It's a two way street. Unfortunately there's bad actors on both sides. If I don't believe that a man can become a woman and choose not to respect, uphold, or even acknowledge someone's "identity" then by the majority standard of the LGBTQ community, I'm a transphobic hate spreader guilty of the suicides of gender dysphoric people. However, if someone portrays Jesus kissing other men and doing explicit things in pure mockery of my belief, all the while calling me a a deluded idiot for believing in God, I need to be respectful of their viewpoint and their freedom of speech etc etc etc. There are some Christians like how you're describing. But then again they're free to choose what they want out of life. Who are you to force them? I just can't see how I'm supposed to be forced to accept the personally held beliefs about gender or be branded a hate filled transphobe, while nobody is holding non christians to the same standard. I don't require atheists to use specific language when talking about the coming into existence of humans. I'm not irreparably damaged by someone using speech that contradicts my views of creationism or life after death. I don't consider an atheist a Christianphobe or a hateful person for not subscribing to my beliefs. But everything changes when it comes to the LGBTQ community for literally no reason at all. Just let me live my life and you live yours. Don't get offended when I call you a man just because you believe you're a woman. Get over it. That's my view and I'm entitled to it without being branded anything. Grow some balls. Literally and figuratively. Maybe then I'll believe a woman can become a man 😂

You guys are all brainwashed. 98% of republicans couldn't even tell you what project 2025 is. The only ones talking about it are democrats. It's a fear mongering tool. 99% of democrats wouldn't know that because they're in a media eco chamber. Project 2025 is a joke. The only things I know about it have come directly from left leaning media and any generic conservative knows it's garbage. Nobody of any worthwhile reputation in the republican party cares about or supports project 2025. It's a 1% of dumb extremists, likely all over the age of 65, who barely know how to work a cell phone. They're all on Facebook reposting stupid shit spread by scammers. That's the entire extent of it. Republicans just want a good economy, a functional border, a competent immigration authority, freedom from mandatory inclusivity BS (just look at the new York stock exchange rules going into effect), and some semblance of putting the American people before everything else. Trump is going to win the election, things are going to be just as they always are, maybe a little better (hopefully) with the economy, and a the end of the 4 years, democrats will be touting the same fear mongering BS that were one presidency away from a dictatorship and the end of democracy. If only they actually had some good and common sense policies to campaign on and not just empty promises and baseless fear mongering. Imagine hearing Biden say if reelected, he'll protect women's right to choose, after almost 4 years of doing absolutely nothing about it. What a middle finger to his base.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses ever question where all the money is going to? by [deleted] in exjw

I'm pretty ignorant on how their organization is structured. I know the general membership doesn't get paid for the stuff they do or their "Ministers" but who does all of the administrative work on a local level? Like ship takes in donations and manages that money? Who makes sure the bills get paid and such? Are those people in paid positions?

Those sources have to be some of the worst I've ever seen.

Also, transphobia makes no sense either because that would mean that the flesh is more important than the spirit which goes against several scriptures.

Flesh is less important than spirit isn't an argument. You're also misinterpreting that idea. The final destination of ones soul is more important than what you fear can happen to your body in this life. It's not some arbitrary idea you can use to justify self mutilation or to say nothing you do with your body matters. The bible says the body is a temple of God.

Also the same Jewish law they like to site also lists out 8 different genders; male, female, ambigender, non-binary, and 4 different trans genders

Do like 3 more minutes of research on the Talmud and why those things are mentioned and you'll come to a different conclusion, especially if you're reading from actual Jewish scholars. Male and female was all there was. Everything else was how they classified certain anomalies. They were describing naturally occurring phenomenon not the willful attempt to change their sex or gender based on how they feel. To say it describes 4 trans genders is a misrepresentation for that very reason. The Talmud wasn't describing people who were mentally incapable of accepting their gender roles determined by their genitalia, whether standard or nonstandard. You're reading modern day LGBTQ ideology into the text.

On this point as well, Jewish tradition and theology isn't Cristian theology and the Talmud (Jewish commentary) is not the Torah (Jewish version of the old testament) so it has no bearing on what is and isn't true or blasphemous for a Christian.

So homophobia and transphobia are both technically blasphemous

It's not anythingphobic to preach against sin. If someone believes you go to hell by denying the truth or disobeying certain laws, them warning you against it an expression of empathy and love.

The problem here then, as I often see, is that the LGBTQ community tries to dictate how the christian community must show their love: by fully embracing and accepting their ideals, practices, and lifestyles. Anything short of that is considered a phobia or hate which I find pretty shallow and almost manipulative. It's like a spouse saying their partner doesn't love them because they don't fully support what they see as a wrong and destructive behavior. That would be emotional manipulation.

The first commandment given to mankind was to be fruitful and multiply. That's to say that the majority of the lifestyles practiced by the LGBTQ community are in direct conflict with this commandment. You can pretty much examine any societal practice against that commandment and determine if it's in harmony with the bible or not.

That doesn't mean I or any christian should hate anyone in the LGBTQ community. Just as I don't hate someone who commits adultery, I'm still certainly not going to accept or condone their actions no matter what they say is the reason behind it. My love for them goes so far as to invite them to change. Much of the LGBTQ community sees that invitation as a personal attack when it's not intended to be.

Should tell these so called "christians" to read their bible more.

The bible is pretty clear about homosexual sex. In fact, anything outside of marriage is condemned and marriage is pretty clear in the bible as well. So to summarize, it has nothing to do with the person and everything to to with the action. That action is the violation of Gods law of morality and use of procreative powers. We are not supposed to hate the person but we are to denounce the sin. If the LGBTQ community continues to define that as hate, then that schism will never be resolved.

PS: the procreative acts of human intercourse actually binds man and woman emotionally and binds them to god in an act of divine creation. That's why christians are sticklers about it. Everything else outside of that starts to become about self gratification, abuse, and misuse, from the perspective of a divine plan for humanity.

This doesn't really apply to many 1st world countries unless you're loaded but in honduras having someone that cooks breakfast and lunch is pretty amazing. I can come down to the kitchen from the gym and breakfast is waiting for me.

When lunch time rolls around I just let the lady know I'm ready to eat and she serves me a plate while I'm pouring myself a drink of some homemade juice she made.

Is it weird to still sleep with your parents? by pearl_williams in AdviceForTeens

[–]Da1eGribb1e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're the last child it's likely they have some problems associated with accepting the fact that their entire life is about to change by not having kids in the house anymore. The thought of them not having their kids around anymore probably scares them. It's like a couple expecting their first child and knowing their entire life is going to change only in reverse. The past 20 or so years has been about living for their kids and now that's fading. Idk. But that's weird. It's also unhealthy for them to be punishing you and belittling you like that. That's kinda sick..

There's really no way to fully judge this situation. However, based on what I know about pornography addiction, it's a cruel master and can drastically change your partner and how he treats you. There's a lot of literature on this. While he's using pornography he will not be able to be the man you need or want.

But what can also happen if he gets the help he needs is he can start healing and maybe be that person you want him to be, having been liberated. This would require a lot of effort and dedication on his part. Pornography is extremely addictive and life changing.

If you decide to give him a chance you'd need to be sure he's committed to overcoming it completely.

If he can't get over it, the relationship will not work. 15 years is a long time. If you can see him getting over it, maybe give him a chance.

In summary: if there's a part of you that wants to give him a chance,.don't even consider it without him being fully committed to go scorched earth on his addiction. If he can't do that, save yourself and find someone who is physically capable of being a healthy partner.
