On the Relevancy of The Institutionalization of Sin

by Perry in

child murder, sodomy & corrupting the human genome are not new sins, they are old ones.

what is new is their institutionalization.

but even that isn't totally new.

Fink, I wouldn't say its a genetic defect, but a genetic variance. Like blue eyes.

Which brings me to a question, have they found the 'gay' gene? I don't recall a news story about this, but it seems probable they will if they haven't already.

I Don't Get It!

by John Aquila in

there are literally about thirty young single very good looking sisters in this one kingdom hall under the age of 30. that is just one kingdom hall.

in the circuit there are literally hundreds of young beautiful jw girls under 30 who are single and anxious to get married.

about two years ago, this one single good looking brother who is about 30 years old and who is an elder married this plain looking sister who is 59 years old.

Some men just like a more mature woman. Maybe their personalities go great together and they love eachother. Plus she has a good job and a home, kinda takes the pressure off.

im so not an ageist, whatever people want to do.

JW's are semi-trinitarians and do not understand the Sacret Secret

by paradisebeauty in

i have been searching pro and anti arguments for trinity, and found out there are anti-trinitarians who believe jesus did not preexist before his human life.

and i am thinking, it kind of makes sense.

what if yahweh created a second adam.

FayeDunaway

You have some interesting thoughts, but Where does john 1:1 fit into this theory? In the beginning the word was, and the word was with god, and the word was god.

Also colossians where it says jesus created all things.

Jesus is the only begotten son of God because man begets man, but God begets god. Jesus is the only begotten son of God because he is the the only one in the same substance of his being, and exact image.

Songs celebrating leaving the faith? Not being a puppet, mind controlled, living life, etc etc

by aley63 in

i am looking for some songs that are in ref to celebrating leaving, seeing the light, realizing what you were told wasnt right, being happy w your life, etc etc.

all those emotions about being controlled and repressed, being told what you can feel or think or how to live, blindly following the "brotherhood ".

I've got to look up this muse song! How did I miss it!!

What percentage of the population are gay?

by fulltimestudent in

during the long debate on the question of gay marriage, there have been many competing answers to the question of, "how many people are gay?".

a very anti-gay christian minister in sydney, the reverend fred nile, (who is also a member of the state parliament) claims that the percentage is as low as 1%.. some university (u.of new south wales) research in sydney has suggested 5%, but the authors of the study cautioned that there was a problem in the fact that an unknown number of respondents would likely not admit to being gay.. there are other problems in asking the question.

for example, what does being gay mean?

FayeDunaway

Kaik, you always have something interesting to say.

i definitely don't this time, but I feel stupid for my word typo above. I meant to say 'same sex' and said 'other sex.'

My thoughts on the RC 2015

by StarTrekAngel in

having endured three days of dashing attempts at further indoctrination, i feel the need to write up some of the stuff i left with.

it is just good therapy.. right away the change was noticeable in the air.

the assembly hall in la feria, tx still smells like new.

Lieu, you sound like me! I was so excited after my friend told me she saw them at smart & final, but I searched and she was mistaken :(. Dang! They were so good. Some years I was all about the apple, some years all about the cheese. Sometimes you could sneak eating some during the program too. Esp during the drama! Take the Danish out of the plastic during music or applause, eat it in the dark :).

im seriously craving one of those Danishes. It's been how many years? 15? 20?

It seems important to specify 'gay' as meaning those EXCLUSIVELY attracted to the other sex. I believe the 5 to 10 percent is probably accurate. But people who may be bisexual or slightly lean bisexual are much much more plentiful, especially women who are attracted primarily to men but also to their own sex.

My trip to the landfill

by hoser in

it was with great pleasure and with mrs hosers blessing that i took all of our bound volumes and other obsolete jehovah's witness books to the local landfill.

i threw them into the garbage pile and watched as a crawler tractor drove over them to pack them down.

FayeDunaway

We recycled all our bound volumes. Ripped the covers off first tho, to make it easier for the recycling company. A good thing about the new no hardcovers policy is it makes them super easy to just toss in the recycling :).

We have a few of the old nwt, tho, including the old green one. Also kept a new songbook and the old mustard colored songbook (wow, why that color, of all colors. And you had to look at it twice a week).

I wish I had a pink songbook, I always liked that one.
