so the bible condones slavery
the bible says you should be killed for touching a pig skin
you should be killed for working on sunday.

Lots of things that the WT has acknowledged just don't fit into modern life.
Why not say - hey - the evidence is that Homosexuality is NORMAL - and that about 10% of all mammals exhibit homosexual or bisexual activity - so maybe its not for us to judge.

It is relevant, the ones that don't find a mate are expected to remain celibate.
The JW position is no sex outside marriage. It's ridiculous but it isn't hate.
COFTY the one problem with that - is that a Heterosexual person can at some point find a mate - even if it takes a while - and they can openly pursue that course - a Homosexual person can NEVER find a mate - or even be open about his or her feelings.
BIG BIG DIFFERENCE!
i've been confronting my mother with her dubious parenting skills (abuse) of me as a child.
particularly the beatings i would get with the wooden spoon.
not a light smack but hitting me as hard as she could for as long as she could.

"I wouldn't describe this as inciting hate"
So I guess you have to view it as if you are a Same Sex couple. How do you think it would make you feel?
Feel like God just loves the crap out of you? And that JW are so loving?
I don't think so.

I guess when guys in ancient israel had Harems (i.e. David - Soloman..) the few hundred wives and concubines never ever had sex with each other? They just took a turn every few years or so with their king.
And I'm sure the godly man David was never banging 2, 3, 4 or more of his wives and sex slaves (concubines) at the same time.
And I'm sure that never happened in the majority of polygamous marriages, especially since they all lived in big homes with separate rooms the other wives could go to when it wasn't their turn.
And didnt one of the old story books talk about the Male Temple prostitutes? I don't think they were there for the pleasure of women:)

Disgusting!
according to quantum theory and non-locality, two particles, can act in unity.
for example, take a and b (photons or electrons for example).
pair them, then separate them, and put them on either side of the planet.
Quantum effects can not be compared to ANYTHING or have any effect in the MACRO world.
NONE.

i myself, jehovah, will speed it up in its own time.—isa.
like many others on here i was raised and spent many years of my life looking forward to , and basing my life around the anticipated "new world" .this utopian paradise would "satisfy the desire of every living thing".
we would enjoy eternal youth in perfect health,have abundant good food ,comfortable homes ,even welcome our parents and forebears back from the dead - what's not to like?i found this description of a dystopian world on the net :"characteristics of a dystopian society• propaganda is used to control the citizens of society.• information, independent thought, and freedom are restricted.• a figurehead or concept is worshipped by the citizens of the society.• citizens are perceived to be under constant surveillance.• citizens have a fear of the outside world.• citizens live in a dehumanized state.• the natural world is banished and distrusted.• citizens conform to uniform expectations.
individuality and dissent are bad.• the society is an illusion of a perfect utopian world."hmm.
It would be hell on earth.
How does it start out as we are told?
WIll you be able to live where you want? NO
Will you be able to do the work you want? NO
Are you still subject to men on earth to tell you what to do (i.e. the dukes and princes) YES
Are you still one mistake away from being killed? YES
Do you have to watch everything you do say and think? YES
I could go on and on.
he is just days away from graduation with his bachelor's in english, and today, he has an interview with a recruiter for an agency that help with finding teaching positions in south korea.. i took it upon myself to research the company and his interviewer, and it's been high marks all around on both of them.
so that's a great ease on my mind.i just hope the interview (over the phone) goes well, and results in the next steps to getting a position.my son spent a month in seoul last summer, an loved the place.
he has friends out there as well, including a young man that he attended classes with here in the states, so i think that's a real plus in taking this very giant leap.when i was his age, i was slowly working my way through a two year degree, still living at home, and aspiring to nothing more than a job as a repairman.
