Is homosexuality ever justifiable? I say YES!!!

by TimothyT in

in the january 2012 awake, pages 28-29 there is another article about homosexuality.. .

the writers argue that genetics, the environment, and sexual abuse do not justify homosexuality.

the bible clearly states that homosexuality is wrong and is an abhorrent sin.

Timothy, You have my full support, although on a topic I can never fully understand.

I am glad you are able to post here, and I say keep it up.

Should we be condemned for that?

Absolutly not, but I don't put faith in the christian bible.

I am worried that you may still have some fear based on it. I hope that is not the case, and I wish you all the best.

Luke 21:8 - Who Should We Really Avoid?

by Darth Rutherford in

luke 21:8 - who should we really avoid?.

in his sign of the last days, jesus warned his followers: look out that you are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, i am he, and, the due time has approached.

(luke 21:8) jesus provides clues that help us identify who to avoid.

Well, it's official, I am a rabid, mentally diseased Apostate!

so an apostabuddy wanted to stage a silent protest at the assembly hall where she was baptized.

we went today.

the plan was to wear these apostate t-shirts that had stuff printed on them about thinking for yourself, and a bunch of websites.

The seven trumpet blasts of Revelation & the Millions campaign.

by transhuman68 in

one of the jehovahs witness doctrines that many of us have had trouble believing is that the seven angels trumpet blasts described in revelation applied to events that occurred in the 1920s at seven assemblies held around the world at the time when judge rutherford was the president of the watchtower society.. the revelation climax book (1988) contains this summary on page 173:.

highlights of jehovah's trumpetlike judgment proclamations.

1922 cedar point, ohio: a challenge to christendom's leaders in religion, politics, and big business to justify their failure to bring peace, prosperity, and happiness.

Hey, don't knock the Revelation book - studying it for the third time so weakened my trust in the organisation that I started to question the whole thing.

Hey, same here. I'm so glad that something made me finally start paying attention to what the WTS actually teaches.

This and then followed by the Daniel book sealed the deal for me.

Awakes were everwhere!

by maninthemiddle in

sunday i visited a local resturant in a strip-mall type of setup.

several business were closed over the weekend.

while leaving i noticed the next door had something stuck in the handle.

maninthemiddle

I thought about writing something on it, but it was stuck in the door handle, and would have become litter in a couple of hours anyway.

I know the family that runs another shop is devout christian, so I am not worred about them doing anything but throwing it away, but this was a childrens learning center and the magazine was about loved ones dying.

Hmmm, can I count it as a placemnet with the recycling center? I wonder if I can turn in time for the first time in 2 years, maybe I can get off the irregular list?
