  Here's a view on homosexuality for you...

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...right from a pro-jw site in response to a post about the relative seriousness of homosexuality.

  all you can do is reason from the scriptures, which you appear to have done.

  homosexuality is as serious as bestiality, or adultery and fornication.

  TheLiberator,

  Abhorrent? Really? You've been watching the wrong porn. I find the thought of 2 obese heteros mating abhorrent and I'm straight.

  Well, mostly.

  Your views are the only thing abhorrent about your comment.

  No! No! No! This can't be true? brexit? No!

  it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

  the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

  there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

  Observations from across the pond:

  Of course none of us will know whether Brexit turns out more positive than negative or is a wash. However, inquiring US minds want to know:

  The news from the BBC states that the demographics of the group most responsible for Brexit is older, whiter (if that's even possible), less educated and poorer.

  The primary reason for Brexit seems to be Muslim immigration, which we can all thank George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney for. Or, in other words, fear.

  That raises red flags to me, but that doesn't obviously correlate to whether it was good or bad. Time will tell.

  Input my British fiends?

  Introduction - Any Believers?

  i’ve been reading it for a few of years off and on, but have been a little too ... maybe ... timid to join.

  i left the watchtower organization almost 20 years ago but never abandoned my faith and belief in god.

  i knew the gb/organization didn’t represent god, so when i lost my faith in them, i managed to keep my faith in an all wise benevolent creator.

  Re: OutsiderLookingIn: What I’m wondering is does the chicken come before the egg or vice versa?
  

  From Google Scholar:

  Intelligence, Volume 39, Issue 6, November–December 2011, Pages 468–472

  The relationship between intelligence and multiple domains of religious belief: Evidence from a large adult US sample - Gary J. Lewis, Stuart J. Ritchie, Timothy C. Bates - Highlights - Lower intelligence was significantly associated with higher levels of faith. Lower intelligence was most strongly associated with increased fundamentalism.

  You must be Believers friend. He judged me and those like me to eternal destruction in his 2nd OP.

  He has judged billions of others to the same sentence. Apparently only him and those like him have true faith.

  He's getting exactly what he deserves. Your incessant whining is changing on one's opinion.

  If a Muslim came on this site and did the same thing, only with Allah and Islam being the true faith, you and the other theists would crucify him. The only reason you are standing up for Believer is that you share his beliefs.

  I don't give a rat's ass what Believer does or doesn't do. Nor do I give a rodent's rear that Believer is a noob. He had an opportunity to give some rational thought to what he posted. Just like you. He had one desire and one only, and that is to show all of us the intensive bible learnin' he has.

  Believer is no different that the DarkLords. Believer believes exactly like the Dark Lords. Same song, different verse. We gave Believer multiple opportunities to spin his judgments. He tried to deny them. Then he ignored requests to explain them. I respect his right to believe what he wishes, as long as he keeps it between his L ear and his R ear.

  Once he brings it out in public in order to spread his infection, his beliefs become a target. And that is most excellent. And really Lieu, the first and last refuge of you high school grads with a striver's IQ is always to call someone like me an elder. Boring.

  If you have been following along, I don't care. Dick. Ass. Elder. It is rocket fuel to me and completely ineffective. I would prefer more creative names, such as Insufferable Bastard, which I liked. JFK called me an over-educated muffin head, but since his post had an NC-17 rating, he must have called me something else. Dad, I mean Simon, must have censured him. I'm dying to find out what he called me. JFK, if you are reading this, pm me what you really called me.

  I have provided ample evidence, using Believer's own words. There isn't any gray in this issue. But please continue. The ass in me is way ahead of the empath.

  Lieu,

  You really are in over your head here, but it is clear that lack of self control is your biggest problem.

  My summary is spot on. Believer is no different than what we escaped. I've copied and pasted his own words and I've given him multiple opportunities to distance himself from DarkLord teachings. He owned them when he stated the following rather than directly answer my questions, and I quote: ".. . expression by a believer OF HIS OWN BELIEFS." The caps are Believers.

  These ARE his beliefs.

  The more you post the more ridiculous you make yourself. The empath in me wishes you would avoid the keyboard. The ass in me hopes you don't.

  Class,

  Let's re cap to put into perspective exactly what we are talking about. There is so much BS being thrown about by various theists that I don't want you to miss the main issue.

  1. We all left a religion that claimed it alone was the true faith and everyone not believing like them was judged to everlasting destruction .

  2. Believer states that anyone not believing like it does not have the true faith and is therefore deserving of everlasting destruction.

  I believe that very accurately sums this series of Believers OPs.

  Believer,

  Your statements were a personal attack. You judged me and those like me to hell.

  Own it. And since you are ignoring my request for clarification regarding Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Jains,, et al, all of us are left with concluding that you have.

  Believers god is all rainbows and unicorns. Until she slaughters billions of people Believer doesn't like. And Believer is more than ok with that.

  Believer and Lieu,

  I'm waiting for a response as to whether you have judged billions of decent innocent people to death. Many of these are believers. Many believe in god. Many have fairh.

  Your answer please.

  Believer,

  You preached us to hell. Some recovery. That didn't feel like a big purple dinosaur hug to me nor a Rodney King why cant we all just get along moment.

  Please respond as to whether you have preached billions of Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus to hell also.
