ok, sometimes i go to jw.org just to laugh a bit about the 'food at the proper time', and i would like to know what people think of this hillarious article 'am i attracted to the same sex.
does that mean i am gay?'.
this has to be one of the most remarkable pieces of logic (last paragraph of the article).. the bibles stand is not unreasonable.
TheListener,
I was around through the 80s and, although I don't ever remember reading it officially, that was always my understanding.
We did have a transgender coming to our hall for a while and they were told that to get baptised they would have to concede to being a man.
Concede may not be the right word but they would have to live like a man. I forget what we did for restroom usage.
it seems pretty impotent to me if it is.. let's assume, for the sake of argument, that they are merely 'spirit-directed', as opposed to 'inspired'.
and let's assume that there is even a difference(other than semantics) to begin with.
neither claim is validated by the end result.
Maybe it is, just not the way they think it is.
If someone was speaking in your name and you couldn't stop them directly what would you do? And if you could direct what they were saying so that it made them look stupid what would you do?

WatchTower87,
Just curious wht the adf.ly link is for? You don't seem to need it. I can get directly to the file on sendspace without going through the advertisement.
i'm welcoming your trip tips, and want to know about fun things to do.. i'm staying at caesars.
Put it all on Red, you can't lose!
i have been going to meetings since i was a child, long story short only recently i've started taking the truth seriously, i am not baptized but just an unbaptized publisher.
truth is i am so lonely in the congregation.
the other young people in the cong don't like me because they dont think i am going to "stay" for long, i've even worked on the ministry with an older brother and asked her am i giving the wrong impression to people?
Think long and hard about why you want to stay. Not why you should stay but why you want to. Then ask yourself if you will really get what you want by staying.
If you have prayed about it, and I assume you have, take a hard look at the answers you are getting. Don't let fear cloud your judgement when you do. It is very easy to ignore the answers because of fear of being wrong.
If the JWs told you about all kinds of good things that will happen to you by being a JW then ask yourself if any of them have come true. (sounds like you have been around them long enough to know)

I love that show, funny and good natured. I think I have watched them all on youtube.
when i was preschool, i had several dolls.
meetings were so hard at that age.
in fact, they were agony my entire life.
Interesting, I don't remember thinking about this before or any specific rules but I also don't remember ever bringing toys to the hall or seeing anyone with them. Some moms brought wooden spoons.
What a weird religion.
It's like they use a dartboard to choose the rule uh I mean suggestion of the week.
hi everyone,.
just wanted to encourage y'all to try out ubuntu, the free and amazing operating system (alternative to windows) at ubuntu.com .
i can help anyone if they don't know how to install it.. also, don't forget to use openoffice.org office suite over microsoft office.
Chromium OS is going to be a popular OS going forward. Windows 8 is terrible and costly. Linux, including Ubuntu, can be challenging for the casual user. This makes both of them less desirable. Although I haven't played with Chromium, I hear it’s simple, cheap and pre-configured to take advantage of the cloud. I like the idea but I’m not a big fan of Google using all my personal info. Unless the next version of Windows is a lot better I'll likely be moving to some version of Linux at least on my primary computer.
in harmony with acts 6:1-7, what is the gb giving back to the r&f?
the post about the cos being retired and recent wt articles about caring for older ones made me think.
the gb is doing everything to cut costs while at the same time asking for more sacrifices.
Thanks for the laugh pbrow..
using light on a filament thinner than a strand of hair and lined with mirrors researchers have been able to bind organic and inorganic materials to be used in solar cells and lighting.. this is cool stuff.

Whats wrong with kids these days! When I was young I was out preaching about the glue that brings everlasting life.
So many amazing things to learn about in th world. I wonder if the JWs think of stuff lilke this when they talk about having a fullfilling life in the new system? I always had the feeling that it was more about going back 200 years and everone would be farming and stuff.
