  I always wondered how the WTS could condemn buying lottery tickets
  but it was ok to play the stock market.
  To me it's the same.
  You take a couple of dollars and buy a couple of lottery tickets
  or you take a couple of dollars and buy some stocks.

  Not that I in any way approve of the WTS choice to shun people for playing the lottery, but, the stock market is NOT the same. You may choose to "play" it as if it was the same, but it is not a game of chance for the people who are using your money for their business. And, while it may not seem this way right now, for one person to make money in the stock market, another person does NOT have to lose money. That is very different from gambling.

  I've heard this argument before, and frankly, it doesn't hold water for me. The only similarity that exist would be in the attitude of the "player". Funny, it is the attitude that the WTS condemns, and rightly so, perhaps. However, since no one can really read anothers motivation, I do think they should just butt out.

  Stupidity, lies and cheating

  in a post in another thread our friend achristian talkes about apparent contradictions, not bad considering the bible is full of the most glaring contradictions all over the place, but they say that faith can move mountains.

  anyway, let us take a look at one of the stories from the bible, which demonstrate the twisted logic and completely relativistic morals of god and his chosen heroes.

  take abraham for instance.. *** rbi8 genesis 20:1-18 ***.

  It's pretty interesting that the non-Isrealite heathens are portrayed as having such moral character that they care about Isrealite marriages to such an extent.

  Isn't the tie a phallic symbol

  i seem to remember reading somewhere that the tie is a phallic symbol.

  can anybody shed any light on that.

  if this is so it should go the way of beards, birthdays, the cross, rock music, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

  Watching sister Ball absentmindedly twirl a yellow hi-lighter across her lips and tongue seemed very phallic to me.

  The "Ransom Sacrifice" short version.

  by Norm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the christian part of the world not many of us have escaped the much hyped and published sacrifice christ supposedly made when the romans executed him.. i myself was going around for years parroting this strange concept without giving it much thought.

  thinking and faith some times do not mix very well.. anyway, apparently god made a royal blunder when he created the first humans and they plunged mankind into death and despair first crack out of the box, while god stood by and watched helplessly.

  then we are told that god for this reason, in his infinite wisdom took mankind for ransom for thousands of years.

  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.

  I have to say that same sex attraction is a total mystery too me, women have so much allure! Still its all down to freedom of choice, so if it`s your cup of tea enjoy it!

  I'm with you on that, Englishman. Like you (I suspect), I realize that my thoughts and feelings on something I have zero internal experience with, have less than zero importance, in the big picture, for those who do have a particular experience.

  I saw a great bumpersticker the other day: "I'm straight, but not narrow".

  Homosexuality in the animal kingdom is prevalent

  Hmmmmm... how have I missed that? Is that true? Prevalent??? Please document.

  Alan, your are absolutely right. I hope my comments are not taken as a "dig". I have enjoyed reading post by, and learned from, both of my uncles.

  It just seemed odd that anyone would confuse the two of them.
