l know animals do it but their animals.they dont live by a moral code.the thought of 2 men going for it is not normal.what are your thoughts?.
I guess the accusation of not being normal is a slight improvement over "sinful" or "unnatural" which were once the insults of choice.
Maybe in time the description will give way to quirky, or individual, or even glorious.
Instead of normal, is homosexuality glorious? Maybe the same people will ask.
it's doing the rounds but i've not seen it before.. explaining your beliefs about homosexuality.
there are three pages.
here are my thoughts on each question on the pages:.
Archived so they can never claim they didn't say these things.Good idea, they are bound to abandon this position at some point. To quote from them: "people can change".
the healings, feeding the five thousand, walking on water, resurrecting the dead.
none of it happened of course but let's take the bible literally and say that it did.. so?.
didn't magic practicing priests perform 'miracles' in a contest with aaron?
Many of the miracles have antecedents in the Old Testament and other literature. A large part of the function of miracles in the narrative is to show that Jesus is a prophet like Moses, Elijah, Isaiah and so on.
pure speculation here but i'm wondering if - with the numbers flat-lining - that the gb will stop giving country by country stats, or perhaps at least some of the statistics.. we used to get a monthly stat in the km - then that was "simplified" to "highlights".
only the "good" stuff.
then with the new clam workbook, no stats at all.. i wonder if the yearbook will soon only contain "positive" spun stats.
He ebook still has the full report sir, I am pretty sure!

Yes we've got reason to believe the figures. Census results in various countries, including Canada, Australia, Brazil and Mexico, consistently show higher numbers of self-identified JWs than publishers reported in yearbooks, sometimes significantly higher.

while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.
because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".
i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.
Okay so now you're saying it is possible to be a Christian without being either ignorant or dishonest.
But you are saying that the Christian God has been disproved?
Is that correct? And is there no contradiction there?

So you admit that you characterise Christian believers as either ignorant or dishonest?
It should be pretty clear that by "believers" I meant Christians, since we're not exactly overrun by Hindus or Sikhs or other religions on the forum. And are deists who allow for an impersonal God normally described as "believers"? I didn't think so.
Anyway since you feel so terribly misrepresented (always) let's gladly clarify, it's just the 1.6 billion or so Christians that you are you calling either ignorant or dishonest. Other kinds of believers, deists, agnostics and Jedis no doubt eagerly await your judgement.

Or if thoughtful atheists are embarrassed by atheists who go around insisting God has been disproved and believers must be either ignorant or dishonest.

His accent sounds a bit like Jack Barr. Did they at any point explain why they need to do this relocation? In the past new branches were sold as necessary expansions to increase capacity. What's the rationale for this? It seems like a lot of activity for activity's sake, and collecting donations.
