And I typed that all with predictive text on my phone. Just goes to show how often I've said it. 😂

Everything is a corporation. Even the Vatican, the supposed Official Church. The only God that really controls religions is the almighty Dollar. 😉

Lmao. This made my afternoon. 😂

May the fleas of a thousand camels blight the Governing body.

@punkofnice

I think you won, actually, by getting out first. 😉 unless you mean you were in for 12 years, instead of the 8 I read your comment to mean. 🙃

And if you taking the stance that God can't be proven to exist, and can't be proven not to exist (in any capacity, under any name), then you're probably agnostic like me. I don't exactly like labels, but in this case, it's better to differentiate between agnostic and atheist. It's surprising how often those are misidentified. 😁

@scratchme1010 I couldn't give less of a shit about your long rant than if I was constipated. I didn't even read it. Go find another thread to troll on. I have 0 time left for pedantic assholes. Tootles!

And @Vidiot I legit cried when he died. 😭

Enjoy your day at work. It's 12 16 am where I am at and I don't have to be at work until 5pm 😁 I'll definitely be adding my opinions from time to time. I do enjoy discussion, productive ones that is. I routinely get in long debates with the 'flattards' (flat earth believers) that have sprung up. JWs and their contradictory teachings aren't higher than them on my THIS IS DUMB radar. 😂

Also. I amended my profile to include 'pertinent' information, so I can be 'credible'. 😂👏

Freddo, I find it unsurprising. The catholics hardly had a monopoly on pedophilia. I haven't read anything personally about any scandals, but it wouldn't surprise me. I don't go out of my way to look for JW related things. I happened across this site after I saw that cartoon on YouTube and one of the videos had links to various forums. My bad for clicking it, creating an account, and sharing my opinion. I keep forgetting that the Internet isn't very welcoming of things outside the norm. 😉

Also, scratchme1010, you perfectly demonstrated what keyboard warriors do. They jump the gun without so much as a forethought or checking PROFILES. I'm agnostic. I'm not a bible loving idiot. In fact, I love science. And if those scientology idiots hadn't stolen that word, I'd call my belief in science as my religion Scientology. 😂 Stephen Hawking my God. Neil Degrasse Tyson my Jesus. But back to the point. You're rude. And apparently an idiot for not LOOKING at a person's profile before making assumptions. Ass-0. Me-1.

Haha. Internet bullies are universal. Indeed, look at my profile. I'm a former witness of 10 years. So, therefore, I do understand the doctrines. I'm not preaching to anyone. I was speaking in terms of those who still believe in Christianity, but not so much JW doctrines. 😒 Not everyone here jumped from JW straight to atheism because of their teachings. If you don't like my OPINION on something I saw, go read a different thread. And to the random person who mentioned I didn't state my sexual orientation? That's personal, but since you're asking, I'm pansexual. As for my certainty on what the Christian God would think of the gays (I'm not bashing them, nitwit), it clearly says God is love and forgiveness. Over and over its pounded into the brains of churchgoers. Despite the many contradictions found in that silly book.

And why it's taken me so long to reply (it's been a few days, so let's accuse someone you don't now of being someone else that you also don't know), is because I WORK for a living, as well as raise my 3 kids ON MY OWN. I don't always have time to go check a silly thread that has no real bearing on my life. Lmao. I only remembered I posted this because I opened my phone browser to read a local news article and this was the last page saved. So. Now I'm going to go read that article because I'm sure the content would be more enriching than 80% of these comments. 😂

I've recently watched the JW cartoons centered around teaching young kids the doctrines of this faith. While I no longer practice any faith, I am well versed in this one. I must say, these cartoons are in bad, bad taste. More specifically, the one that centers around a mother counseling her young daughter about her friend's same sex parents, and how they won't get into paradise if they don't change their 'choice'. This is a direct contradiction to what the Bible actually says. While homosexual acts are indeed considered a sin, it does not, anywhere, imply that homosexuality is a choice that people make on their own, nor does it state that homosexual acts are a result of Satan's influence. It doesn't say that those who commit a sin won't go to paradise. In fact, it says God created man in his image, and gave him free will. All mankind inherited sin from Adam and Eve, but mankind was still created with God's image in mind. And God is love. It doesn't say God is love between a man and woman only. While he says homosexuality is sinful, and only the righteous go to paradise, he is also credited as being akin to Love. It is entirely possible to commit the sin of being homosexual while still being righteous, which literally means 'good, upstanding, decent'. It does NOT mean without sin. We are All sinners. It is entirely possible to have love in a homosexual way, and express that God-given love (because God is love, correct? Correct.) in a way that honors his gift, by sharing it with others. All the Bible asks is to repent. Which actually only means to be regretful of one's actions. It is also entirely possible to be regretful (repentant) while still retaining that love and expressing it. But my point here is the way this cartoon goes about instructing the child to tell her friend, and in turn her parents, that they are basically sinners who won't go to paradise unless they change a choice that isn't a choice (any more than being straight is a choice) is against every type of Witnessing tenent that I've EVER heard of being practiced. You don't go around telling your children to point a damnation finger at others with dire loss of paradise if they don't immediately change their lives. God values love. He values kindness. He values neighborly intent to your fellow man. Not instructing children to be hammers of hellfire. I'm extremely positive that while God may not approve of the act of being homosexual, he is very approving of the love shared by the family, and breaking it up just because the parents have the same genitals would be tantamount to divorce, which is also extremely frowned upon. He would place more value on the love and devotion of the family than on what's between their legs and the sin it's labeled.
