Deprogramming your "Last Days" phobia...
by logansrun inraised in a religion that preached a massive, theocratic holocaust for the majority of mankind can leave you with more than a few mental and emotional scars.
i remember being terrified on new years eve in 1986 (i was 9 yrs old) because of all the talk that that year was the "international year of peace.
" i was conditioned to look at world events as being a sign that the end is near, sound familiar?

More Comments, come on!
I get the feeling like the majority of people are just reading these posts, and not posting or sticking a decent comment in. Is everyone staying outside of the topic, staying on the 'safe' side of the nice neat wooden stakes and flourescent string?

Dude, you have to check out this site! I recommend pouring over it. It helped me a lot. I saw where and from whom the uneducated/biased Russell got his ideas, and where those people in turn got their ideas. Branch off into other areas of research at will. Thre is an answer to it all. Knowledge truly is power!

More uninformed museings-
I remember a gay guy telling me that faithfulness was more of a concern to him than a hetero relationship, beacause guys like sex so much they are more likely to cheat. I also remember a bi guy telling me that same-sex attraction was of 2 types: kind of like looking in a mirror, seeing yourself- or what you'd like to be- in the other person; or, confirming your atractiveness by an admirer. To me, the hetero relationships seem different, like how can you aspire to physical characteristics of a different sex person? It seems like more of a challenge to understand and meld with a different sex person.
Ideas about the porn thing: 1) female-female stuff may be seen as generaly more acceptable/desirable/whatever because of historical norms about carnal desires and sin being intrinsic in the nature of women, right back to Eden-fruit-gate. Kind of like interracial taboos about sex. 2) Also, because men are generaly more overtly sexual, physical sex between women may be seen as less common therefore more desirable. 3) More astheticaly pleasing because its less 'messy'/dangerous (no ejaculate, etc. - I got this one from a bi woman). 4) Hetero guys are afraid that bi/gay guys are going to treat them like some hetero guys treat women (bad- I got that froma Kids in the Hall actor).
Any ideas?

Interesting topic, one of those things that rattles around but never gets nailed down. At university there are several pro-alternative lifestyle groups. I think the thing that concerns me is how people (mabey just the loud ones) tend to gravitate toward special interest groups. Many people feel pressured to 'declare' a 'camp' of strong thought or belief. It reminds me of religious belief too much. Its funny, I remember in Thailand all the different sexuality I saw. Despite there being no Pro-groups, people seemed to do what they wanted and flourish. I guess theres no Anti-groups to martial against.

Dating non-Jehovah Witnesses
by ClassAvenger in.
why can't jehovah witnesses date or marry people that are not jehovah witnesses?
thanks.

I still laugh about articles like that, warning about 'unsuspectingly' falling into a mixed marriage. As if we missed the first landslide of hate liturature. You'd have to be pretty dim.

JW Friends
by ClassAvenger in.
i've always wondered what jehovah witnesses think about a friend who is a non-jw.
do they pretend to be good to you from the outside while thinking in their heads that you are "worldly" and that nothing good will come out of the non-jw?

Thats correct. A 'good' witness looks at non-witnesses as a different species, not to be messed with. If you have more knowlegde, you're a curiousity- only of value if you can further their work. Of course, a 'week' witness may think differently...

So the WTS grudgingly admits they're experiencing a "learning curve" about child molestation.
Its a good thing that child molestation hasn't been happening in the organization for the last 100plus years.
Too bad that "learning curve" is built on the bodies of millions sacrificed at the Watchtower altar.
