  I saw this the other day, and my second thought (after my first thought: "wow, that's amazing and will save lives and make other lives much more livable") was, "this is precisely the sort of thing you would never see an Awake! article about". It is after all good news that ranks right up there with "when eyes of blind ones see again, and ears of deaf ones hear again..."

  Does Genesis 19 condemn Homosexuality?

  by brotherdan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there are many "proof" texts that people (including jws) use to justify their rejection of anyone that is gay.

  there are a few scriptures that you can pull up and try to make a case for show homosexuals why they are evil and wrong.. i've been researching more of these scriptures and i'm coming to some very different conclusions than many other christians hold, especially jws.

  i wanted to talk about the first text used by many people to condemn homosexual behaviour.

  i posted some time ago about my jw neighbor and how my other neighbors mowed her yard as a courtesy.

  she was old and wheel-chair bound and they were good samaritans.

  they were not dubs.

  It's a long story and I'll cover that in a future thread as I draw closer to the time of my return.

  Just give us the gist. No need to be coy.

  If you could ask one question to an active JW to get them to open their mind about their beliefs, what would it be?

  by Franklin Massey in

  2. friends

  this question was posed to me by a poster named ice cream.

  i don't know my answer yet.

  it's one of those, "if you could have just one wish.." kind of questions.

  Do Ex-JWs have reason to be disgruntled?

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  everytime i have ever told an active jw about this forum and described it's designation they all, in essence, say the same thing.. they say that we are nitpickers, that we are all just rubbed the wrong way and can't get out of the state of disgruntlement that we have allowed ourselves to enter.

  some throw in supernatural elements some just stick to human imperfection and call it murmurings.. these kind of assertions highly imply that our anger is exaggerated or misguided; that we don't have all facts and are drawing highly speculative conclusions.. as participants on this forum how do you refute such a claim?.

  my first thought would be to point out that "murmurings" is what created the watchtower to start with.

  As far as I am concerned, I am living my life like it's golden.

  This is good; you are being re-gruntled into society.

  weird that this is the exact same subject matter that the Arizona shooter threatened his teacher over.

  why would anyone want to be a force for evil? ;)
