  @ Perry: She started her bat shit crazy behavior long before I left the JWs. That might be true on most cases, but borderline personality disorder knows no boundaries. Thanks though.

  Here's a view on homosexuality for you...

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower

  ...right from a pro-jw site in response to a post about the relative seriousness of homosexuality.

  all you can do is reason from the scriptures, which you appear to have done.

  homosexuality is as serious as bestiality, or adultery and fornication.

  Live and let live. Homosexuals, from what I have seen are peaceful people who just want to live their lives. How many wars were started by homosexuals? How many were started by straight people in the name of religion? In my mind war and killing is a much bigger issue.

  I like the idea ab, The only thing I would change about it would be to include some Monopoly money and some of those plastic coins from the toy section.

  Great post...

  Too bad he didn't include JWs in his article. I never really thought about whether or not any other religions had a shunning practice. Thanks for posting this. I didn't know.

  100-million man hours

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  the james webb telescope is set to launch in october of 2018 and will allow us to study the formation of first generation stars, the molecular clouds that became the first galaxies, and directly image exoplanets.

  roughly one hundred times more powerful than the hubble space telescope the jwst is going to push back the current boundaries of science.. this is what 100-million man hours can accomplish.. .

  Observations: If man is merely a machine and the universe is merely a mechanism .

  by Believer in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  observations: if man is merely a machine and the universe is merely a mechanism .... if men were only machines, they would react more or less uniformly to a material universe.

  individuality, much less personality, would be nonexistent.. materialism reduces man to a soulless automaton and constitutes him merely an arithmetical symbol finding a helpless place in the mathematical formula of an unromantic and mechanistic universe.

  but whence comes all this vast universe of mathematics without a master mathematician?

  Mark Sanderson Talk re Belgium visit

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the degradation of the governing body members continues on.

  mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.

  in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.
