    JH,

    Dammit JH! I can't hold it in any longer! Focus is apostate par excellence! Crap! Sorry Focus, I know you're trying to get folks to think, but I just couldn't help it!

    You had inadvertently misquoted me - I wrote "esc(h)atology", not "eschatology" (see the posting and the editing times), in case some readers did not understand French.

    Now scatological skills and inclinations come in very handy when imbibing the fine spiritual food at the appropriate time as purveyed by the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class.

    I depend on this forum for the latest scoop

    While on matters both scatological and scoop-related, I must say that I believe the Watchtower may issue a warning for Christians to use their Bible-trained Consciousnesses when determining whether or not to clean up any doggy-doo left in public places by their pets. A QFR is bound to arrive on this key issue in the near future, in line with the great tradition of dealing with vital issues of the moment (such as cannibalism, bridal showers, masturbation and blood transfusion for pets). From what I have heard, leaving the thing where it is deposited may be seen as a most fitting comment on Satan's world (provided one is not apprehended thereby bringing Jehovah's name into disrepute). The matter of disfellowshipping pets has already been covered in an earlier issue.

    PS: Do not tell anyone, but I think some of the lower class of posters here are laughing at us behind our backs. When Har-madogon comes, we shall see who is laughing and who is not! One apostate is trying to undermine my words of warning and is trying to make out that I am one of his ilk - what an absurd contention. My reference to HTTP://WWW.WATCHT0WER.0RG gives the lie to these unfruitful works of darkness (see Eph. 5:11).

    The forum recently instituted rules decrying ex post facto posting. I remind you that such pharts cannot be appreciated by the unwashed masses of onlookers, especially those sneering observers who fear you and I have gone over to the dark (Satan's) side.

    My points remain valid, especially the aromatic one, although it is a shame we can't appreciate odor through this electronic medium. Michael Todd, where are you when we need you?

    Focus,

    Thank you for the enlightening answer to Question from Readers. I had a hard time deciphering the actual date of this article, however.

    Additionally, cats practice many unclean habits not befitting a Christian
    household: coughing up fur balls, licking inappropriate body areas
    (inappropriate handling), urination on the floor, eating dead animals often
    with their blood, vocal promiscuity and widespread sexual misconduct
    without the benefit pr sanctity of matrimony, abuse of catnip (an
    intoxicating herb), stealing food from the table, and so on.
    What sort of
    example does this give our young ones endeavoring to faithfully serve
    Jehovah? The Bible clearly shows that 'neither fornicators .. nor thieves
    . nor drunkards .. will inherit the Kingdom.' (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)

    My son's two cats found a way to get to their Christmas gifts (hidden in a drawer) and got slobbery drunk on the catnip in their stockings. Twice.

    OMG - you guys are TOO FUNNY. I love cats - I have 4!!!! Although the article made me think, after quick prayerful consideration, I chose to keep my cats. Already, though, I can feel the spiritual weakness envelop me.

    On a serious note, I had a pioneer sister once tell me not to feed the cats CAT FOOD with by-products. I tried to argue that the "blood issue" only applied to humans... seemed ridiculous to me, and she told me to look it up. I did, and sure enough, it was in the bound volume. I don't remember where, but it blew me away. Now I only feed my cats scrambled eggs & catsup!

    ROTFL!!! ((((()))))

    and...

    vocal promiscuity

    What is that??? Is that like saying the F-word in cat or something?

    In the style of Ebenezer's final visitor ("A Christmas Carol"), I am Santa Claws, the ghost of Christmas yet to come - and so I can sometimes foretell that which is to be.

    My son's two cats found a way

    I have but one question. Were they Theocatic felines? If not, please take the matter to some apostate site.

    Please show proper respect for the words of Faithful and Discreet Slave (especially those formulated by Focus).

    I had a pioneer sister once tell me not to feed the cats CAT FOOD with by-products.

    Yes. That is covered in the second-quoted article - did you not read it? It is every bit as legitimate as the first one (and some fainthearted ones would say even more so), though I agree that the logic in the first-quoted article is far sounder.

    Here, I will repeat the words of wisdum from '64:
    "What, then, of animal food? May it be used if there is reason to believe
    there is blood in it? As far as a Christian is concerned, the answer is No,
    on the basis of principles already mentioned. Therefore, if a Christian
    discovers that blood components are listed on the label of a container of
    dog food or some other animal food, he could not conscientiously feed that
    product to any animal over which he has jurisdiction. He could not conclude
    that doing so would be excusable, for this would not be a case of an animal
    killing another animal and helping itself to the blood of that creature.
    No, this would be a direct act on the part of the Christian, making him
    responsible for feeding blood to a pet or other animal belonging to him. Of
    course, if there is no indication on the label of a package of animal food
    that the product contains blood, a Christian might conclude that it could
    be used. Still, his conscience might trouble him. In that case he should
    put his conscience to rest by making reasonable inquiry and acting in
    accord with the information he receives, for a Christian surely desires to
    have a good conscience before God. -1 Pet. 3:21.
    "

    I don't remember where, but it blew me away.

    That is most disrespectful toward your hard-working brothers in Crooklyn who slave away to bring you such pearls... Are you displaying the right heart-attitude?

    Now I only feed my cats scrambled eggs & catsup!

    Personally, and in the style of my cousin Leo, I prefer being fed sanctimonious "Christians": I resent the bad press we have got over what happened in the arenas back then.

    Please explain why you find this matter funny. I certainly do NOT.

    You appear to be displaying the fruits of independent thinking, Sister. Have you thought where that leads? See Rev. 22.

    and... vocal promiscuity

    I had a quick word with the guy from the Writing Department, and he said that what was meant
    was:
    caterwaul
    which means to cry or screech like a cat in heat, prior to the feline gang bang.

    I really must counsel any committed Christian against any involvement with Pussies.
