Matt 19:6 - WTB$ preaches the sanctity of marriage but see what happens when one partner leaves the bOrg!

by punkofnice in

mrs punk was not a happy bunny when i announced i was leaving the wtb$ as it was all a big farce.. she has been quite rude to me, she walked out one weekend and came back 2 days later from staying with a relative.

she told me about all the negative reasons i left (attributing the 'evil' to me and none to the holy 7 headed beast the gb).

she has told the teenage kids they are not to listen to me.. she refuses to talk bible and gives me the 'talk to the hand sign' on the basis she refuses to listen to my 'spiritual pornography' (now there's an appealing thought!!).

Hi punkofnice,

Having lived over 26 years being defined as a "unbelieving husband" I can tell you that the Org doesn't give a rat's @** about the sanctity of marriage unless both partners are submissive to them.

If a brainwashed mate has to choose between the WTS and a "worldly" partner you need to remember they are in fact brainwashed and they will almost always choose the WTS.

I feel ill every time I read a thread about the marriage subject. The wittness organization is a destroyer of personal relationships and few couples survive the perpetual propaganda against "outsiders".

You have my best wishes and hope for a good outcome of your current situation but whatever it may be you will survive it.

Other people here may believe you are qualified or "anointed and appointed" to judge if my faith is real or not but I don't so if you want to place yourself in that position it's your skin, not mine. I am pretty easily amused by your ramblings.

If you are trying to belittle me or prove how intelligent and wise you are, it only reminds me of 1 Cor 1:19.

If you want want to go off on some extensive dialogue to tell me and everyone else how foolish or wrong I am it will only remind me of 2 Tim 2:14.

Now, as Forrest Gump says, "And that's all I have to say about that."

What say you Christians ???

by wobble in

it seems to me that most, if not all christians are really hung up on sin and redemption from sin and how naturally evil we all are.. my question, and observation is this : i had nothing to do with whatever you say adam and eve did wrong, i have always, throughout my life, treated whoever i came into contact with compassion, respect and love.. i have lived by the golden rule.. not many people, hand on heart, can say that, i can.. so, is your god going to judge me for the "sin" of some mythical forebears of mine ?

is he going to say that , because i did not believe in him, i willl be judged adversely, even though i lived by the precepts he is supposed to support ?.

all i can say is, if your god is like that, i refuse to worship or acknowledge him.. and i certainly do not want to get to know him.

I will post the same scripture for godrulz as I did for thetrueone

2 Timothy 2:

Dealing With False Teachers

14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.

As Forrest Gump said "And that's all I have to say about that."

She shows too much cleavage. What should I say to her?

by Iamallcool in

i met a gorgeous lady yesterday and she shows too much cleavage.

i see her facebook page, all of her pictures has cleavage in them, i would not want to date her because she shows too much all the time.

i am tempted to tell her to cover up her cleavage, she might not like me telling her that.

beenthere26yr

Too much cleavage = Boobs too big. I like them smaller. But that's just me.

Some like it hot, some like it cold. Some like it in the pot nine days old.

If she really likes you, she will appreciate your concerns.

If Men Could Menstruate

by mrsjones5 in

if men could menstruateby gloria steinem.

a white minority of the world has spent centuries conning us into thinking that a white skin makes people superior - even though the only thing it really does is make the more subject to ultraviolet rays and to wrinkles.

male human beings have built whole cultures around the idea that penis envy is "natural" to women - though having such an unprotected organ might be said to make men vulnerable, and the power to give birth makes womb envy at least as logical.in short, the characteristics of the powerful, whatever they may be, are thought to be better than the characteristics of the powerless - and logic has nothing to do with it.what would happen, for instance, if suddenly, magically, men could menstruate and women could not?the answer is clear - menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event:men would brag about how long and how much.boys would mark the onset of menses, that longed-for proof of manhood, with religious ritual and stag parties.congress would fund a national institute of dysmenorrhea to help stamp out monthly discomforts.sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free.

Yea, and for a few days every month he would have PMS and shut the wife, kids and dog out of the house.

Then along about 45 or 50 he would be running the A/C when it's 10 below outside.

I proclaim nothing except that Jesus is the son of God and that he was sent to save us by being the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. That he was crucified, dead and buried. He was resurected and sits with our father to judge us. Jesus will judge me and whatever the outcome of his judgement I accept.

Who are you trueone? The wise one? A teacher of the law? The philosopher of this age?

Enough said. I'm going to read 2nd Timothy 2:14 again

So I will post it again.

1 Cor 1:

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” [ c ]

20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

And when you believe you are wise enough or intelligent enough to answer even your own questions, humble yourself and read this scripture again.

The debates here, however amusing, and some really are amusing always take me to:

2 Tim 2:

14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.

Took me awhile to find it but here it is.

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;

Someday I'll figure out the correct procedure for copy and paste.
