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

  ...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.

  Truthseeker: OK I have had it with that book , the Bible. Maybe a few of the

  books was written by folks in the Neanderthal period, that would explain Deuteronomy 25:11.

  That is one way to stop a fight if your husband is getting his butt kicked.

  That's why it's so taxing with JW family members, at times you want to cry out, you

  don't know sh---t.... But you understand their mindset you shake your head and think,

  they no not what they teach.

  education I thought I was a hell of a speaker. Half of the time I had no idea what I was talking about.

  The outline provided by GB didn't leave room for research on the topic, Evolution no idea, dates for

  the end time ( like a deer in headlights), marriage (I was dealing with my own problems).

  I feel so embarrass when I think about that time. The Wt makes a person full of themselves.....

  Why is Mother's Day wrong?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so why is celebrating mother's day wrong according to witnesses?.

  is it not an opportunity to show respect to the giver of life (mother) and therefore god, the originator of families?.

  does it not give an opportunity for members of the family to give a hard working mother a day off?

  Where did Jehovah go ?

  by Deleteandrestart in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for the many years i was mentally " in " the congregation, i equated the organisation as interchangeable with the persona of jehovah, in effect whatever the organisation said or thought, that was what jehovah thought and that was what jehovah said.... it was that simple.

  so when i found out the ttatt and the cynical moves of the organisation over the years,including 1975 , the donation arrangements, the united nations, etc i was devastated and thought " where's jehovah in all of this?".

  the god who i'd poured my heart out to on many occasions and who i thought was silently listening and hearing my pleas ..... was not there , .

  When I was a JW I knew the answer for everything and now it is so much fun

  to learn, to discover new things. For me no personal God, I deal with it, It's a fact of life.

  Look at the bright side, you no longer have to worry about eternal punishment. You live

  your life as it is and not relay on some imagined afterlife. You live by the rules that is

  set by society because you want to respect yourself, religions have been the most

  immoral forces in human history.

  And where is GOD? They say that when you die you become closer to God. You damn right

  you do, because you no longer exist.

  My earlier years in the organization there were two ladies the wife and I were close to.

  They lived together, pioneered , many studies and aided many to baptism. One study I remember

  they had was a ex porno worker, she was baptized.

  I told the wife one day, those two sisters are gay, and she said Oh no not in Jehovah's organization.

  I was told years later they were both DF.

  Now the funny thing about this, they were instrumental in aiding others into this loving organization.

  I guess Jehovah works in mysterious ways.
