  Maybe I'm Just Ignorant About the New "Anti-Gay" Video

  by turtleturtle in

  homophobia (m-w.com):.

  : irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals.

  can someone tell me, specifically, was homophobic about the new "anti-gay" wt video.

  Homophobia has become a catch-all term for the LGBTQ community equivalent of racism.

  
  

  It would be hard for someone to argue that the above statements were not racist statements.

  The same can be said for the video. It is sugar coated homophobia.

  Anyone saying the video wasn't homophobia either hasn't thought about it much, hasn't put themselves in the shoes of those that are homosexuals, or they still hold a personal prejudice themselves against the LGBTQ community.

  Just because it is someone's religious right to believe something ignorant and prejudicial does not give them freedom from criticism.

  Beliefs About What Caused the Universe

  the universe can be observed to be expanding.. an expanding universe must have had a beginning.

  whatever begins to exist had a cause.

  therefore the universe had a cause.

  Perry: I suggest perusing the Armored Skeptic YouTube channel. All your points have been refuted over and over on there.

  Also: it's okay to say I don't know when confronted with a question. What's not okay is to assume the answer is something there's no evidence for.

  45 Minute Bethel Video about Changes (downsizing) at Watchtower

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't see this posted elsewhere, and i don't have the links besides this facebook one.. but here is a 45-minute long bethel talk about the changes at bethel including addressing the hard feelings of people who were given the axe.

  basically, everything must change.

  we gave remaining bethelites saturday off to do our bidding in "the field" and we give bethelites over 70 an extra day a week off (if you can find any such bethelites).

  Haven't Bethelites had Saturday's off for years now? Seems it's been like 3-4 years they made that change.

  I'm getting baptized

  by BlackWolf in

  i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

  my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

  i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

  Answer the questions wrong. Don't let on hat you have sufficient theocratic knowledge. If the elders don't think you're ready to be baptized, then your parents can't say shit.

  I understand taking the devils advocate position, Simon and Steve2...but at this point, your position on this seems more like stubborn cynicism.

  One talk commenting for a minute or two on tight pants being a homosexual conspiracy jolted me awake. So don't you think that this could wake some up? Why so negative and pessimistic on this?

  Shooting in the foot (homophobic video)

  by Syme in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with the newly released homophobic video by the wts, it gets clearer that those people can't stop shooting themselves in the foot.

  they are already under examination and de facto trial by the australian committee; more and more people and officials in western democracies inquire into their abusive tactics and put them under the microscope, and what do they do?

  they release a video which confirms those worries.

  Phobia in the English language denotes more than just an irrational fear. It denotes an extreme dislike or antipathy also.

  The whole "hate the sin love the sinner" attitude is also still homophobic in nature. Homosexuality is only a sin because some old book says it's a sin.

  What if someone were to say, "I love religious people, but I hate it when they practice their religion. Their activities should be outlawed. We should be able to deny religious people services because I hate their practices. But I'm not hating them! Just what they're doing!"

  its a sick and twisted way of thinking

  Here's a view on homosexuality for you...

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...right from a pro-jw site in response to a post about the relative seriousness of homosexuality.

  all you can do is reason from the scriptures, which you appear to have done.

  homosexuality is as serious as bestiality, or adultery and fornication.

  Simon and Cofty are right. This isn't news. It's just exjw's looking for something to get worked up about. If it were newsworthy, there would be headlines all over the web and stories written by non-exjw's condemning the video.

  oh wait.
