Many JWs are chaste or virtuous homosexuals and "in good standing"

by Rufus T. Firefly in

[it gets under my skin when people post that a jw was df'd for being homosexual.

if one ever was df'd simply for being homosexual, one would have ample grounds for a lawsuit.

the comments in brackets are mine.].

KateWild

IMO df'ing boils down to who the PO(CoBE) is. A Gay brother confesses to having sex. He says he is truly repentant and will not do it again.

Is he forgiven?

Jehovah will only forgive him if the JC jump to the tune of the CoBE. If he is loved and respected by that individual Holy Spirit will guide him to be forgiven. He is free to lead a double life and practice what he wishes or remain celebate.

Jehovah will not forgive him, if the elders and esp the CoBE has been "helping" him since before baptism on his feminine manerisms and voice. If the elders have always had it in for him, holy spirit will guide them he is not truly repentant.

IMO it has nothing to do with the flock book, holy spirit or Jehovah, it's all about the CoBE

What were Albert Einstien's Religious Beliefs?

by KateWild in

this was covered a little on another thread and interested me.

i have always been convinced einstien believed in god.

i assumed what i had learned was correct and never thought i was taught something wrong.. i have seen some points posters have made.

KateWild

Wow! This thread is still in Active topics....Nice research Giordano, its interesting to see that Einstein's religious beliefs are such a widley discussed topic. I think I read somewhere when discussing God both atheists and believers want him in their camp.

I would agree with that, because I want him in my camp. But really everyone can have a different concept of God, because God has not directly revealed himself in a unifrom way, IMO. I think for me that is what Einstein's example says to me.

It's okay to believe in a God how we wish to, whatever way makes us happy, or not to believe at all. Like Giordano's post says, Einstein had different priorities....ethics....I have read he joined the UN, and campaigned for nuclear disarmament, I even read he was offered the post as Prime Mininster of Israel.

The critical outcome of this is it is a complete fallacy to even attempt to use Einstein and his beliefs as a basis for promoting clearly irrational and unscientific postulations.-K99

I would say if he were alive today, Einstein would agree with you. That is probably why he talked about his religious beliefs so much. We were doing this when he was alive and we will as humans continue to. Einstein is a role model, even though he clearly didn't want religious followers.

KateWild

Atheists know more about the bible!

by Comatose in

a newly minted atheist, she uses her youversion bible app to try to persuade people away from the christianity she grew up in.. .

i know of a lot of atheists who have come to their nonbelief by actually reading the bible rather than just the fluffy stories they choose to tell you about in church, she said.

reading the full story with all its contradictions and violence and sexism, it should make you think, is this really what i believe in?

KateWild

But this thread is about the bible... not about the OT alone. Right? The bible as a whole? So that Cofty's question also has nothing to do with the thread. But I am the one accused of derailing?-Tammy

My bad Tammy apologies. Cofty was being flippant and it was retorical. It just got me thinking. I have sincere questions about the bible. I sould do a thread of my own

My adorable 5 year son explaining the meaning of life

by jwfacts in

i asked my son quite randomly before bed what he thinks the meaning of life is.

like always, his answer brought a smile to my face.

he said, "to have a great time .. to have fun and have friends ... and be happy.

KateWild

Thats so nice...you must have created a lot of fun memories for him to say that. Shame not everyone gets to have a dad like you-Kate xx

Kate, How does he make the point more clear than saying "This is my Son, whom I have chosen (or love depending upon your bible version). Listen to Him."-Tammy

What about the Messiah of the old testiment? Shouldn't we listen to him? Why did God bury this clear point in paper, and socket pedestals, and fine linen with blue thread and brass pommegrantes (Leviticus)? How do we know what Jesus said anyway? Men wrote the Bible, there is no evidence God was involved with this process, an example of this is the Apostle Paul's sexist writings.

How can you be so narrow minded as to assert that thousands of years of Jewish history and religious mythology had anything to do with your dead carpenter?-cofty

I would like the answer to that question, I would phrase it more like, how can we be sure Jesus Christ of the NT the promised Messiah of the OT?

I've never encountered someone who claims Jewish ancestry who doesn't know how to spell '-stein'-Adam

Yes you have, meeeee. Well spotted Adam, it wasn't just a typo, I have a problem with my "ie" spelling always have. Good job science is in pictures.

this has been a worthwhile discussion Kate.-Giordano

I am glad you think so

comatose-I am not surprised by that. Jews are drilled probably the same as JW kids, but we have to cover all the old testiment. That only then made me curious about the New Testiment, and fell in the loving hands of a CULT to indoctrinate me.

Hay I knew more than them, no wonder I was on restrictions most of my time as a JW. LOL!
