staff in a takeaway were offended by two lesbians' full-on kissing and expressed their opinion about the behaviour.
the lesbians complained to police that a "hate crime" was committed.. homosexual or heterosexual - do it in private, it's not a spectator sport or a public statement.. minority groups can invoke police action if they are "offended," but society in general cannot do likewise.. why has "being offended" been turned into a hate crime in the uk?
who is pushing this agenda?.
I'm amazed that anyone on this board, having experienced shaming for our belief system and many of us knowing of gay people who have been the victims of violence in the home as young people, being thrown out, family ostracism and even suicide, cannot see this for what it is.
If you read the link it seems pretty obvious to me it was the extremist Islamic religious ideology of the staff that was the issue.
evolution is how we got here.. demonstrate that you believe that all species evolved from a single cell over/within 3.5 billion years by tapping "like" below.. demonstrate that you believe in special creation by tapping "unlike" below..
Vandy with all due respect even my year 8 kids could answer the multiple choice questions posed in the video (the two sitting at the desk). I'm absolutely gobsmacked that adults can hold such an event and think it does anything but make the questioner look foolish.
Can a car turn into an airplane? You could ask Rolls Royce, I'm sure they could manage it pretty easily.
watchtower's ignorance around the historical background to many biblical directives has had a very negative effect on the lives of witnesses.. for instance paul said women should cover their heads because in corinth prostitutes walked the streets plying for business with their heads uncovered.
hence head coverings were never a symbol of headship but a directive very specific to that period, as was the blood directive!!.
watchtower leaders have been lawyers, businessmen, civil servants and door-to-door book salesmen, never, ever historians or biblical scholars.
Peaceful Pete : second was so as not to upset or stumble the angels who were believed to be keepers of order,
Hi Peaceful Pete I just thought I ought to say that as far as I know it’s only the witnesses who assert this. “Because of the Angels” could equally mean to prevent the Angels from lusting after good Christian women the way they did in Noah’s time!!! There is no specific reasoning given in that (in English) ungrammatical non-clause. It could mean anything.

Hi Christian Guy. I too really enjoyed your post. Thank you for taking the time to write it. I just wondered what you thought of the fact that almost all scholars are certain that Paul did not write either Timothy 1 nor 2 ?
Xanthippe I am absolutely certain you are right. Like the hand washing and burial rules and your Hindi example, most of these things began on a practical basis and then folkloric ideas were subsequently added.

specifically the letter a.... .
The guy who designed probably vaguely thought the inside of the A shape looked like a book? He thought he’d choose that font as a representation of study?
