Being nice to LGBTQ people is an affront to god?

by Viviane in

this should be titled "jerks for jesus afraid of their own shadow, sexuality".

seriously, someone thinks that a video on how to be nice to people different from him is an affront to his god.

Good for you EOM. if everyone was as decent as you there would be no need for diversity training.

EOM, cultural diversity is being practiced by corporations that includes everyone you mention. Google it. Not only is it the right thing to do, it leads to a more profitable and successful business, based on numerous studies.

It has become a part of the HR and corporate expectations for employees. You can lose your job for not going along, and legally you don't have much recourse.

There are other consequences. Just ask Donald Silver, Duck Dynasty Dude, and the Governors of NC and Indiana.

%LRG,

All apologies for the reference. I'm clearly confusing you with someone else.

BUT, and it's a big but (I like big buts and I cannot lie), The Donald is the king of conspiracy theorists.

It is a label he richly deserves, regardless of one"s political, or sexual, persuasion.

It is one of the reasons he plays well in the heartland.

Again, mea culpa for confusing you with someone else.

@LittleRockGuy: "Obama supporters and the mainstream media uses the term "conspiracy theorists" and "birthers" as buzzwords like the Watchtower Society uses the terms "apostates", which makes sense since both have cult followers."

Ouchie. That's gonna leave a mark. So witty. So creative. Cruel man, just cruel. Don't you have something better to do? Like hate on some gays? Or is that hit on some gays? I can't remember.

Update: Got my Judicial Committee cancelled

by Sanchy in

friends

original thread here.

update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".

all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.

DJS

Excellent news Sanchy,

Methinks however, that the DarkLord's wraiths are simply circling and waiting.

My Brother Called Me Yesterday...

by pale.emperor in

my brother isn't a witness but he was raised one like we all were.

after 15 years living his own life he decided about a year ago to have a bible study.

this being the case, as a non baptized witness he can still speak to me but he's getting a lot of pressure not to from elders and the rest of my family.

DJS

PE,

Out of curiosity what are the specifics on your brother? I ask because I can't imaging anyone who has made a success out of their life for the past 15 years away from this dreaded cult ever considering going back to it.

My guess is that he has little to no college, is lower middle class and struggling financially, has difficulties in maintaining quality relationships and finds it challenging to discipline and control himself in what he eats, drinks, ingests, how he spends his money . . .

Does God communicate with humans today?

by deegee in

there seems to be confusion within christianity regarding whether or not god communicates with humans today and if he does, how does he do it?.

- does god still insert thoughts into people's minds today or is that something which he only did in the past?.

- some maintain that god is no longer giving persons dreams/visions or speaking directly to them or sending angels to speak with them today but he will nevertheless insert thoughts into their minds to guide them.

DJS

Yes. Of course she does. But her communication style obviously varies from place to place. In the American South and much of the US heartland (aka Trump Country), her most common form of communication is:

"Attention WalMart Shoppers"

We don't hear too much vitriol from the resident gay haters these days. And that is most excellent. Tallon, I regret and am ashamed of my views towards the LGBT community when I was a dub. I drank the kool aid for a while, but this issue, as I've pointed out before, was one of the big reasons I began doubting the bible, god and religion.

It was clear to me that most gays and lesbians I knew had been that way from birth; then I realized that whether it is nature, nurture, choice or a combination it makes no difference at all. A god that judges these to death is not worthy of serving.

I've developed many friends in this community in my 20 plus years out of the DarkTower. And to my theist fiends who continue to hate while justifying your bigotry by old scrolls written by long dead men, this:
