It's cultural...
Kind of like the wedding ring... it has no connotation today...
So why not say "Bless You" then next time someone sneezes. Ok??

Joel P. Engardio's article on JWs (Washington Post)
by behemot injehovah's witnesses: a model for church and state begin blogger thumbs end blogger thumbs by joel p. engardio.
if i'm ever allowed to legally marry, my mother won't attend my wedding.. i'm a gay man and my mom is one of jehovah's witnesses.
to remain true to her faith, she can't in good conscience be part of a same-sex marriage celebration.

Yahweh's Witnesses
by brotherdan inquestion:.
since we do not know what the divine name actually was and how it was pronounced, why does the wt insist on "jehovah"?.
the divine name brochure answers this on page 8. it says, "when it came to gods name, instead of putting the proper vowel signs around it, in most cases they put other vowel signs to remind the reader that he should say adho?nai.

Elders calling me in an hour
by bottleofwater inokay, if you haven't figured me out yet, read my past forum posts.. so the 2 elders wanted to meet up with me for the last time today to talk to me, but i told them that i want to talk on the phone and not in person as i can speak more freely and have less inhibitions.. they found out that i had committed acts of homosexuality with a few people and they still want to keep me in the congregation somehow.. i, myself, don't feel repentant over what i did and don't really regret much.
if i came across an opportunity to actually be in a relationship with someone and it were to appeal to me, i could potentially take that opportunity.. so now, i need to know what to tell them when they call me in an hour from now.
i want to be able to let them know that i don't mind being disfellowshipped and that i'm not repentant.

Yes, but I'm living with my uncle for now in another city. Maybe it makes sense to leave?

Should a Christian see the movie "AVATAR"?
by skeeter1 ini give the movie a 6.5 score.
the scenery was wonderful, but the plot was not zipped up well.
it sort of follows the story-line of "dances with wolves", but in space.. .

So what do I say so that way my words and opinions stand???
