  words fail me .... http://religiondispatches.org/god-hates-nags-why-in-gods-name-is-westboro-protesting-kim-davis/god hates nags: why in gods name is westboro protesting kim davismembers of the infamously anti-gay westboro baptist church (wbc) arrived in morehead, kentucky today to picket the rowan county courthouse, workplace of kim davis, the county clerk and religious liberty martyr who rose to fame by refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples citing gods authority.daviss religious right credentials are solid.

  her stand for religious liberty has resulted in the support of four presidential hopefulsted cruz, mike huckabee, bobby jindal, and rand paula visit with the pope, and comparisons to rosa parks.

  plenty of others opposed davis, of course, both because of her anti-gay stance and because of her refusal to do the job she took an oath to do.

  This is not the first time the Westboro clan has protested a died-in-the-wool conservative figure.

  About 15 years ago the WB folks protested Bob Jones University, arguably one of the most conservative, anti-gay universities in the U.S.

  Why?

  Because apparently a gay alumnus set off a chain of events (I don't remember the details) that resulted in BJU having to allow gay people to visit it's museum of art... or some such.

  Not understanding how a gay person could even graduate from Bob Jones, Fred Phelps screamed from the front gates, "When I was a student here the air was too pure for a faggot to breathe!"

  I have always wondered what happened when the elders saw that picture.

  
  

  They probably nodded and said, "This is the debauchery they fall into when they leave God's righteous organization." Welcome to the forum, N. J. Hope to learn more about you in coming posts.

  BETH SARIM - I'm not in that mindset. I was just joking.

  
  

  Actually, I was remarkably unexcited, despite my awareness of the fact that it was my first time.

  Curious, what PRECISELY is the definition of "having their lifestyle forced in my face." I'm not sure what is meant by this.

  Is gay porn being shown on a big screen in front of your home?

  Do gay people come up to you and describe in detail what they would like to do to you in bed?

  Do you get invited to all male Tupperware parties?

  Please clarify EXACTLY what is meant by "forced in my face".

  It's like losing a (toxic) spouse. The love was real. You're going to feel a sense of loss. But inside you know you made the right decision by walking away.

  They already had all my information. All I needed to do was fill in my phone number and "sign right here, please." Another milestone, I guess. Five years out of the cult and I'm still bumping into progress.

  Remarkable.

  One question remains... which lying piece of self-serving, arrogant, numbnuts (possibly NO-nuts) do I want leading America into the future?

  i always had a problem with the belief that god is allowing all the suffering in this world to go on just to vindicate his name and prove the devil wrong.

  i watched this movie on netflix and i can really see why the atheist movement is growing.

  it really does a good job of portraying the suffering in some parts of the world.

  The Watchtower would have us believe Jehovah needs THIS:

  
  

  ... in order to feel superior in all the universe.

  The only thing I can glean from that is God's ways are not my ways, and my moral principles will not allow me to bow to such a creature.

  I still believe there is a creator out there with an agenda I don't understand. For the moment I am content not knowing all the answers. The one thing I know for sure is the Watchtower version of God is unacceptable.

  I'm very much a minimalist. I would love to live out my life without all the trappings of modern life.

  I often day dream about buying a slide-in camper for my truck and just disappearing off into the sunset.

  
  

  In the U.S. There are still places you can drive 200 miles and never see a phone pole.

  Questions for JW lurkers

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  which parts of the publications are the innacurate words of 'just imperfect men', and which parts are the inerrant words from the mouthpiece of jehovah on earth?.

  how can you trust that you are being given correct information?

  the governing body.

  That's easy.

  
  

  The parts of the magazines that DO NOT result in the need to back pedal, revise, adjust, clarify, or change completely due to to passage of time or a newly published apostate book rendering the position unsustainable, THOSE are the inerrant words from the mouthpiece of Jehovah on Earth?

  Everything else is rubbish.

  We have all heard current JWs comment on how many adjustments and clarifications there have been lately. If they would just stop and meditate on that phenomenon for a moment and consider all the changes just in the last ten years. Then compare the teachings of God's mouthpiece from 2015 to the mouthpiece of 1925. It's not even the same religion.

  Then he said "it's (referring to the end) is close." Then he smiled. Here's the thing. When he said that, he didn't really look at me, but rather looked away, like someone knows something but knows they can't tell anyone.

  
  

  Sounds like he's tired of trying to sell that same tired old story and can't look his friends in the eye while he toes the company line.
