"my husband's not gay" a special airing on january 11 follows a group of mormon men who say they are happily married and attracted to their wives but are attracted to men also .

whhaaaaattt !!!!.

first of all don't mormons look down on the gay lifestyle, and they also shun members like jws do.. well, all i can say is i'm waiting for jw version of this show, if they're featuring mormons, the dubs must be next !.

What is truth?

2. friends
well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

Death and perspective
by Separation of Powers in
1. jw
2. friends
i realize today, at this moment in time, at this moment, this exact moment in my life the absolute futility of everything.

i sit here, at this desk, in front of this screen, my head is spinning and my mind wanders through all those moments of interaction with someone who has just left this life.

no, he wasn't a family member, he wasn't even a friend really, an acquaintance, a casual work related interaction.

i took a hiatus from jwn because the wall started to collapse because i lost several people ive known almost my entire life.

these were people i thought would never die, the lies told by the watchtower is unforgivable!

there was a party i attended keeping a low profile while documenting what was said.

LET'S HELP JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TO LOVE APOSTATES
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
simple application of logic to scripture interpretation:.

if two terms mean the same thing it should not change the meaning to exchange one word for the other.. first, jesus lays the foundation for us.

let us read.. luke 6:27-37 "but i say to you who are listening, continue to love your enemies , to do good to those hating you, to bless those cursing you, to pray for those who are insulting you.

Why were no sea creatures destroyed in the flood?
by smiddy in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
all the animals on earth were destroyed in the flood of noahs day apart from those in the ark ,apparently no sea creatures were destroyed in the flood , why is that ?.

this is not an issue that only affects jehovahs witnesses , it is one that affects all beleivers that accept the bible as gods word.. obviously sea creatures were not put on the ark , no whales ,no dolphins , no fish , no krill , no plankton etc.

you can fill in the rest .. so my question is , why were land animals / birds singled out for destruction ?, what wrong did they do to deserve this judgement against them .

Talked to Two More Witnesses Today
by new light in
1. jw
2. friends
it was the same booth as last week, with two different witnesses.

once again, i printed off the list of false prophecy quotes and walked up to them.

i asked if they were aware of the organization's history of unrealized predictions.
