

  I don't think straight people can understand how a gay child will interpret this video. I'm believe this hateful video will drive some vulnerable gay youth to suicide. Quit trying to parse the actual words. Their twisted message comes through loud and clear: GOD HATES F@GS. They're no different than the Westboro Baptist Church.

  Don't forget, no masturbation either. It worked out great for the Catholic Church.

  I'm sorry but the Watchtower position on homosexuality is ridiculous. You can have God's approval as long as you "just" remain celibate your entire life. Let's apply that little rule to all Jehovah's Witnesses, gay AND straight, and see how it works out.

  Isn't it wonderful how, even now, Jehovah helps his people? Prayer is so powerful.

  “i have to thank jehovah god for this,” serena williams told the crowd after receiving the trophy at the australian open in january, her sixth win there.

  “i was down and out and he helped me today and i just said prayers”.

  What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?

  by paul from cleveland in

  i can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.

  i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.

  i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.

  I think both "insular" and "isolationist" are good but I went with "insular" because it seems more impartial to me.

  Thanks Tal! That must have been the word I was thinking of initially. When I read the definition again, though, it had more of a negative connotation than I recall. Regardless, it probably fits the best in this context.
