Shazard, we're already in positions of political power and as educators, we always have been. Brace yourself for the gay agenda!

Gay Marriage - The War for Equality
by Inquisitor ini've just read lola28's thread "for those against gay marriage".
i thought i should present a clear message on what i think the gay marriage issue is all about.
the trouble with most discussions on this issue is that it gets clouded by a plethora of side-issues, non-issues, cave-men chest-thumping and medieval puritanism.

Can being gay live in harmony with being a christian?
by digderidoo ini have looked at the thread about gay marriages in california and thought about asking this question there, but instead of hi-jacking that one i thought i would ask it here.
there seems to be quite a few gay people on this site and i wonder how many class themselves as christian?
if so, can being gay live in harmony with being a christian?.

I understand there to be a destructive edge to alcholism, but is there one to homosexuality BTS?

Well Paul, that is a JW definition of a Christian that might merit a bit of mind broadening investigation. The gay friends I have that are Christian belong to high Anglican, Episcoplian and Quaker faiths. I've never forced them to justify their position just as they don't seem to have a problem with my absence of belief.

don't think this should be an option for any christian, gay or heterasexual. Either you accept scripture in it's entirety or you don't. How can some scripture be divine and others not?
Paul, you need to meet more Christians, they're not all so fundementalist. The Christians I'm thinking of would argue that the scriptures reflect their times, and they are no longer obliged to avoid shellfish or silence women. While JWs and a good number of contributors to the board take the bible literally, it's not quite so in the big wide world.
You said you didn't have an agenda but your statement provides a very narrow definition of Christian.

Ta-da! A solution that everybody should be happy with. So why is nobody fighting for that?
Lead the way FD & BTS! But as I guess there would be even stiffer opposition to your proposal, then fighting for samesex marriage is a little easier.

in the same way that cohabiting unmarried heterosexual Christians reconcile their life with scripture... very few christians I know take the Bible literally or accept all it's edicts. I guess gay Christians just ignore or reinterpret the few scriptures that appear to discriminate against them.

The End of Circuit Overseers

Get a grip folks! We need something called proof.
Anyone got any???Such as? lol I edited my initial post as I didn't want the source of the conversation identified, so who going to post anything more definite. We're apostates seeker, we can't ever provide "proof". But I do love reading the dizzyying hypotheses that have resulted!

Are They Really Going Mainstream?
by WTWizard ini have seen a number of threads lately that suggest the washtowel slaveholdery is making moves toward going mainstream.
notice a few examples.
the stand on people that are incorrigible being the only ones that are going to die at armageddon is one cited fact that people are pointing to.

OK, they're not going to become the established church with the monarch as titular head but... I look at the folk I've left behind and they have fulltime jobs, decent houses, new cars and foreign holidays. The time spent at meetings is about to get less and in this part of the world pioneering is not nearly like it was in the 70s & 80s.
Yes they still have crackpot beliefs - specifically blood and shunning - but their lives seem significantly less alternative than they were some time ago. They seem... diluted. By money and a few wordly friends.
