  Sorry, what. If you want to get technical. xD

  I'm just asking what their reasoning is on this. Why they believe it. I know they use a scripture and say this is a prophecy, etc. But do they explain why God would wait so long? lol

  @glenster Your Avatar: GTASA for the win. =D GTA IV wasn't as good as San Andreas because it didn't have the sprawling map. Liberty City is so damn small, lol. GTA V I hope will be really epic.

  Funny Watchtower Article on Homosexuality

  by garbonzo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.

  @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.

  http://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.).

  @Violia I see no reason why they would want surgery if they have a fully functioning genitalia of their chosen sex.

  @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.
