    According to my dictionary Light is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight.

    Not changing opinions, rules and ideas then.

    What's up with the heart condition? Must I be a coronary patient to find favor with Jevulva?

    Watchtower Jehovah's Witnesses must have a heart condition

    Year, day and time.

    They switch between 365 day years and 360 day years at random. Days are years when it's convenient. Time just means whatever the heck they want.

    Immediately: If the bible says Jesus did something 'immediately' it actually means 'weeks later'.

    And just this past thursday "The Cities of Israel" Was redefined to mean: Every individual person in the entire world.

    3. Why did Jesus say that his disciples would not complete their circuit of preaching “until the Son of man arrives”?

    (Matt. 10:23) [Jan. 14, w10 9/15 p. 10 par. 12; w87 8/1 p. 8 par. 6]
    Jesus was prophetically telling us that his disciples would not give a personal witness about God’s established Kingdom to every individual on the planet before Armageddon.

    Slave, as in "the faithful and discreet slave." How did "slave" come to mean "master"?

    They will say they are the head slave appointed by the master to look after his belongings....which includes you! Even if the head slave screws up now and again...he's got the masters best interest at heart.

    I don't believe "agape" is true love. All this is is you are supposed to love everyone, even your enemies (does joke-hova love Satan? I didn't think so.) This makes it easier for your enemies to enslave you and the whole human race, since everyone is going to go along with it under "agape". You don't protect yourself. You don't stand up for what is right. You are offended when someone makes a statement that puts down the perpetrators (yet, just as often you are against homosexuality practiced by consenting adults, reduce women as second-class, and condone slavery). Having this kind of love is stupidity, nothing more.

    They also change "truth". In reality, it would be better to say that we are unveiling more of the truth. However, they claim that the "truth" of yesterday was absolute. How can that be when they keep altering it? And they are just as likely to go back to an older doctrine. At least I don't hear "old truth" and "new truth" in Satanism. Instead, I hear "More of the truth". Old "truth" is simply incomplete, corrupt, and distorted. As the discrepencies are weeded out, more of the truth comes through. Still not the whole truth, still incomplete, still not infallible. But, more complete, less corrupt by Christi-SCAM-ity, and more usable. And no dogma about believing it or else--to me, that is the ultimate of stupidity within the religion. Believing and teaching a known bad doctrine until the leaders themselves fix it (or, just as likely, make it worse) is stupidity not found in Satanism.

    Probably enough to print a "New World Translation of the Holy Dictionary" at this point.

    "Christendom" used as a perjorative.

    "Study", to read, underline and recite.

    "Loving Provision", unbearable burden.

    "Reproach on Jehovah's Name", don't get caught doing anything that will make the congregation look bad. Never, ever sue us.
