Rebel With A Cause....

by The Rebel in

" only the good die young".

or at least they remain eternally young and heroic particularly if they died for you.

the trouble is we can outgrow our hero worship and our opinions of that person can change.. this is what has happened to me with my childhood friend and my hero jesus.

Rebel: " . . .great comedians, or actors from Errol Flynn,to John Wayne, to James Dean to De Niro & Pacino, the fictional characters they portray become real to us and in some strange and magical way enrich our lives."

Yeah, but humans haven't slaughtered and oppressed each other for the past 2000 years because of the likes of John Wayne. Nor are they sitting around gleefully awaiting their god to destroy billions. Twice. Unless you count the bad guys the Duke offed - in celluloid.

You can spin this woo all you want, even calling your precious a rebel with a cause. At the end of the day (and the beginning) it is still woo (I'm saying woo instead of you know what cause I promised Bonsai to be sweet - it is killing me to do so, but I'm trying).

July, 2015: KY Governor Beshear has released a statement on county clerks who refuse to issue same-sex marriage licenses in response to the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage bans.

Beshear emphasizes that clerks do not have to agree with the ruling, but reminds clerks that they took an oath to uphold the constitution.

"Our county clerks took an oath, as elected officials, to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Kentucky and to provide important duties in their communities. This oath does not dictate what our clerks must believe, but it certainly prescribes how they must act in carrying out their duties as elected officials. Same-sex couples in Kentucky are now entitled to the issuance of a marriage license by every county clerk, based on Friday’s ruling by the United States Supreme Court. While there are certainly strongly held views on both sides of this issue, the fact remains that each clerk vowed to uphold the law regardless of his or her personal beliefs."

Ok Fish, in addition to hate, I will consider that she is also a goat-brained, pridefully stubborn Appalachian fundie of ScotsIrish descent with control issues. They are famous for digging their furry little heels in the ground and refusing to budge. On anything. And that she is loving her 15 minutes of fame.

Jesus isn't the reason for her treason.

It's hate.

Intro and Thoughts

by ThinkerBelle in

jw
friends

i've been lurking on the board for almost a year now and i think i'm ready to come out of hiding (although, i'm so nervous as i type this).

i'm not ready to share everything about my story, but the basics are that i'm a born-in, elder's kid, baptized as a teenager because i was tired of hearing people ask me "all your friends are baptized, when are you going to get baptized?

", married an unbeliever (was df, but came back shortly after) and we have two kids.

DJS

ThinkerBelle,

Welcome!!! Take your time about what you believe; there isn't any hurry. Don't take any time getting on with your life, however, and as far away from the Dark Tower as possible!! College is a great start. Welcome to freedom.

Evolutionists Who Are Against Darwinism

by Perry in

this is a nice list of evolutionary scientists and their quotes regarding the impossibility of naturalism or materialism being able to account for life as it is observed :.

evolutionists against darwinism.

most, while sympathetic and respectful of their more committed colleagues, are disparaged as morons for not carrying the materialism banner as a religion, as a matter of faith.

DJS

I'm sure Perry is a great guy away from this forum. But to indicate he is great because he doesn't insult us ignores all of the hateful OPs where he expresses his hate for gays, lesbians, transgenders, etc. and hides behind Jesus' skirt in defense of his hate.

I find that abhorrent and much worse than calling someone a delusional narcissist.

by Fisherman in

within the past couple of days, women in nyc are going around topless in public.

i read in a news article, that in new york city, there are no laws against women going topless in public.the article says that family people are getting offended and they want to stop topless women in public.

in europe women show their breasts on on tv, the beach, and breast feeding in public.

SSC,

"Doesn't this planet have far more serious issues to contemplate than a pair of bouncing boobs?"

So we're back to talking about the Governing Body again, huh?

Court seizes over one million Jehovah's Witnesses brochures brought into Russia

http://red.theworldnewsmedia.org/index.php/en/forum-home-page/jehovah-s-witnesses/93-court-seizes-over-one-million-jehovah-s-witnesses-brochures-brought-into-russia

In 2002, partly in response to the events of 9/11, Russia implemented anti-extremist laws – laws which are written so vaguely that they can be broadly interpreted. In 2013, non-profit organizations that receive foreign donations and engage in "political activity" were required to register as foreign agents, which is a strongly pejorative Cold War term.

In 2014 Russia made the anti-extremist law more strict, and as a follow-up to the Foreign Agents Bill, on May 23, 2015, Putin passed the Undesirable Organizations Bill into law citing "National Security". The bill bans non-governmental organizations that it deems undesirable as a "threat to the constitutional order and defense capability, or the security of the Russian state."

Vlad considers himself the protector of all things Russian, and he appears intent on keeping anything that doesn’t support that cultural view either suppressed, out of the country or removed from it. The Dubs fit into this category, along with a lot of others.

The ironic thing is that the Dubs are a threat to internal security based on its destruction of families, blood issue and discouraging education to name a few. Maybe we should send Vlad an email like we did Angus Stewart.
