Re: g_b Life is boring!
Another simple question . are you all of these? No objective test will find a human this way normally. So why should this ideal person (or anyone for that matter) love you? from what little i have seen and experienced in the xxx odd years i have been on earth, the list of attributes is never met and ppl who go by them, end up depressed and single. I was hardly anything that my bf may have wanted in his attribute list maybe, but i am sure we both are happy and contented and we chose to see above a narrow list to look at a person and not a job profile. if you think you can love a person for a set of hard coded attributes only, all the best. Just be prepared for umpteen breakups and heartbreaks :( Rgds Manoj --- On Fri, 12/3/10, Aditya Bondyopadhyay adit.b...@gmail.com wrote: From: Aditya Bondyopadhyay adit.b...@gmail.com Subject: Re: g_b Life is boring!

And then some walks in with a list that says: he should be smart,cool,down 2 earth,romantic, strong,educated, supportive n emotional as wellof all should be boyish,independent, decent, n matured with manly attitude.. should be protective n friendly in nature.should be able 2 face life as it comes..should trust others,.should understand me n my feelings.. share my joy ,sorrows,everything 2 whom i can talk freely n express myself..n also who is comfortable in expressing himself 2 me.. would love 2 spend passionate special moments of life with him...like-- ---watching movies,, travelling places,go for drive,having candlelight dinnergoing on a date,becoming passionate and romantic..., etc. The person at the counter looks at the list, takes out the appropriate pieces of the genome, mixes them up, incubates, and lo...you have exactly what you wanted, a mail order custom made life partner... That is the only way it is going to be possible these types do not come naturally, they have to be made specially... ..isn't it? And given the humanly impossible wishlist about lovers that I repeatedly see on the lists, I am certain there would be an ever ready market for the product. And of course, when the boyish becomes oldish, when the passionate dissipates, or the friendly sometimes becomes offended or angry (human traits, not wanted in the perfect lover you had custom made..) these customised perfections are going to be disposable as well, just take him back to the shop and recycle him, get another made, an upgraded and better model.

g_b ABC News - Evangelical Church Opens Doors Fully to Gays
[ABC News] http://abcnews.go.com/ Evangelical Church Opens Doors Fully to Gayshttp://abcnews.go.com/print?id=9383385 Evangelical church opens doors fully to gays - and learns the cost of being a renegade By ERIC GORSKI The Associated Press DENVER The auditorium lights turned low, the service begins with the familiar rhythms of church: children singing, hugs and handshakes of greeting, a plea for donations to fix the boiler. Then the 55-year-old pastor with spiked gray hair and blue jeans launches into his weekly welcome, a poem-like litany that includes the line queer or straight here, there's no hate here. The Rev. Mark Tidd initially used the word gay. But he changed it to queer because it's the preferred term of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people invited to participate fully at Highlands Church. Tidd is an outlaw pastor of sorts. His community, less than a year old, is an evangelical Christian church guided both by the Apostle's Creed and the belief that gay people can embrace their sexual orientation as God-given and seek fulfillment in committed same-sex relationships. Disagreements over homosexuality and the Bible have divided mainline Protestant churches for years. In evangelical churches, though, the majority view has held firm the Bible clearly condemns homosexual acts. The common refrain at evangelical churches: love the sinner, hate the sin. But with younger evangelicals and broader society showing greater acceptance of homosexuality, many evangelical churches can expect, at the least, a deeper exploration of the issue. Highlands Church represents a breakout position, where you have a gay-affirming stance that moves beyond the traditional kind of liberal-conservative divide, said Mark Achtemeier, an associate professor at University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, which is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). I'm finding lots of moderate conservatives just think there's something wrong with a default position of excluding gays from the life of the church. David Dockery, president of Union University, a Southern Baptist school in Jackson, Tenn., believes Highlands is and is likely to remain outside of the mainstream of evangelical churches. I don't think it can be taken for granted anymore that the traditional evangelical view will be adopted by the coming generations given the changes and shifts in our culture, Dockery said. That makes it all the more important, he says, for evangelical leaders to clearly teach the traditional views on homosexuality. The people of Highlands Church those who stood with their renegade pastor and others who left feeling betrayed have learned that taking an uncommon road comes at a cost. Craig Ellsworth grew up in an Assemblies of God church and has spent most of his life in evangelical churches. He was an administrative pastor at a large church for 10 years. But because Ellsworth is gay, he said he felt he could never fully be himself. While straight co-workers were encouraged to date and find partners, Ellsworth would risk losing his job if he did. There was what I was told in churches, and there was hearing God and knowing what I believe is true of God, said Ellsworth, 48, who is not in a relationship. The two didn't really line up. Ellsworth started attending Highlands Church last summer. I love being in a faith community that is loving and being Christlike to others without an agenda and without labels, said Ellsworth. Tidd said Highlands is not a one-issue church but one committed to social justice. He describes it as radically inclusive but still rooted in the essentials of the Gospel. The church discourages promiscuity and encourages healthy lifelong relationships. Tidd said he supports gay marriage and would perform same-sex blessings if asked. A gay man in a committed relationship sits on the church's board of trustees. Our position is not one of lenience, but a matter of justice, said Tidd, a married father of five. It's not that we don't acknowledge the reality of sin. It's not a sin to be gay or act in accordance with your nature. Tidd was raised a nominal Catholic in Boulder, Colo. He had a born-again Christian experience and joined the Jesus movement of the 1960s, which blended hippie culture and Christianity. Eventually Tidd was ordained in the Christian Reformed Church and shared its conservative position of homosexuality. His change of heart began when, as a pastor in Boulder, a distraught couple sought his counsel when their young daughter began identifying as a boy introducing Tidd to the transgender issue. He began to question applying the plain meaning of ancient Biblical text to here-and-now homosexuality. The Bible, read literally, suggests the earth is flat and could be used to justify slavery, he said. He accepted the Biblical interpretation of other gay-affirming Christians: that verses condemning homosexual behavior refer to idolatrous pagan worship or
g_b Another Cheer for Women's Rights
Dear All, Today (13 march 2010) the Delhi High Court directed that equal benefits should be extended to Lady Officers of the armed forces without discrimination. Hooray..!! This is excellent news. The only (ill)logic for discrimination against qualified women officers in the defense forces has been the patriarchist superiority complex of the male officers, and their fervent desire to preserve the promotion pyramid to their exclusive advantage. This judgment is a body blow to such irrational male hegemony, and creates a level playing field where the last cobweb of gender bias has been washed away from the armed forces. Their citadel of masculine privilege has no place in a modern, egalitarian, gender-equitable India. By saying that they do not want qualified lady officers to serve a full term of permanent commission, the males have only exhibited their cowardice and incompetence. Their loss in the High Court should be cheered by all...Excellent..!!
