Jehovah's Witnesses

I again have been picking up copies of the Watchtower and Awake to see what updates there may be in this religion. I don’t say sect, for I truly believe they are a religion. Yes like many other sects they utilize methods that isolate you from your family if not in line with there belief’s and many other I don’t want to get into.

My blog is not to degrade the religion! I grew up a JW and have to say it helped me be the gay man I am today. Like many other religions they have child abuses, wife battery, child molestation and many other things you see with imperfect people. The only issue I have with the religion is that like Catholics they hide the issues internal so that it does not become public and thereby give them a bad name.

That being said I want to discuss an issue I read on the August 2010 (now published monthly) in the Awake. This is an issue that bothers me most than any other. If you can't get the story of the creator correctly, everything below that falls apart. When the word "he" is used to describe the creator. Since in heaven there is no distinguish between male and female, there would be no "he" or "she". In addition the creator made both Man and Woman, one with common sense would have to say the creator is a combination of both.

As humans we see things from a male/female perspective. That seems to guide us almost in everything we do. This is not the case in some civilization in the past and even some today! But in the general those that follow the western world see things this way. Could you imagine seeing people being their sexual orientation and just focus on their qualities. I understand to keep people in order and the original command to fill the earth some roles need to be players as father, mother, daughter and son.

But let’s face it the world is beyond population and as humans we should be looking at what is needed to go to the next phase of creation. Some like JW's are waiting for the creator to address the issue. Come down, kill people somehow keep these special ones alive and start a new world.

I would challenge this idea and say it's time we look at the original request and based on findings, "don't wait to be told (or a miracle), start addressing human needs always from sexual orientation needs.

Well that is Dr Q FOR NOW
