A Proclamation on Transgender Day of Visibility, 2024

A recap on the topic of those who were outraged by Biden mentioning Transgender Day of Visibility in and around Easter Sunday, a traditional Christian holiday. The driven agenda centered on how politically inappropriate it was, despite the fact that Witnesses should have no voice in political matters since they don't vote or at least by true Christian ethics should not have the capacity to vote in such matters.

Why was a disreputable media outlet like FOX NEWS chosen to make this point when it was broadcast on many other outlets? The concern arises from the conservative values that people believe they have, despite their behavior lacking Christian ethics, as most of Christianity does.

Now that the dust has settled, the unfortunate aspect of that argument was its erroneous assumption. One compelling reason why witnesses should refrain from involvement in politics is their lack of understanding regarding the underlying political dynamics. 

That declaration is just one example of the misrepresentations made by those seeking to deceive the public.

Biden, while providing a slightly different description of the event, was referring to an occasion that originated in 2009 under the name "International Transgender Day of Visibility." This event was initially initiated by President BARACK OBAMA, not Biden. Biden proclaimed March 31, 2021, as"Transgender Day of Visibility" Therefore, it was not meant as a formal declaration but rather a recognition of the progress made by the movement.

Where was the outrage in 2021 that is so visible now in 2024, an election year? The stark contrast says more about the hypocrisy of the conservative Republican Party than the actual issue at hand. Why wasn't this brought up in 2021 to elicit the same level of response as we see now?

Did he choose a controversial time for Christians, being one himself (Catholic)? Perhaps, but then witnesses can remind themselves that the majority of Christianity is a false religion with no underlying surprises.

JWI was on the verge of doing so but couldn’t find your card in the card catalogue—none of which would have happened had he heeded my urging to modernize.

…. reminds me of three negro elders at the congregation I attended were talking about politics after a meeting, and I walked up and mentioned to them some stupid thing Obama did, and one of the elders absolutely BLEW UP, that I would DARE speak despairingly of Barak Hussein Obama!! The instantaneous and intense defense truly surprised me.

I concluded he was a “closet democrat”, as     many JWs are, as I was disappointed to learn over time.

Very sad.  Very, very sad.

I had the Elders confront me en banc when they learned I was a registered Republican, and I replied that in Finland Jehovah’s Witnesses are allowed to vote without any congregational sanctions whatsoever, and I was merely going by the rules Jehovah’s Witnesses go by in Finland.

They were stunned and made no further inquiry, so I got up and left.

I suspect, and it is just a guess, Georgie that you too, are a negro “closet democrat”.

 It’ a stereotype for sure, but you do fit the stereotype on so many, many points.

… and anticipating accusations of “racism”, I assure you I am not, as my three children are mixed race, by deliberate design.

…. and may I remind you that the Roman Centurion Army Officer Cornelius, sworn to the service of the Roman Empire, was described as a man of exceptional faith in Jesus, and as a man specifically approved by God.

The below proclamation quoted verbatim PROVES everything you said above IS A BALD FACED LIE.

(The "Transgender Day of Visibility" (TDOV) was started by transgender activist Rachel Crandall in 2009. NOT BARACK OBAMA. It was created to celebrate the transgender community and raise awareness about transgender rights and issues.)

You really should refrain from political subject discussions, Georgie.

It merely emphasizes your distorted agenda driven view of the Universe in every aspect of thought.

…. and that you are wrong.

What you have shown is that YOU have a highly visible political perspective, while trying to claim you don’t.

… and that you are wrong.

Therefore, I hereby declare April 4, 2024,  “George88 Vicar of Warwick Closet Democrat Visibility Day”  !

Most people outgrew that “I know you are, but what am I “ tactic in the fourth grade. 

I am old enough to remember when Democrats were people with different philosophies and different outlooks, but were sane. Robert A. Heinlein, Master of Science Fiction I highly respected, was a Democrat … but I have noticed in the last 40 years or so all the Democrats on TV or media reports think EXACTLY LIKE YOU, Georgie and your clone sock puppets like BTK and Alphonse da downvoter, et al.

The standard playbook among the Dims and you is projecting your agendas onto others to see if the bat crap crazy will stick to them as well.

You think you are fooling people, but your silly “blame game” fools no one other than your minions …. and yourself.

Very seldom do I even downvote your presumptuous fallacies because they are so painfully obviously not based on anything that is real.

I have taken your fantasies and directly discredited them with hard facts, one by one by one.

No deflection whatsoever. None. Zero.

Direct frontal attack with comprehensive real world proofs.

Reread the last two pages out loud and you will hear yourself reciting EXACTLY THAT.

You NEVER refute my proofs, because they ARE real proofs, even when challenged to do so.

You always choke, project, deflect, mislead, and lie.

You are like President Bill Clinton. EVERYBODY on all sides knew he was a liar, but were truly astonished how good he was at it.

Refute the facts and prove me wrong.

Proof.

Not projection.

i suspect about half of the convicted “apostates” are really “double agents”, serving Jehovah’s best interests while wearing the scarlet letter “A”, to precipitate important reform that is sorely needed.

THE classic example is the 2016-2017 apostate generated Watchtower Parody on beards, in which EVERYTHING STATED was 100% true, and diametrically opposed to the teachings and practices of the Society and the Governing Body, and the practices of the global congregations’ body of elders, with VERY few exceptions.

In March of 2024, the Governing Body caved in and recognised officially as true all the apostate points in that 2016-2017 apostate Watchtower parody.

When your agenda is control, bad things happen, and there is tyranny.

When your agenda is TRUTH, good things happen, and there is Liberty!

… and donchew forget now … the GB now allows Sisters to come to meetings and go out in field service in slacks or Mumus. 

