Whenever some ignorant so-and-so says that being gay is "a choice", I always throw it back at them and ask them if they remember when they made a choice to be straight.

17The WTS and Same-Sex Marriage
by Quendi inwe all know the wts position on same-sex marriage, but i thought it was interesting to see this piece on its website.
i think what intrigues me the most is that the wts approach is, as i once told the elders on my judicial committee, "inadequate, incomplete and insufficient".
the peice then goes on to give the typical fairy-tale solution to what it perceives as a problem with the experience of someone they call "nathan" and how he was able to completely change thanks to god's holy spirit working on him.

AJWRB---What Have They Done???
by minimus ini still never really understood what these phantoms ever did.
i've read many praiseworthy comments lauding the site or people behind it.
but in reality, what major good have they done to change jehovah's witnesses' views on blood?.

minimus,
I think the best results of AJWRB are in terms of educating the public, innoculating them regarding the WTS position on blood transfusions.
The medical community is one arena where understanding the nuances and keeping current with the changes in doctrine can save lives.
Personally, I'm glad that the Bulgaria info is archived there, because it's hard to find it anywhere else on the internet.

GB Tirebiter:
Wouldn't it be funny if the WTS decided to can the DVDs because of our exposure of Sparlock?
They can't deny they made it--the DCMA "take-down" notices they sent to Amelia Ashton are a legal claim that they own the copyrights to the Sparlock videos. The Watchtower have admitted it: Sparlock is their baby!
I posted that comment before the DCMA take-down notice was issued. Even if they did decide to can the videos related to Sparlock now, they've gone and shot themselves in the foot with a legal paper trail. I love it!

Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if they did, because it would feed into the Apostates™-making-up-$h!t thing.

The Money is Interest-Free, People!!!
by Yan Bibiyan ininspired by another thread on the "who are doing jehovah's will today", i did a little digging into the masterpiece.. pg 25. talks sbout khs and there is the revelation:.
"...they (khs) are built with donations made to a central fund.
in every kingdom hall, there is another contribution box for kingdom hall construction worldwide.

20 years ago when the local JWs were jonesing to build a new KH, the WTS wouldn't even give them the time of day until they had secured and paid for land. The amount of the loan would not exceed the value of the property, IOW, the property was collateral for the loan. The construction was undertaken by volunteers, i.e., free labour. The loan itself came from a fund that was comprised of donated money, and at the time, the WTS *did* charge interest.
Once the loan was paid off, the congregation was still responsible for paying a monthly per capita amount based on the number of publishers, i.e., rent.
The congregation apparently does not own the building or the property - because rent is paid to a landlord, i.e., the WTS.

Too bad, I was going to suggest Indian or Thai.
Something like Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka, Butter Chicken or a Biryani for Indian food, or Nguoc Cham or Pad Thai if you were going for Vietnamese or Thai. They are spicy, but sooo delicious. The dishes can be more spicy by adding hot sauces if you want.
