Why I feel that worshiping "God" is a waste of time...
by CaptainSchmideo inhave you ever had a so-called friend who never seemed to be around when you really needed his active, participatory help, but was always good enough to show up after the fact, to lend you his "support" after the event?.
maybe he failed to show up when you needed to move furniture.
did he show up afterward, and praise you for the ability to get it done without his help?

JW's Anti-Gay position puts them in the axis of ignorance
by scotoma indarkest area is most anti-gay.
perhaps they need to focus on those areas since they seem to agree with them on this issue.

The really bad part about society accepting homosexuality is that homosexuals no longer try to go straight by getting married to a woman and having children. Since homosexuality has a genetic component this means that there will be fewer homosexuals.
How will broadway musicals, balet, and fashion survive when that gene pool drys up?
Pardon the stereotype.

Testify to ritual humiliation in the judicial process
by rory-ks inthose judicial committee videos are remarkable viewing.
(part 1, part 2) they can leave one in no doubt about the humiliating way that jehovah's witnesses treat their men.
i urge you to get hold of a copy.

There was so much in those videos that could be commented on.
I think there would be more comments except there were so many issues that were so obvious that you hardly know where to start.
Why didn't they act like the wannabe jews they are and tell him that since he got the girl pregnant he ought to marry her and take responsibility for raising the child as a witness. Sometimes a person's mate doesn't become a JW. Live with it. At least take care of the kid and who knows maybe his worldly girlfriend may become a witness once they are married and she sees that she has allies in an organization that will help her control his penis.
The part that smelled was when the coordinator asked the one elder to TALK TO JEHOVAH. That was stinky cult talk if I ever heard it.

The problem is also that you can't expect things to change quickly when psychologists viewed homosexuality as a mental illness in their diagnostic handbook up until 1973.
Modern psychology is making it clearer how much of our behavior is genetically based. Liberals need to understand that the liberal-authoritarian dimension is also not a choice but genetic.
Openness to experience/vs/fear of change has a high genetic component.

There are a broad range of anti-gay laws.
The dark areas on that map represent countries that imprison and kill practicing homosexuals even if they are consenting adults.
Russia doesn't have laws punishing homosexual acts between consenting adults. However, they ban public advocacy for homosexuality especially directed at minors.
Russia is in the anti column but not as severe as those that criminalize homosexuality and punish it with prison or death.
Russians are conservative and ignorant but not as much as the areas of the world dominated by crazy desert religions.

Darkest area is most anti-gay. Perhaps they need to focus on those areas since they seem to agree with them on this issue. Jehovah
must really love those countries.

Bizarre comment about jw.org at SAD
by sir82 inrecently attended a sad.. bethel speaker was gushing about the wt's embrace of new technology, in the part of his talk warning about "apostate" web sites.. a loose summary of his comments:.
"and the brothers at headquarters have made it very safe for you to go to our website.
in fact, the brothers talked to the folks at google, and they made a special arrangement so that when you type in 'j w period' into the google search engine, it automatically shows you the jw.org website.

This is good news. Give the closed minded people all the tools they need to stay in their little dark caves.
But, it tells you they would rather hide from challenges than confront them.
If you have the "TRUTH" why hide? Simple answer is they are scared.
They are asking for bread and fish and are given stones and snakes.

Wizzstick,
Don't be so sure that the Watchtower will not be involved. They are an easy group to attack. They are like the canaries in the mineshaft.
They are early targets for authoriatarian regimes.

Should Government Dictate To Religious Organizations What They Must Do If It Violates The Beliefs Of The Religion?
by minimus inif the catholic church doesn't want to support abortions in any way, i don't think she should be penalized by the government.. your thoughts?
?.

The Catholic Church is hypocritical on this issue.
The Catholic Church was officially against the "unjust war" in Iraq.
Their members still had to pay taxes which supported the war.
If the Church is an employer and is required by the government to use insurance that provides for abortion or birth control as part of a government mandated requirement of all insurance companies then they ought to comply.
What are Christian Scientists going to do? They don't believe in ANY health care. Should they be exempt as employers from providing insurance?

Zbigniew Bryezinski -- National Security Advisor Carter Administration
Without Ukraine Russia ceases to be empire, while with Ukraine - bought off first and subdued afterwards, it automatically turns into empire…According to him, the new world order under the hegemony of the United States is created against Russia and on the fragments of Russia. Ukraine is the Western outpost to prevent the recreation of the Soviet Union. The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives written in 1997
Why didn't the Watchtower stick to the idea that Russia/USSR was the King of the North?
The stage has been set for a major confrontation between the USA and Russia.
Putin made the idea of a Eurasian Union a foundation of his desire to be reelected in 2012.
Just when Putin is basking in the glow of being the olympic host Ukraine slides toward the west.
So a lot of things are coming together.
Peace in Israel possibly in April
Blood moon on the Passover
Passover on April 14 the same date of the passover where Titus began his final attack on Jerusalem that led to its destruction. (Which also involved an eclipse of the moon)
And sudden elections called after a coup de tat in Ukraine for the Month of May.
Will Putin do something to destabilize the west with some kind of faux terrorist attack blamed on disgruntled Arabs?
Daniel 8:23-25
23 “In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise. 24 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people. 25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
Maybe nothing will happen. Of course nothing will happen. Nothing alarming ever happens in this wonderful stable world of advanced technology and civil progress.
The barbarian world is in retreat. Just a few crazed Kazaks that like to beat up women with knotted horse whips.
Poison gas used on the Syrian population with no consequences.
Hey! The USA is solid. United like never before. A beloved president with his loyal opposition. This is the USA's greatest moment.
Nothing will happen.
