What's the Worst Gossip You Heard About Why You were DF'ed, Faded or Left and Never Came Back? They say "I am gay!"

by PhilsWager2 in

your going to enjoy the latest rumor i heard why i have not been to meeting for around nine months, i am a homosexual!

i was caught having a drink at one of the gay bars for business, yes people still talk business in bars.

revelation 17:4).and murderers, and fornicators (cf.

When left the Org in the 80's, South Africa was still very much under the heel of apartheid. Political organizations such as the African National Congress (Nelson Mandela's political party) who were representing the oppressed black population, were outlawed as terrorist organizations. Havimg being raised with Zulus and Xhosas I abhorred racism and racial injustice and would often passionately engage in anti-apartheid discussions. I had one such discussion with a JW ( now Df'd) and let my hatred for the apartheid government be known. Some time later I learned via the grape vine that I was apparently associating with terrorists and the rumor had gone so far as to suggest I had even harbored insurgents from a training camp in Mozambique. This may not seem like much, but had I not been in the military at the time these rumors may well have ended with me being detained by the authorities.

Dont let anyone fool you that all Org zombies have your best interests at heart.

by purrpurr in

Morals are a personal decision. You can have the best parental and social guidance possible but unless one chooses to exercise self discipline and live by those morals chosen, all the guidance in the world amounts to naught. Parenting and social structures can be coercive or enforce the accepted morals of a society but in the end it is up to the individual to live by those morals.

Morals are also extremely subjective since they vary so greatly between cultures, countries (politics) and respective beliefs. Because one may not agree with someone else's morals it does not necessarily make them immoral. When people decide to impose their morals on others they end up treading a fine line between impeding on legitimate freedom and creating a happy, moral society. It's no different to imposing religious or political beliefs on others.

This is why I go by a simple rule: as long as what I do in my life does not harm other creatures psychologically, physically or deny them their freedom, then I am not being immoral in any way, so I'll be damned if I'll let anyone else impose their moral views on me and harm me psychologically, physically or deny me my freedom to live my life within my own moral framework. Depriving others of their freedom based on one's own morals can in itself be immoral.

Is homosexuality ever justifiable? I say YES!!!

by TimothyT in

in the january 2012 awake, pages 28-29 there is another article about homosexuality.. .

the writers argue that genetics, the environment, and sexual abuse do not justify homosexuality.

the bible clearly states that homosexuality is wrong and is an abhorrent sin.

Never understood how it's anyone's damn business who someone chooses to love. Good for you Tim and I wish you and your partner a long, happy and fulfilling life together.

On a side note: i believe gay couples are a boon to humanity. They are less likely to add to our already over populated planet, adopt unwanted children and shower them with love and furnish them with a stable home and the promise of a future that many heterosexual parents are unable to do or couldn't bother with. This is something civilization is in dire need of.

Heaven: well put. This is exactly part of the cause for pedophilia amongst Catholic Priests - being forced to abstain from acceptable sexual behavior!

Using Governing Body Member Jackson Testimony To The Royal Commission, For A Defense Before A Judicial Committee Meeting

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i think that a person that is called before a judicial committee can use a recording of the trial and force the elder to view it because of jackson's statement to the commission and get off.

i think mr jackson has said enough about people who wish to leave the witnesses as not being harassed, hunted down, or spied upon and such to get the elder off your back and give them a "good witness".. also to be highlighted is the fact that jackson has stated under oath that the governing body is willing to reexamine doctrine and policy in order to conform to the law,.

i think many statements by gb jackson to the commission can be used by some one clever and thus escape the label of apostate and be unhindered to a large extent of speaking to others.. .

I have to agree with Morpheus and Oubliette. I doubt they would ever entertain a request to review anything which falls outside of the rigid Org framework. Just watch the JC undercover videos out there ...

Women are Women and Men are men in the Real World , apparently not in J.W.`s world.

by smiddy in

according to j.w.`s the 144000 are a literal number of people , both men and women taken from the earth to rule with christ jesus in the heavens .this would also include judging in this role.

(see another thread about women as judges).

women in the religion of j.w.`s have no place in leadership roles ,cannot be elders , ministerial servants , or serve in any position of authority , and have no teaching voice in any congregation .. yet faithful anointed women can , upon their death rule with christ jesus in heaven for 1000 years according to j.w.

As I've mentioned before. I would assume their argument would be that heavenly spirits are sexless and thus do not fall under the same rules.

There is a huge difference between staring at a lady or "undressing her with your eyes" and giving an appreciative glance. People tend to forget that above all we're nothing more than animals with higher intelligence and a higher degree of cognitive ability. We're subject to the same laws of attraction as animals because we are influenced by the same hormones which apparently "He" created us with in the first place (so blame him I suppose). We have the ability to comprehend beauty and sexuality and I will say to anyone's face that they are a liar if they claim to not find some degree of enjoyment in appreciating the beauty of a fellow human.

Then there is another aspect to it. I can look at someone and admire their genetics, an athlete as an example. I see someone with a low center of gravity and think what a great power lifter or wrestler he/she would make. Or study someone's physique and ponder whether that person enjoys running or swimming. Looking at someone does not automatically imply sexual interest, that's preposterous! Talk about being presumptuous Lord Savior Jackson, how's that for presumptuous!
