Kicking the "Gay Habit" at the IC

by breakfast of champions in

heard from a reliable source that this was part of friday's program.

they even interviewed a "former gay man" who "kicked the gay habit".. evidently kicking the "gay habit" is difficult, not unlike quitting smoking or avoiding sugary snacks.

the persons who related this to me found the whole thing to be laughable at best, but honestly seemed quite disturbed by it (which is good!

DJS...really?

Take science and anything else out and it doesn't fit.

I can be a single male or female and adop a child...and have a child.

Show me a case where two of the same sex had a child without intervention!

Well...what defines natural attraction?

I can be attracted to someone of the same sex but do not want to have a sexual relationship with them.

Male and female equals the ability to reproduce. That seems natural to me. Anything else stops the reproduction process unless science intervens.

How long would the human population expand if we were all gay without reproducing?

I Have A Problem With the Shepherding Kids article on Cedars Blog

by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker in

go ahead and rip me to shredds, been in the elder's backroom sooo many times i'am use to it.. "cedar's blog" is usually really good, but i see a error being created here:.

"this particular article overtly urges parents to gain access to the minds of their children in order to influence their life decisions.... frequently talking with your children gives you greater access to their thoughts and feelings.

that, in turn, will help you to have a greater influence on the decisions they make in life.

Agree...as long as your motive is pure from a non controled cult perspective...They may be your children...however u can not abuse them by stopping their own critical thinking skills!

I used to think that 7 million JWs was a large number

by dogon in

then i saw a stat that made me think differently.

there are 7 million practicing voodoo religion world wide.

about the same as jws, and the big thing is that they do not at all go out and try to convert people at all, not one pamphlet not one tract no door to door calls, phone calls nothing nada.

There are more lesbian, gay, or bisexual in the USA, then JW's in the world! So who has gods blessings!

Drawing on information from four recent national and two state-level population-based surveys, the analyses suggest that there are more than 8 million adults in the US who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual, comprising 3.5% of the adult population. In total, the study suggests that approximately 9 million Americans – roughly the population of New Jersey – identify as LGBT.

org is dying

by lambsbottom in

i don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.

i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.

the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

Not to worry here's a replacement for all who are searching!

by Dis-Member in

i ask if i may kiss you.. you just smile; no answer is necessary.. my initial kiss is just a flirting of our lips.. my tongue lightly flicking -.

the tip of my tongue runs all around your lips.

Iraq Descends Into Religious Civil War

by cofty in

half a million refugees are on the move ahead of sunni jihadists in northern iraq.. the speed of the advance is startling.

the iraqi army seems to be impotent.

the government's attempt to declare a state of emergency had to be abandoned when insufficient mps turned up to vote.. the insurgents are just 60 miles from baghdad this evening.

Oppression leads to this!