Or slacks AND Mumus, if poundage appropriate.

Did I ever mention I once dated a Sister that made Mumus out of parachutes? She was an Opera singer, and had a UN diplomatic passport. She was on “speed”, couldn’t blink, and typed 600 words a minute with 100% errors. Occasionally she would get lipstick in her eyebrows.

From an individual who seems unapologetically self-absorbed, I must inform you that your perspective carries little significance. Therefore, feel free to express yourself vehemently and indulge in immature behavior.

Keep in mind that God is aware of your intricate malicious intentions. Remember, the consequences are a result of your own actions, leaving no one else to hold accountable but you.

You are just wrapped too tight, Georgie. 

I just like to deflate your pompous nebulosity and agenda driven view of life, the Universe, and Everything.

You think you are the boss and everyone else but you is stupid, as you constantly argue false premises and distorted reality.

    • An interesting concept, bible discipline. I am struck by the prevalence of ignorance about spiritual discipline on "Reddit." While physical and mental disciplines receive attention, the profound impact of spiritual discipline on a person's physical and mental well-being is often overlooked. Is it possible to argue against the words of the Apostle Paul? When he penned those words in Hebrews 12, he was recognizing that there are moments when an individual must be "rebuked" in order to be corrected. Even Jesus himself established a precedent when he rebuked Peter and referred to him as Satan for failing to comprehend what Jesus had already revealed to the apostles. Did that imply that Jesus had an evil heart? Not at all, it was quite the opposite; Jesus had a loving heart. His need to correct Peter actually showcased his genuine love for him. If he hadn't cared, he would have let Peter persist in his mistaken ways, leading to a fate similar to Judas'. There is a clear emphasis on avoiding the apostate translation and its meaning, yet many seem to overlook the biblical foundation for the reasons NOT to follow the path of the fallen brethren or those with an apostate mentality. Those individuals have embraced the path of darkness, where the illuminating power of light cannot penetrate, to avoid receiving the righteous discipline based on God's Bible teachings. They are undoubtedly aware that this undeniable truth of life must be disregarded in order to uphold their baseless justifications for the unjust act of shunning. Can anyone truly "force" someone or stop them from rejecting a friend or family member? Such a notion would be absurd, considering the fact that we all have the power of free will. If a Witness decides to distance themselves from a family member or friend simply because they have come out as gay, who is anyone within the organization to question or challenge that personal sentiment? It is unfortunate that there are individuals, both within and outside the organization, who not only lack a proper understanding of the Bible but also dare to suggest that God's discipline is barbaric. We must remember that personal choices should be respected, and it is not for others to judge or condemn someone based on their sexual orientation but should be avoided under biblical grounds. No one should have the power to compel an individual to change their sexual orientation, nor should anyone be forced to accept someone for who they are. When it comes to a family's desire to shield their children from external influences, who has the right to challenge the parents' decision? And if a family's rejection of others is based on cultural factors rather than religious beliefs, who can impose religious judgment on them? Who should true followers of Christ follow? The words of God or those who believe they can change God's laws to fit their lives? How can we apply the inspired words of Paul from God to embrace the reality of God's discipline? On the contrary, how can nonconformists expect to persuade those with a "worldview" that their religious beliefs are unacceptable by ostracizing individuals, when God condemns homosexuality? This is precisely why the arguments put forth by ex-witnesses are lacking in their pursuit of justice. When they employ misguided tactics, justice remains elusive as their arguments are either weak or inconsistent with biblical standards. Therefore, it is crucial to also comprehend Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9:27. The use of the word "shun" is being exaggerated and excessively condemned by those who reject biblical shunning as a form of punishment. Eph 5:3-14 NIV 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person — such a man is an idolater — has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.  6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.  8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible. The impact of the message becomes significantly stronger when we emphasize the importance of avoiding any association with unrighteousness and those who remain unrepentant. In fact, it becomes even more compelling when we witness how some individuals, who dismiss biblical shunning as a method of discipline, excessively criticize and condemn the use of the word "shun". Therefore, Jehovah's Witnesses do not shun people; instead, they choose to focus on the negative actions being committed, which is in accordance with biblical teachings. This should be construed as ex-Witness rhetoric. Now, let's consider why ex-Witnesses specifically target one particular religion. What justifications do they provide when other Christian denominations also adhere to the same principle grounded in the Bible? Chapter 1 - Preface Both must therefore test themselves: the one, if he is qualified to speak and leave behind him written records; the other, if he is in a right state to hear and read: as also some in the dispensation of the Eucharist, according to  custom enjoin that each one of the people individually should take his part. One's own conscience is best for choosing accurately or shunning. And its firm foundation is a right life, with suitable instruction. But the imitation of those who have already been proved, and who have led correct lives, is most excellent for the understanding and practice of the commandments. "So that whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup."  It therefore follows, that every one of those who undertake to promote the good of their neighbours, ought to consider whether he has betaken himself to teaching rashly and out of rivalry to any; if his communication of the word is out of vainglory; if the the only reward he reaps is the salvation of those who hear, and if he speaks not in order to win favour: if so, he who speaks by writings escapes the reproach of mercenary motives. "For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know," says the apostle, "nor a cloak of covetousness. God is witness. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome as the apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children."   (from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume 2) Divine promises 2. The manner of shunning, in the word escaping. There is a flying away required, and that quickly, as in the plague, or from a fire which hath almost burned us, or a flood that breaketh in upon us. We cannot soon enough escape from sin (Matt 3:7; Heb 6:18). No motion but flight becomes us in this case. Doctrine: That the great end and effect of the promises of the gospel is to make us partakers of the Divine nature. (from The Biblical Illustrator)  
    • Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."
