jesus was gay - says academic

jesus was gay and so were at least three of his 12 disciples, according to an australian academic.. .

dr rollan mccleary said jesus's astrological chart, clues in the scriptures and biblical translations, all played a part in his conclusions.. in a forthcoming book, he attempts to present st john's gospel in a new light to back up his claims, reports the herald sun.. dr rollan mccleary, a university of queensland phd graduate who now lives in melbourne, has just been awarded his doctorate for a thesis on gay spirituality.. an anglican and a qualified reader of astrological charts, dr mccleary said the planet uranus figured prominently in jesus's astrological chart, as it did with many gays..

Form requesting JW's to remove your records from their files & privacy act!

it is well known that the watchtower cult society keeps records on everyone, even those who have died, or have been excommunicated, or those who have broke association due to personal reasons.

such records may disturb many as they feel they are being judged by what is on their files and record cards, which has information of how many hours per month they put in preaching and cult recruiting, from house to house.

well you are absolutely right!

thanks so much for all of the good legal advice!

i have been digging & found the following : the following is what i found on www.hedning.no/hedning/arkiv/jv/unit5a.htm regarding a person requesting that the elders remove his/her name/records "if a baptized person insists that he does not want to be part of the congregation and requests that his name be removed from all our records, we should comply with his request.

since he takes such an adamant position, encourage him to put his request in writing.

i have been out of the cult jw religion for 3 yrs now, but i need some help/suggestions, please.

i am not disfellowshipped, but i simply became "inactive" after i left home & got married... i was "publicly reproved" once, & was wondering about those "secret files" they have kept on me.

if you have ever been in the "back room" then you know what i am talking about.

district assembly 5/24/03 3:40 pm "beware of the voice of strangers".. 1) counterfeit words: beware of those using "counterfeit words".

2) flirting: young ones need to avoid being lured into relationships with un-believers.. 3) you trust your christian parents...listen to them.

you also trust those taking the lead among you..such as elders.
