Persecution doesn't work. The Catholic history shows this from the time of the Crusades, Inquisition, and Witch Burnings. The homosexual community has suffered a long history of persecution at the hand of religion. It needs to come to an end.

by fulltimestudent inmiracles still happen, eh?.
centuries of misrepresentation and persecution of gay people may be about to end, as far as the catholic church is concerned.. more than 200 bishops have been taking part in the synod since 5 october.

Heaven, where you are?
by free2beme inso in the last couple of months we lost robin williams and joan rivers and i have heard something a lot.
i bet they are loving the comedy shows in heaven, or they are now performing with no pain and so on.
so is this the image christians have of heaven, that what you are on earth is what you will be doing in heaven?

I'm in Canada. We used to have turkey but it was usually on the Sat or Sun, never the Mon so I guess we were 'safe'. Same would go for Christmas Gift Exchange Day... we'd have turkey but not on Christmas day, usually after. As I said, turkey feeds a large group very well.

does jesus become the alpha and the omega?
by Crazyguy inwhen the book of revelations starts off its clear god is but by the last chapter every time i read it its hard to tell so ce there's so many people talking john, angel,jesus etc.. its also implied at times the angels are his.
it seams to me that jesus get exalted to this postition or becomes one in the same with god not a trinity but god.
can't tell your thoughts?.

The Book of Revelation was written by a man, John of Patmos, of advanced years. This wack-a-doodle book is what you get when an author is either high on magic mushrooms or suffering from dementia.
Jesus is Douchebag 2.0 (see Matthew 10:35). I don't get why people want to follow him.

Turkey is a large bird and feeds a lot of people. Cranberry helps you digest it.

JW.ORG REPORTS THE WATCHTOWER RESPONSE TO EBOLA
by NAVYTOWN ini just checked the jw.org website and noticed an article about the jw response to ebola.
as i suspected, the entire focus was on alerting and educating jw members about ebola.just like in other disaster situations, the jw organization almost exclusively assists it's own members, ignoring the general public.
it seems their main concern is keeping their members healthy so they can continue to spread the jw message door to door!!!

The entire Organization shoves all its chips into the center of the table on one bet: they are the only mouthpiece of God on earth.
Standing in my parent's kitchen years ago, I asked both of them at the same time "Is God directing the Watchtower?"
At exactly the same time, my Dad answers "No." and my Mom answers "Yes."
You shoulda seen the 'Holy Shiite!' look pass between them. It was priceless.

by hamsterbait inin his preesentation, he speaks to "you the young ones".
"you are the next generation of " adult witnesses.
this one sentence using generation in the normal way, at a stroke, shows they just made up the overlapping teaching to get themselves out of a hole.. .

Can a religion claim: Only we have the truth?
by Kalos intruth is self-evident (things like: the whole is greater than its part ....).. truth is always right (things like: caring for the accident victim helplessly bleeding on the road ....).. claiming: only we have the truth is like claiming: only my university is useful.
history shows that many school/college drop-outs have made significant contributions to the society like many those who completed their education!
and on the contrary, many school/college drop-outs have made significant damage to the society like some of those who completed their education!

A religion can claim whatever it wants to. It is up to the individual to demand factual evidence to back up the claim. When this cannot be produced, you have your truthful answer.
Any organization that claims to have exclusive knowledge of 'the truth' is a cult. My advice is to walk away.
