So what you're saying is: on one hand, one is a gay from birth (genetic cause) if same-sex attraction occurred at tender age (5/6 yrs)

and on the other hand a gay created by environment is someone who only discovered that homosexual attraction at adolescence onwards. Is that right?

One question: how does one find an attraction to any sex, let alone the same sex, at the tender age of 5 or 6 years? Surely you don't mean sexual attraction. And if the attraction is not sexual, can we actually refer to this kind of emotional(?) attraction as a guide for sexual orientation??

WTS-UN Human Rights Connection?

by Van Gogh in

sorry to regurgitate some "old light" onto your keyboards folks, but i came across the following link: .

http://www.unhchr.ch/huridocda/huridoca.nsf/0/66cf0523c6217c4b802567cc002f8b0e?opendocument .

it shows how the wts was represented by three different observers from three different ngo's at the annual meeting of the human rights commission of the united nations in may 1999: .

Perhaps in legal talk one says that the WTBTS is not involved with the UN. However, it is very apparent that they are since they allow representatives to get involve with the UN.

I mean if they truly do not agree with that representation then why do they not yank those associations back? Right?

angels - some questions

by DannyBloem in

1) according to the bible the angels have differences in rank and priveleges.. so why is it ike that?

can god not have some equality in his own organisation in the heaven?

and can we then ever hope on some equality?.

Inquisitor

Btw, does the bible actually say that the angels cannot reproduce? I haven't come across that scripture.

I thought the idea that they are sexless is an inference from the scriptures and cannot actually be found in writing. Maybe I'm wrong.

"Angels were created individual and sexless...Then why did God create them with sexual desires, that they felt attracted to the woman on the earth before the flood? Isn't that a bit harsh?"

You've got me there. It was said that the angels had been looking at the daughters of men and so they decided to come to earth to get lucky with them chicks etc etc...

I don't understand how angels would have thought about sex with those women.

I mean, they have no sex-drive. We do. Yet, if you stared long enough at a female chimpanzee/orangutan, would you suddenly have a kinky urge to be an ape and to ...(I won't even say it)?

Of course not!! Just doesn't make sense to me. How ever beautiful those women were, why would their beauty have captivated those PERFECT spirit creatures?

Hi all,

Quick question, what book are the witnesses studying at their book study these days? I got the impression that it is the Daniel's Prophecy book. But hadn't they already gone through that book? And does anyone know what book they will consider after (given that Daniel's isn't really thick)

Cheers

Shining one

You've forgotten to mention that the right wing Christian movement and morally conservative scientists also promote half-truths about gay people.

Myths to support their distaste for this sexual orientation

e.g. all gays have poor father-son relationship, most gays have emotional problems etc.

Don't believe me? Check out NARTH.
