Why do they believe in the gentile times again? Why would God wait so long to have an earthly organization of truth? Is this explained? Heck, why do they believe it took so long for "God's son to be born and save mankind"? =S Religion makes no sense....

Funny Watchtower Article on Homosexuality
by garbonzo intranssexualism is a word appearing with growing frequency in the news.
a transsexual is not merely a transvestite (one who dresses in clothes of the opposite sex), nor necessarily a homosexual (though that may be the case).
a transsexual is a person who rejects the sex with which he or she was born and takes up the life of the other sex.

@PaintedToeNail An approach to healing the mind would be more beneficial, but if there is none (which is commonly the case) then surgery will be more helpful then doing nothing about it. In the case of body integrity identity disorder, even though doctors won't amputee any limbs because the patient asks, I think if it would lead to suicide like gender identity disorder has, then it would be better to live as an amputee and be happy, then to die because you are unhappy. This is if healing the mind doesn't work.

by garbonzo inhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/intersex.
how do they deal with it?
most religious views of homosexuality and intersex individuals if one of the major reasons why i am an athiest now (of course with all the contradictions of the bible and other books, etc.).

@Band on the Run It surely wouldn't be fun if they were a JW, but I don't think one would be for very long. I don't think it would be such a burden for them outside a religion. Why would it be?

@Paralipomenon Good point. I wonder if it would be considered fornication, also, haha. If they pick 1 gender, then that would mean they can't use the other gender's genetalia while with a spouse? I wonder how many JWs would want a spouse like that, haha. That's if the intersex individual even reveals what they have when they are dating. Wouldn't THAT be a surprise! ahahahaha And they would be stuck with it!!! That's funny.
@sizemik So is this, haha.

I didn't actually read the whole article. I just found it funny that they said it can all be resolved by praying to God, as it's all in the mind.
@designs How do elders deal with Hermeraphrodites? This is how I found this article. I was searching for that word, and intersex and found 3 (2 and 1 respectively) search results only. I'll create a new thread for this question, also....

“Transsexualism” is a word appearing with growing frequency in the news. A transsexual is not merely a transvestite (one who dresses in clothes of the opposite sex), nor necessarily a homosexual (though that may be the case). A transsexual is a person who rejects the sex with which he or she was born and takes up the life of the other sex. Claiming they were, in effect, “born in the wrong body,” many have undergone radical surgery and hormone treatments to attain a sexual transformation. An estimated 1,500 persons in the United States and about 150 in Britain have done so. What really do they accomplish? Is it possible to change a normal person (not a hermaphrodite of ambiguous sex) from one gender to another?
The answer is, No. As Dr. Georges Burou, a French surgeon prominent in the field, says: “I don’t change men into women. I transform male genitals into genitals that have a female aspect. All the rest is in the patient’s mind.” (“Time,” Jan. 21, 1974, p. 64) In reality, the ultimate result is either a severely (and irreversibly) mutilated man who resembles a woman, or a severely (and irreversibly) mutilated woman who resembles a man.
The increase of transsexualism is but one more facet of the spread of practices “contrary to nature” characterizing much of this present period. (Compare Romans 1:26.) The remedy for those with such inclinations is not surgery but a change in outlook, ‘being made new in the force actuating their minds’ with the aid of God’s Word. — Eph. 4:22-24.
I was looking something up in the Library, and came across this article. I found it funny and wanted to share. Total ignorance.
