Island Man, you're a pig!
Actually, the custom of the time was for each wife to have her own room (of sorts), her own bed, and the husband would go to HER bed.
after a one year sucessful fade and no longer associated with any congreation, i was visiting my sister this week (who goes to the meeting to please her husband for now; i am slowly planting seeds though) and they decided to year this weeks midweek meeting via the telephone.
since i was a guest in her house, i sat with them in the living room to hear the meeting.
to my surprise (especially growing up as a gay jw with still alot of anger in my heart over how i was treated), the talks 2 and 3 where on, of course, homosexualiy.

Ahh, that brings back good memories.....
Never enough spit and venom for the GOD HATES FAGS sessions offered up at the Kingdom Hall. I think they got even more creative at assemblies just to let you know they mean business.
I've been invited to attend a Southern Baptist church with some lovely friends I've made since leaving the JW cult and I tell them unequivocally, "I will not listen to another preacher tell me God disapproves of me by virtue of my existence." They just look away because they know their church is exactly the same way.
miracles still happen, eh?.
centuries of misrepresentation and persecution of gay people may be about to end, as far as the catholic church is concerned.. more than 200 bishops have been taking part in the synod since 5 october.
it was convened by pope francis to debate abortion, contraception, homosexuality and divorce.. monday's report, issued half-way through the two-week meeting, said:.
None of it matters, though. It's too late.
Religion X, Y, Z can kiss my homosexual butt!
many jw victims flee the "truth" after elders have raped them and covered it up.
doctrines aside, there would be no reason for one of these young victims to conclude the watchtower environment is god's arrangement on earth.. does the organization acknowledge this irreparable damage or will it write these victims off as apostates, slated for death at armageddon if they choose to get the hell out?.

when the wtbts association with the un & the osce was exposed, their own rules should have been rammed down their corrupt and lying throats!.
thank you so much for the watchtower cd rom.
you made a huge rod for your own back.
The Searcher: How can such ones look at themselves in the mirror and not see that they are trampling on Christ, not representing him!
If Gillies has any decency in him he will eventually join us - whatever his tipping point may be. If he does not, then how he looks at himself in the mirror is for Jesus to worry about.

Also, as Spock said in a relatively recent Star Trek film, "Why does God need a space/star ship?"
Ahem! It was Kirk.

... not that I would ever miss the more important point.

but the soil is not that good.
"this town has the best soil of all the towns in the county," said roth.
Forgive my ignorance. Is that still a functioning farm?
I thought the WT shut down it's farming venture. If so, the WT still has to maintain the land to some extent until it sells. Road fronts, buildings, etc... That's a bit of a bleed for 500 acres.
Oh wiat! I forgot. FREE LABOR.
CREEPY IS YET TO COME.
I predict soon one of the governing body members will bring his wife on set where she will just cry and cry and her eye makeup will run down her face and people will send lots of money to help develop Watchtower real estate in poor African villages.
IT'S NEVER BEEN TRIED BEFORE!
This JW TV thing could be a God-send. (*ahem*)
As many times as Pat Robertson has made an ass of himself on the 700 Club, our precious governing body will likely do the same on the 144,000 Club - digitally recorded for future reference, playback and general amusement.
