Which Figured it out First - Your Right Brain or your Left Brain?
by HintOfLime inhi everyone, have a question:.
in your experience, which side figured out that the wt wasn't really "the truth" first?.
the right side of the brain is generally considered to be the "artistic, emotional, 'all at once', sub-conscious, dreaming" side of your brain, while the left being the "logical, procedural, step 1 then step 2" side of your brain.. for me it was clearly the right side - my left side had been well trained to ignore or weasel around the logical problems with the wt.

Non-practising homosexual JW's
by Quillsky inas i understand it, being gay is not a sin in the organization, only homosexual acts are sins.
i've never read anywhere that gay jw people are encouraged to "fix" their gayness and marry.. i've certainly known a fair number of confirmed bachelor types who live exemplary lives in the witness sense - one life-long bethelite i knew springs to mind - but are clearly (to me anyway) gay.
they've all been in the closet though.. i wonder if any jw has ever been out of the closet, but not disfellowshipped since they don't have sex?

PARADISE EARTH OR HEAVEN? OR BOTH?
by exjw2814 inthe jw's teach about the hope we have for living on a paradise earth.
is that what jesus taught when he came to the earth ?
the last time i checked he was referring to heaven, not earth.

Instant dinner party
by Quillsky inhere's the scenario......... it's friday evening and you've arrived home from work, ready to enjoy the night at home watching a movie.
your home is averagely tidy and clean, your fridge and cupboards contain the food and drink they're normally stocked with, nothing special.. at 7pm the doorbell rings.
you open the door and two couples are standing there, friends of yours that two weeks ago you invited over for supper tonight.
