getting a visit tommorow our kids that are in are concerned as to why we are missing meetings.
our family is basically ignored by the congregation long story we just don't want to go anymore.
i have told the kids how rotten i have been treated and also i have had some seriou health issues but you know you should still be at the meetings.
Who arranged it?
Grin and bear it if you cant avoid it and dont say anything controversial.
Lie or avoid if given the loyalty questions. (do you believe the fds is god chosen chanel / do you still believe in jehovah etc etc.)
I would never allow myself to cornered into it in the 1st place but we all have different circumstances and paths to freedom.
Keep what you say to a minimum and hopefully it will just be seen as "encouragment".
So "fractions" are ok?
Sperm and eggs are just fractions and dont count? If life is so sacred to you, your view on these two vital elements appears to require a rethink.
No shades of grey then, just black and white?
If pregnancy is so unbearably sacred at what point in your thinking is it ok to interfere with it? Contraception for instance?
We come back to "every sperm is sacred"... dont we?
USR when you think, do you hear a whisling noise like a breeze passing thru your ears?
If the choice of cutting your rope or her granddaughters rope in a life or death only choose one option, which one do you really think she would choose? There is in fact almost no choice at all because it is weighted 99.9% toward saving the granddaughter in the 1st place.
Does she have a right to? Rights go out the window in those scenarios, ... life or death situations rarely boil down to "rights".
So trying to link it to the "rights" of the unborn is pointless.
love is a stupid bunch of chemicals released to ensure that we have kids so believe many an evolutionist (god delusion).
whilst i dont believe in a god i find that reasoning hard to believe.. .
what do you think love is?
Not quite USR, I thought this when I was a god fearing JW.
Love is a very broad spectrum, so yes it is a very simplistic view to have about it (or certain parts of it).

what do you think love is?
Exactly that. I call it a chemical trap.
It's a poor point unstop seeking equality of value so you can tranfer it onto the unborn...
Under law you and Jgant are equal, but in a moral dilema like the titanic disaster it was woman and children first. Equality goes out the window under such circumstances.
is it appropriate for a christian to own a cat, in light of their past pagan religious affiliation and the medical information that is now coming to light?
it would be misleading to answer this question with either a simple yes or a no.
the scriptural answer of necessity must be a qualified one, and it is easy to see why.
LOL @ Christains... (that's Christ Stains for you Unstop)
bible describes ingratitude as one of the characteristics of last days.
people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money ....ungrateful.... etc.
(2 timothy 3:2) it seems this prophecy about people becoming ungrateful is having its fulfillment more than 100%.. i was watching an interview on the tv the other day.
"The point is this: Something somewhere is dangerously lacking, making Bible prophecy accurate!"
With leaps of logic like that, you will end up in a mental hospital.
Either, stop and think, or stop thinking.
