What others do or do not is really irrelevant to the point, ==> oooh -- so does that mean that everything you post that is not Jehovahs' witness related is also irrelevant?

So lets stick to Jehovah's Witness topics -- why does your group reject blood transfusions even for prematurely born infants?

Next time bring a bone with some meat on it.

Ah, so the Jehovah's Witness training comes out? Why does the Jehovah's Witness train pervs? Is it so taboo to ask you questions about your religious group?

"If I'm not mistaken, you profess to belong to that church, don't you? How much are you in agreement with them?"

My FRiend...I thought by now you would understand that I don't belong to any of these man-made groups. They are all as corrupt as Rome. I only agree with those points at which they comport with the Scriptures.

As far as belonging, the Body of Christ, the elect before the foundation of the world, the church triumphant is the only "group" to which I belong. Perhaps you are in it, too. Unlike those who need the props of men in bathrobes and pointy hats, we only need the same kind of unnamed, home fellowships that existed following Pentecost. To which "organization" did Paul belong? But, within a couple hundred years came the Roman travesty.

Come away from the muck, leave the cult, swim back over the Tiber...if you can.

No, we leave the religious celebration of homosexual activities and marriage to the rather antiChristian

The RC has been ORDAINING gays forever... and they have been giving tacit approval to gay relationships by those ordained men and the women "married to Christ"by the church as well as pedophile activity... so much for the holier than thou attitude

What about the people who are humble enough to let God do the judging? Where do they flee? Certainly not to the Presbyterians.

Hummmm funny Catholics have the priests as judge and jury..not God

Absolutely true. And, might I add, that this is the group which primarily votes Democrat, while disavowing the platforms for which they stand, loves the mafia-controlled unions, and create the most liberal minded universities in the world. We need another Reformation.

I see that your sense of history has been unaffected by reality, as well.

Tacit approval? Hardly. The Lesbyterian Church is the one openly promoting active homosexual clergy, not just ordaining them, and also openly promoting and performing homosexual marriages.

Those that openly embrace such things get me wondering about their inclinations. Nobody says that one has to be heterosexual in order to have seven children.

Nope. The Catholic Church does not overtly or implicitly condone homosexuality. Various Presbyterian churches do (which encompass more than 90% of the worldwide Presbyterian congregants).

When will you as a congregant be required to enter into a homosexual relationship, do you think? Will you have to document it on video in order to prove your adherence to the new standards?

That is called double minded.. They do not "approve "it...but ordain flaming men..allow it as an environment in many of their Seminaries.. and cover up the illicit behavior..

Not sure who the YOU is.. the PCUSA is a liberal arminian/universalist church..christian in historic Christianity only

Do you believe that celibate homosexuals should be allowed to interact with the public at large in any way?

Yeah, yeah, and a century ago, what was its doctrine and practices? It is only a matter of time until the rest of rabble of the Reformation explode, implode, or Darwin themselves out of existance by not even bothering to replace themselves with children, preferring to indulge in their whims and whatever else passes for a lifestyle.

Muslims are taking over Britain. Why? The Anglo Saxon bunch is a bunch of toffee nosed prissies who can't be bothered to procreate - birth control is a very good thing to them except for teen welfare queens. The Muslims are taking over because they are simply outbreeding the weakening British resolve to, well, live. The British are not hanging onto their culture, their armed forces, their civilization and their Empire.

Plus, the Muslims are determined enough to hang on to their culture. The dominant culture in Britain is like a dying oak - rotten to the core and falling away in pieces. There are many holdouts in the southeast, I believe, but the major cities are as much of a mess as many of the American ones.
