(((HUGS RAY!!!))) You rock.
ThiChi, you haven't answered my question about what affect this has on your life. Why so passionate about this? Everything you're saying about it can be applied to a consensual relationship between a hetero couple.

ThiChi, the act itself is a matter of personal preference, and protection is a matter of personal responsibility. I would argue that placing a penis into a vagina without protection could be a death sentence. Not only that, and you don't have to be gay to have anal sex.
My argument is that people love people; whether it's a man loving a woman, or a man loving a man or a woman loving a woman. How those consensual adults choose to express that love for each other is up to them; and I'll say it again, it's no one else's business.
Not only that - how does it affect you personally? If a man you don't know in a city you've never been to, has sex with another man you don't know, and you are unaware of this taking place: how does that affect your day to day life?

I believe homosexuality is genetic. And I have no problem with it whatsoever. Why should I?
Yes, the Bible denounces homosexuality. It also stresses that women should be ostracized during menstruation. So do you go around asking women if they are menstruating? No, because it's none of your business and neither is another's sexuality.
The fact that we even have to discuss this is ridiculous.

maybe I am paranoid...
by Azalo indoes anyone know if there are spies who monitor these boards?
has anyone unintentionally "outed" themselves solely by posting on these boards?
i have been out for over 7 years now but my family is still in and i am afraid of giving too many details about myself for fear that someone will inform them.

Elizabeth Smart found alive.
by JeffT intv just broke into coverage of a fire to report that police in sandy utah found her alive and well in a car during a routine traffic stop.
she'd been missing since last july 4th when her sister said that a man came into their room in the middle of the night and took her.

Elders' kids - special treatment?
by starfish422 init seems to be the opinion of some on this board that elders' kids received special treatment, weren't punished for their wrongdoings, etc.. as the daughter of the po in our small congregation, let me tell you that it was much harder for me than for the kids of those who weren't elders.
our family was expected to be the "model family for displaly purposes" and we were held up to very high standards so that we didn't "stumble" anyone.
at times i wished my dad wasn't an elder so that i could have a bit more freedom.

Well, I just know that when I was in high school, any time I strayed off the straight and narrow by even a small fraction, my "friends" (the other Witness kids at school) couldn't run to my PO dad fast enough and I got slammed every friggin' time.

How pathetic....
by starfish422 inwhen you think about it, how ridiculous and pathetic is the theocratic ministry school?
the dubs are so unimaginative and incapable of independent thought that they have to be spoonfed presentations.
the same goes for the "how to present the magazines..." section of the km.. i just cringe when i think about those silly little talks i used to give (sitting, of course!

I just cringe when I think about those silly little talks I used to give (sitting, of course! and no eye contact with the congregation!!! EEK!); thinking up a stupid little "situation" and turning it into an opportunity to witness.
And my "score sheet". I hated that. Grrrrr. And I gave talk after talk and was selected to be a householder, maybe three times in all that. ACK. What a joke.

Question I haven't seen yet
by Descender inthis is my first post, i've been reading the board for a few months now and i must say it's rather addicting.
anyway, back to the topic of my post.
i was wondering how many, if any of you went out with a bang, like on a sunday morning meeting while you were giving a talk, or maybe while you were giving a #2 or #4 talk on the ministry school.

Hi Descender,
I left with a bang, during a meeting, but I wasn't at the meeting. My parents were at the Sunday meeting, I had feigned illness and was at home, and while they were gone, I had a friend come pick me up and I never went back. :)
