physical attractiveness may not be the be all/end all, but it is definitely important. Most JW single women were snobby and aloof, and they were all about the religion and power, they wanted to marry the elders, the "spiritually elite". They were materialistic, and looks didn't matter as much to them as money and prestige in the organization--no wonder their marriages failed.

Why JW marriage is a huge problem for the organization.
by kneehighmiah inthe difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.
but i would say it's hard for brothers also.
i was talking to a jw last night.

I actually don't see the WT fighting this in court--for if they did, that would put them alongside bible believing churches in doctrinal matters. I see them embracing it in the future, and for that they will grow. They are a self preservation cult, and as they have proved in the past they are willing to compromise their beliefs when it suits them financially--just think Mexico vs. Malawi, UN, etc etc. This is the one hot button issue that the media loves to embroil itself in--just think about it, all the things the WT has done--forbidding blood transfusions, denying children a normal upbringing, denying all holidays, ruining families and lives--yet the media could care less, but if they stand against gay marriage, they will face the wrath of the liberal media and the world--and their membership would falter. They will adapt, if ever so slowly!

You bet they will someday! All they have to do is use the same twisted reasoning they use for their doctrines and apply it to that--and bingo they will change it. I have no doubt they will have new light.

How about the cult of liberal christianity? There are several groups and movements out there that can twist and butcher the bible to fit their doctrines, almost as well as the Watchtower.

Good lord you are worse than the watchtower for comparing apples and oranges. But I am used to it, that seems to be the liberal way to do things, when all else fails you bring up women or blacks to score your brownie points.

The answer to that question is probably yes, given how things have went in the past few years. The very fact that Pastors were being forced to turn their sermons over to the government is shocking. 20 years ago, nobody would have thought.

Well I may be straight, but not an arrow. I was almost sucked in by the gay agenda a few years ago.

I have plenty, but I save them for venues where they are more relevant. I actually work for conservative causes and pinpoint my time now in places where they are needed. Last nights election was one of them.
