I'm confused here: how are you not just making my exact point for me? Yes, I'm sure if you saw a bunch of gay persons together at a bar, you would designate it a "gay bar" and see nothing more than the fact that all these persons happen to be gay.
otherwise are you prepared to ignore this sexuality and think, oh that's not a gay bar, its just a persons bar, OK, the people who frequent it are gay, but hey they are gay persons who coincidently just happen to be congregating at this particular spot at this particular moment, and the bar has the designation gay bar, but its not really a gay bar, its just a bar with persons who happen to be gay, really Lemony, is this the way we should be thinking???
Originally posted by ThinkOfOnewhen you post something with content rather than the usual, 'your a bigot! your a bigot!', type of nonsense, then we shall have something to discuss, as it stands, its just another hollow assertion.
You really seem to like the "slander" defense regardless of its relevance.
Only a bigot would use the terms you used earlier as well as have such an obviously prejudiced position.
It's a valid question:
Is your bigotry a result of your Jehovah's Witness training or did you pick it up on your own?

Do you see the irony in the fact that so many "Christians" are the least tolerant of their neighbors? That these "Christians" love their neighbors the least?
Originally posted by ThinkOfOnei have provided reasoning, either refute the reasoning or withdraw the assertion and issue an apology. nope i dont see it, all i see is the wicked and sluggish slave beating and accusing his brothers day and night.

From what I can tell, you made up the other disparaging term so they could rhyme.
Go ahead, try to defend it.
Little wonder that you "don't see it". Bigots usually don't.
Originally posted by ThinkOfOnenope im not buying it, Gaydo is a colloquial term for homosexual, and as far as i am concerned carries none of the sinister connotations of other terms, lesbo is also the same, therefore if all you have is that they are colloquial terms, then i think my conscience can rest easy, for its my opinion against yours or the author of the article that you have produced as 'damning evidence', it was a feeble try but you had to clutch at something.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou can call it "colloquial" all you want, but it's a "colloquial" term that's considered DISPARAGING and OFFENSIVE.

Like I said earlier, "Little wonder that you 'don't see it'. Bigots usually don't."

Is your bigotry a result of your Jehovah's Witness training or did you pick it up on your own?
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneok, then i shall continue to refer to you as the homosexual, how about that? was your homosexuality the result of a predisposition of your genetic makeup or through a preferential choice?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI guess I'll just have to believe that your behavior is typical of Jehovah's Witness'.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOnenope its not typical, what do you think we are mindless drones assimilated into some type of borgian subconscious? you have been assimilated? i notice that you are not denying the assertions that i made. will you also admit to being a tax collector and a sinner?

But it's good to know that JW's aren't taught to be bigots and that you picked it up on your own.
