i replied to a lesbian on the quora website who tried to state that god destroyed sodom because of the violent rape the people were trying to commit, not because they were homosexuals.
her argument perperuated so often was that it stated nothing about sex between "two consenting adults".
but, instead of using the bible scriptures such as a man shall not lay down with another as a woman, i used something else you never hear anyone use.... i told her to look to genesis 6:1-4 .
Isn't humanity better off using and accepting modem secular knowledge regarding human sexuality than what the ancients knew 3000 years ago ?
The ancient Hebrews probably had justifiable reasons why they took their stand and position on homosexuality, we should honestly assume and accept that I think.
One thing we can unquestionably be assured of there are biological indifferences within born humans and it is inhumane to create prejudices and hatred through or because of those indifferences.

There is much evidence of evolution but where is there evidence of supernatural beings /spirits ?
Ancient mythological expressions?

" Freedom from Ignorance " Ex-JWS
I read the bible carefully, particularly the NT and the words of Jesus.
I found that his words and directions didn't coincide with what GB leaders were doing and saying..
it just seems like the kingdom halls are for sale everywhere.

Yes that's true , RTN
Someone in those specific localities realized the value of those properties and decided lets sell them and give the money to HQ, what a loving gesture to Jehovah they made.
These guys made themselves popular and noted by the top guys at the district HQ.
The transference of money has always stood as an identifiable action of devout loyalty to the Org.

Sounds like there are congregations about that couldn't wait to get a hold of the money their Kingdom Halls are worth.
JWS Jah's earthly real estate company.
.......but we don't need the Kingdom Hall anymore , we have Zoom now !
2021-09-22-covid jw deaths--philippines .
see the bottom of paragraph 1.
"these figures indicate that the ratio of deaths among the brothers is even higher than among the general population.
This may be due to the fact that the age demographic of JWS has risen over the years, such as 60 and over group.
at the moment there does not seem to be any place to flee to from covid mandates and restrictions.
we are stuck like the first century christians in jerusalem.
but jesus said when the disgusting thing would stand in the holy place, it was time to swiftly flee to the mountains.. will jehovah god open a path to security where we can be in safety?
You let the pandemic burn out and then vaccinate so it doesn't return.
So lets say there were no restrictions and take for example the US would have by now well over a million, perhaps a million and half dead by now with the possibility of new variants beginning to appear which there may not be in the future no vaccine possible to combat it ?
Oh shit some people are stupid.
I think the medical community are on the right track in getting this virus under control and even they realize this virus will not be completely eliminated.
Humanity has been experiencing virus plagues since biblical times and probably before and to certain extent more severe such as the Black plague (1300's), try telling that to poorly educated people like Kososen .
it seems like the moment someone attains some type of power, whether it's money, political power, or religious power, their first agenda is ---to control others.. bill gates is a good example of this.
another is george soros and michael bloomberg.
and let's not forget all the politician and religious leaders like the governing body.
Men seek power over others through an established structure of self empowerment which also brings them an uplifted sense of self worth and importance in human social environments, which you usually can find in religious organizations.
Spiritual leaders derive their power from supernatural spiritual beings which they claim they are supposedly connected to.
A vilification of self glorification is established.
Some good things can actually come from these men, sometimes not so good.
