  SEX BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS NOT WRONG

  by JohnTron72 in

  2. beliefs

  i replied to a lesbian on the quora website who tried to state that god destroyed sodom because of the violent rape the people were trying to commit, not because they were homosexuals.

  her argument perperuated so often was that it stated nothing about sex between "two consenting adults".

  but, instead of using the bible scriptures such as a man shall not lay down with another as a woman, i used something else you never hear anyone use.... i told her to look to genesis 6:1-4 .

  Maybe that's why there is all the war, genocide, oppression, murder, assault?

  God is too busy worrying about two gals that are carpet munchers or two guys sucking c * * k.

  Even the best politicians would find it hard to match the WT's art of putting the spin on anything they way they want it to appear.

  lots of hospitals have hired jw's as bloodless care manager.

  if they find out that a jw agrees to take blood, what is their protocol in such a case?

  usa scenario so hippa is a factor.

  Official policy now says taking a transfusion is not a DF'ing matter. Quite simply someone has "left the faith" (DA'd) by their choice (actions) if they are not repentant about caving in a moment of spiritual weakness when agreeing to accept a transfusion.

  This way WTS can claim that they take no punitive action against one accept blood transfusions to save their life or the life of a loved one. Of course, we know that when they say that person has by their own choice disassociated themself, it means the same damn thing.

  Lots of seeds were actually planted by a “Bible Study”. Claimed he was not getting his info online. I think now they was BS. The TTATT is a lot more reasonable and convincing than The Troof.

  U.S. Politics on Australian news. Is it a correct summary?

  by jonahstourguide in

  hi to all americans.. i read this interesting summary of politics in the u.s. at the moment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/us-politics-wrap-debt-ceiling-nancy-pelosi/100503466.

  is it 'on the money' so to speak?.

  i ask because i often read reports of what's going on here in australia in overseas media.

  I watch Australian Sky News on YouTube. It seems spot on though admittedly aligned with the conservative side of the aisle.

  Hospital would be liable if their employee broke HIPPA confidentiality. If that kind of thing happens expect the lawyers to get in line. Hospitals have deep pockets. If they can prove WTS “encourages” JW employees to break HIPPA — now there is another set of deep pockets!!!

  At least I was young and dumb and had more energy to use back then.

  I think I once heard another similar version of that statement, tho not so "G-Rated".

  Any signs that Kingdom Halls will re-open soon or door to door work will re-start again?

  by eyeslice in

  i've not heard anything from pimi wife about going back to the khs yet let alone the door to door work.. many churches round here have re-opened if only for private pray and i am guessing that things like singing may be a factor in the reluctance of the witnesses to get back together again.

  i also detect that many older ones are still quite afraid to go anywhere they may come in contact with people, even for shopping.

  on the other hand, here in uk you can now go to a football match with 70,000 others shouting and chanting.. the door to door work may a total different issue.

  But they continue to ask for money during these virtual assembly

  I was told at our recent Zoom circuit assembly they announced that the expenses for the program were $5,000. OF course, that's a heap better than the $15K - $20K that in-person assemblies at the already paid-for Assm Halls were costing, but a Zoom meeting at $5000?
