JW refuses to provide wedding stationery to Gay couple

by KateWild in

i was outraged at this and had to post it.. http://jehovahswitnessreport.com/blog/jw-refuses-to-provide-wedding-stationery-to-gay-couple.

i think she is a hypocrite and i bet she sells her invites to fornicators, or does she ask them if they are having sex before marrige, before she takes their money?.

i was never like this when i was a jw, it's even more disturbing that she is going to ask her elders what to do.

KateWild

Cool. Lots of responses. I am glad many feel the same way. Kate xx

Quit trolling Panther...its all there on a silver platter for you, the jwfacts article has it-LG

I have met him. He's legit, just a bit overwhelmed. We really gave him a lot to think about on Saturday, but we had fun too Kate xx

I'm of that generation where we don't like to read.-Panthers

I gave you a quote from jwfacts.com. I understand that you haven't got time to do lots of research all at once and get all the answers you need. Take it in small steps. If you want out the WT, you need to make sure you stay out. Research and reading is the best way.

But you can come here for a chit chat too.

What is spirit, exactly?

by Viviane in

i've always wondered that.

recently i asked that question on another thread and didn't really get ananswer.

cofty made an excellent point that we often hear what it isn't, but that really isn't useful.. so, what is it?

KateWild

you really are just telling people they don't have the ability to get it, that they are lacking. - Viv

Apologies if I did not make myself understood. I am not telling people they are lacking. I am simply putting across my opinion why some grasp the concept of the spirit being the animating force in living things and others do not grasp it.

I apologise if I come across as being arrogant, no one is lacking. They just share a different view of why people don't accept the statement spirit is the animating force in living things. However there are few these days who willfully do not want to look at another perspective than their own. This is willful ignorance. However I am not insinuating anyone is being willfully ignorant either, just expressing that it exists.

just because four or five of us others can see their point has no bearing whatsoever-caliber

Lol, this thread is funny. Keep it going, it's starting to pick up some momentum

Hi Panthers,

Here is a quote from Awake Oct 8th 1966

"Does God's rest day parallel the time man has been on earth since his creation? Apparently so. In what year, then, would the first 6,000 years of man's existence and also the first 6,000 years of Gods rest day come to an end? The year 1975. It means that within a relatively few years we will witness the fulfilment of the remaining prophecies that have to do with the "time of the end"." Awake! 1966 Oct 8 pp.19-20

By saying my comments are off topic, you indicate I have failed in my explanation.-Splash

IMO, it was on topic. The whole post made sense and I see your perspective and your point. Kate xx

Kate, please don't insinuate other posters are stupid. This has nothing to do with an ability make higher order abstractions. So far, no one has been able to say what spirit is made of except to claim it's a metaphor for something else. There is no abtraction to make so far.-Viv

The ability to make higher order abstractions has nothing to do with intellect. I was not insinuating posters are stupid, just not as able as others in this area. We all have stengths and weaknesses. Many very intelligent people are concrete thinkers and this ability can put them at an advantage in some aspects of life, whereas the ability to make higher order abstractions can put people at an advantage in a different way, in different aspects of life.

In general I am a concrete thinker and that's why I am good at chemistry, in social situations I am an abstract thinker, due to my AS though I don't keep my thoughts to myself when perhaps I should. The point is, those that say there is no evidence for spirit want concrete evidence and sometimes use intellectual intimidation to make their point, whereas those who look beyond the evidence and read between the lines do have certain abilities that should be recognised.

People who believe in the spirit of life are not stupid either.

Quelly,

That's great the other workers said something to management. Have you been in today? Any developments?
