Even when I was a believer I used to think it should be legal. It doesn't affect my life so why should I care? Heck, even my uber dub mom thought the same way.

Where can Gay people get married in the USA?
by fulltimestudent init does not seem long ago that the answer was, nowhere.
and yahweh and jesus don't seem to mind, they arn't hurling fire and brimstone or making it flood everywhere.
life goes on as normal, people are, "eating and drinking, men are marrying men and women are being given to other women, just as they have been doing in many places on this globe for as long as humans have been on the earth.

Christian bakery ordered to pay $150 000 to gay couple
by cofty inan oregon bakery that refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage has lost its appeal..... the judge has ordered 'sweet cakes by melissa' to pay $150 000 damages to rachel and laurel bowman-cryer.. discrimination is illegal, and religious superstition is not an excuse.
how long before jws land in court under similar circumstances?.

On one hand if I were being gay married and they refused to make a cake I'd be more than happy to take my business elsewhere
On the other IT'S A FRIGGIN CAKE. JUST BAKE THE FRIGGIN CAKE. I can understand if you are a priest or something and you don't want to perform the wedding but IT'S A CAKE. YOU AREN'T ACTUALLY MARRYING THE PEOPLE

American Sniper - courage or cowardice?
by Simon inthe movie american sniper is breaking box office records and of course there is some irony that a movie about a sniper is released on martin luther king day (who was shot by one).. but of course there is a world of difference between an assassin and a military sniper ... or is there?.
some are making a big stink about it and claiming that "snipers are cowards".
it seems unfair to me.

I've found that most of the people who don't like the movie just don't like Chris Kyle. I have also found that people project their particular views of the war on the movie. I wish they had focused more on the PTSD aspect a little more especially after his last tour.

For an organization that has told its members to not plan for a pre-Armageddon future, they sure do a lot of it. -

Consequences of staying on the recommended Hotel list
by Samaritan At the Well ini wanted to share an experience i had and see if anyone else had encountered this same matter.
we always tried to make an extra effort to ensure we stood on the approved hotel lists when going to our special day conventions or district conventions or what they now call regional.
we use to stay many nights a year and i would save up my hotel points to use at a later time.. i remember checking in at popular chain hotel and asked the hotel clerk how many points would i earn for the 3 night stay?

The people closest to the Presiding Overseer were always the ones to get first glance at the list of hotels. So we typically got stuck with the cruddy hotels 45 minutes away. -

Circuit Overseer Field Service Advice
by MrFreeze inlol for some reason i was just reminded about the time a circuit overseer told my mom a good method of talking to householders was to say the following things "i don't have too much time to talk to you" or "i'm very busy today so i'll only share this one thought.
" .
i know if i had been at the door i woulda said "if you are so busy why the hell are you wasting time knocking on my door butthead?

The example of the widow shows exactly why time sheets should not be required. The amount you give is not important. -

List your favorite, overused scripture by JW's!
by thedepressedsoul inthe title says it all.
list a scripture that is way over used.. it could be a scripture that the point is completely missed by how they use it.
it could also be one that they use so much it's as if the rest of the bible didn't exits.. my two favorite are proverbs 4:18 and ezekiel chapter 1 +a few verses.

Good Netflix shows to watch
by Simon inin the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).
house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

I'm sure someone already said it but Arrested Development. If you don't find that show funny then you need to do some soul searching.
