  Is it OK to teach your children that Homosexuality is wrong?

  by Thomasdam in

  1. social
  2. family

  i know a few family's who have left the cult but send their kids to a religious school because of the public schools teaching many times that homosexuality is ok. the bible is clear that its a sin.

  there is no just love each other and its all ok. i don't believe in the bible or any religion.

  i have a niece who came out as gay and i told her i don't care.

  What worries me is that kids are now being subjected to all this in primary school over here in the UK. One of my friends, a primary school teacher has been told that she has to show a video of two homosexual penguins in New York zoo (supposedly a real story I'll have to check it over?) And how they are in a 'relationship' because they spend all of their time together. She teaches year 1 (5-6 year olds). Truly frightening why this is allowed and encouraged at this age

  Do You Take Any Special Vitamins or Meds That You Would Recommend?

  as we get older , we tend to feel the aches and pains or some tiredness like never before.. i have some friends who are in excellent condition and i’ve asked what their secret was.. some swear by cbd oil as a cure all for aches and localized pain.

  greek yogurt is a natural food that can attack gut fat as does taking probiotics.

  have you found anything that makes you more energized?

  Vitamin B. It's like you drank a crate of redbull but you don't have the comedown XD. You also have luminous pee which is quite the novelty.

  so i just watched a documentary on netflix called "the end of the world cult" about some geezer named wayne bent (self proclaimed as michael travesser).

  some of the stuff this guy says is absolutely unbelievable, and made me seriously think that there are some god awful cults out there, and made me think my time in the jw's (however boring and restrictive) wasn't all so bad... has anyone else seen this?

  does anyone have any recommendations on other documentaries of the like??

  I'm full of them lol. Yeah I know how you feel! I was exactly the same until I gradually started getting angrier and angrier at the teachings.

  Onwards and upwards

  I suppose you're right Blondie.

  Kind of like "I'm sorry you got herpes, but on the bright side, at least it's better than HIV..."

  What is the current pulse in the organization with the reductions?

  by SouthCentral in

  2. friends

  i have not seen jehovah’s witnesses in my neighborhood for several years now.

  it appears that the cart witnessing has taken over.

  congregations are being consolidated and witnesses are being forced to travel a greater distance than before.the burdens/privileges of elders seem to be ever increasing!.

  I remember when I did the cart once, we put it against the wall of a viaduct, en route to one of the least busy train stations in the whole area. It was pouring with rain so we just sat in the car while over the course of 2 hours about 3 or 4 people ran straight past the cart and into the train station. Did have a really nice steak and ale pie though so not a total waste.

  Flip flop reposting for the newer members

  i posted this a while ago and i was asked for it again recently, which made me think of putting it back here for any newer members.. please find a link that is active for one month which lists the jw teachings which have been changed back and forth.. flip flop pdf.

  it was this alone which made me realise the wt are clueless, imperfect guessers at doctrine, so why do they deserve to be followed.

  (spoiler: they don't deserve to be.

  Works for me! Thank you. Did have a good old laugh about the "Questions from our readers" section that says, is it wrong for a pet to receive a blood transfusion... And it is! 😂.
