Implications of gay marriage ruling
by Rattigan350 inwhile many think that the ruling is good for the gays and their response is: how does that affect your marriage; then on the other side the religious people cry god and sinners.
but both are missing the forest through the trees.. the problem with the ruling is that which is discussed here so many times.
five unelected federal officials decided on policy for the whole country, running roughshod over every democratic principle.

So it basically boils down to numbers--more justices ruled for gay marriage than against. Had it been the other way around, then gay marriage would have lost. I guess the majority rules in this instance. -

funny though, if the Supreme Court interpreted the constitution differently and ruled against gay marriage, people would be crying, "this is a democracy, this can't happen" etc etc. They want to use democracy when it is convenient for their agenda, and when it isn't they just defer it to the judicial branch--it is an end run around the will of the people, placing power in the hands of a few. Our forefathers would be horrified if they could see how our government has gone. -

You're absolutely right! This whole movement reminds me so much of the Watchtower, the similarities are uncanny. -

Not true! There are many people who would vote for Dr.Ben Carson (blacker than Obama) that totally disagree with Obama. It is not about race, but about jobs, and preserving the american way of life over foreign intrusion -

Anybody see this?
by Junction-Guy ini just saw a couple of news stories from israel.
apparently the jw's were attempting to hold some kind of convention there, and the the town ruled against the jw's, but another court sided with the jw's and they were allowed to have their event.
it turns out several hundred local orthodox jews turned out to protest this event, and it did turn violent at one point.

I thought it was interesting that one of the Jews made the remark that he didn't want the children subjected to their brainwashing. Sorry I don't have the link to post, but you can google it. -

I think with the JW's, you are not going to get an accurate answer, because unlike some "religions", JW's have a private opinion and then their public one, and this goes for any issue. Take blood, almost all JW's will say they are against blood, but now many X-JW's will say that they never fully believed in the blood ban, they only went along with it because the Society said they had to. I think the 75% is somewhat accurate, and feel it is actually lower than that.
I do think that the JW religion will soften their stance on this issue alot quicker than the bible believing churches.
