  Should JW's and Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this morning my nearest and dearest were discussing issues relating to adoption.

  a close relative of the family has been turned down as an adoptive parent because he and his wife are too wealthy!.

  the adoption people say that it is important that children have some negative input into their lives, apparently not having money worries can be bad for you.. we carried on talking and her ladyship asked me whether jw`s ever adopted children.

  Question for gay people

  by expatbrit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the question is about the term "tolerance" or "tolerating".. when someone says something along the lines of "i'm very tolerant of gay people" or "gay people should be tolerated", how do you feel?.

  the reason i ask is this: doesn't the concept of tolerating something imply a background negative?

  for instance, i can say "i tolerate my brother-in-law".

  We'll have a gay ol' time

  by riz in

  i recall having a conversation with a friend about homosexuality not too long ago.

  he put a new spin on the subject that i had never thought of before.

  he said his opinion was that the bible condemns homosexuality for the simple fact that the act of sex between same-sex partners does not produce children.

  2. friends

  i need your help to find support groups in japan for a jw i met online who is very down in the dumps.

  she is very lonely and doesnt feel welcome in her own congregation, and her job situation is bad as well.

  she needs somebody to talk to and im afraid she will commit suicide if she doesnt find somebody to talk to soon.

  the title of this thread was one of the stumbling blocks of my study.

  as a single full time father(with no time for dating)of a soon to be tenage son this was a major point of imprt to me.

  the point came up during a discussion on porneia(sp?).
