Taz, I hope you enjoyed your little visit to heaven 'cause after that post you're going to hell for sure!!!
He already knows that.
We're going to be neighbors.
"I didn't mean for this thread to become all about me, though."
That's what heaven is...every bww post is about you!
joe baby, hell is where the party is! I wouldn't have it any other way.
Heaven is for losers like Phelps and Bin Laden.
For me ,Hell is living forever with the things that you regret doing in your life.
Heaven for me is to be surrounded by all the friends and family that have been a positive force in your life...
I dont think any one religion is right. The only problem that I have with any religion is when they push thier beliefs on you and judge you for what you believe. TO EACH HIS OWN.. just dont tell me I'm wrong for believing what I believe..
I grew with 8 brothers and sisters in a Mormon family and and have respect for the church and most of its followers. They have always been gracious to me and my family and are typically good people.
Doodle, you're very sweet. Hey, we might meet soon-
I don't see why a Mormon ad needs to be taken down, and even if it does, why we need to pick on the Mormons. Not all Mormons are bad. Jane2, you would probably fit in with "Humanistic Judaism" or maybe "Reform", but I consider neither to be Jewish denominations. The true Jews are Orthodox and maybe Conservative, because they say that they're committed to halakha.
P.S. I am a male.
EDIT: I think someone with 10 years of Orthodox Jewish education would know something about Judaism for the person who said I know nothing about the religion.

Yes, mtf, we are reformed Jews. In fact, my father was the contractor for our town's new Reformed Temple when I was a child. There is a page dedicated to him in the archives of that momentous event-the opening of the Temple.
We reformed Jews wonder about you orthodox not recognizing us as Jews. Doesn't that upset you, knowing that 6 million Jews were killed? Don't we need all the Jews we can keep? HUH?
"I don't see why a Mormon ad needs to be taken down, and even if it does, why we need to pick on the Mormons. Not all Mormons are bad."
well, maybe because the Catholics, Baptists, whatever do NOT advertise here.
No one said all Mormons are bad....(did you even READ the thread?)
The point is, and I say this very slowly for you......(who I am assuming is a straight male who CAN get married)
Mormons are bussed into my state to tell me how to vote on issues they do not participate in.
The Morman faith is horribly anti-gay.
This site has MANY gay people......now you think on that.
It would be like if a bunch of good-ole-boy KKKers were bussed into downtown Detroit and went door to door to tell people to vote against black issues......
Perhaps that should clear it up for you.
We don't recognize anyone who is not committed to keeping halakha. Conservative Jews are committed to halakha, and obviously Orthodox are. Elphaba, Catholicism is anti-gay, too and I don't see anyone saying "Catholics are horrible. They are so ...". I know some gay Catholics, and even though their religion objects to homosexuality, they are still proudly gay and Catholic.
I think someone should call the number on the ad and ask them if they allow gays into heaven.
I'm sure their answer will illuminate why religion in general (and mormonism specifically) is a load of hogwash.
Btw, can you believe this thread is still here?
The Jewish heaven is for ANYONE. Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, anyone who observed the Noahide laws (no idolatry, no blasphemy, no murder, no theft, no sexual immortality, no eating the limb of an animal, and establishment of courts of justice). Now, I know everyone's going to say now, "SEXUAL IMMORALITY! JEWS ARE ANTI-GAY!" I don't consider homosexuality to be sexually immoral. Some ultra-Orthodox Jews may think this, but I know many accepting Jews and gay Orthodox Jews, who are opposed to this, because the Torah says nothing about homosexuality.
yes, taz...it's hilarious.
The Torah calls homosexuality and "abomination" in Leviticus.
Looking forward to hell, me.
"Oh, the gays and their wit! Hell must be a laugh riot."
Hell will be full of booze, drugs and all the unprotected sex we could ever need.
I mean, we're already dead so it can't get any worse!
It says "a man who lies with a man in a woman's bed as one would with a woman" is an abomination.
it is obvious, you are VERY young and just cannot read and comprehend a post, and comment on it from this which you have written...
"Elphaba, Catholicism is anti-gay, too and I don't see anyone saying "Catholics are horrible."
Because, you twit....THERE ARE NO ADVERTISEMENTS FOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON BWW....THAT is the issue. Can you read?
and I never said 'Mormons are horrible".......sheesh, LEARN TO READ AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ....
"(no idolatry, no blasphemy, no murder, no theft, no sexual immortality, no eating the limb of an animal, and establishment of courts of justice)"
DARN! And I just had a chicken leg for lunch! As Maxwell Smart would say, "missed it by THAT much!"
Are the key words "woman's bed"?
So... it's a moot point then, because we've got a big manly bed!

I'm pretty sure that Leviticus is admonishing bisexuals. Not gay people. I would NEVER lay with a woman in the same way I would lay with a man.
I'd never do a woman period.
There are many variations as to the exact interpretaion of that verse, but it's purpose is to clearly and demonstratively condemn homosexuality. If you think otherwise, you are flat out incorrect. And you're not the only one with a great understanding of Orthodox Jewry mtf3.
Ask any Orthodox Jew what the Torah says regarding homosexuality and they will quote you that verse and say it is an abomination.
