My namesake is Cornish, so I guess that makes me Cornish-American.

Should Jehovah Witnesses have Cats?

by RAS in

jw
friends

new light!.

there are numerous reasons why a loyal dedicated servant of god should use his bible-trained conscience to arrive at a proper understanding of why cats are not advisable as pets or companions for christians.

consider, then, the following facts: .

Your parody comes across as a straw man. I thought it was real. I live in an area with a large Muslim population and some schools of Islam forbid keeping dogs in the house so what with Jehovah's Witnesses being so extreme about some things what you wrote made me think it was really a Watchtower publication. You Got Me!

Raising Children in more than one language

by SonoftheTrinity in

i recently told my wife that i am speaking only in the jamaican dialect from now on in my house because she has failed to teach her children her native language because she has put religion first, manners and discipline second, their education third, and her native language somewhere at the bottom.

while i am not jamaican, nor have i been to jamaica i lived in a jamaican rastafarian community as a rastafarian.

i am now orthodox christian as are many rastafarians and i still consider myself culturally rastafarian but no longer identify with their heresies.

Zakharijah does she speak Broad Scots with her friends or is she growing up in a more English speaking community?

Serena Williams, has she peaked at 32

by designs in

serena got her earliest exit at wimbeldon.

still ranked #1.. for athletes at this level of play are the 30s where the wear and tear start showing.

seems with the french open and now wimbeldon there are a new young crop of top athletes beating the seasoned pros.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsox35ca1so.

This is my thing. I want the world to be my stepkids oyster so that they can rise as high as their dreams take them, so they can be a Serena Williams if they want to. I mentioned them because they were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses. But as a Stepdad its not my call, and I can't push them to achieve. Only challenge them to rebel. If I can't be the spiritual leader, I must be a spiritual trickster to steal my wife's legacy (her passing down the JW religion) from her just like Jacob did to Esau in order to save them. There is a kind of trickery that is righteous.

Give them a break. One thing any ex-JW must know is that freeing up is a process. If the JWs would free up I wouldn't have such a problem with them. Remember this is Minnesota. Maybe if they had kept it real and done Kingdom Song in a Happy Funtime Polka rhythm they might have come across as a little more genuine and they would have kept the rhythm better. The Bible talks about Spiritual man and Natural Man and Paul disparaged the Natural man, but music is where the Spiritual and the Natural become one, just as Christ's Divine and Human nature are one. The Kingdom songs as they are arranged are soulless which seems intentional as Jehovah's Witnesses don't have immortal souls like Jews, Muslims, and Christians. They are happy they will survive armageddon, and I am happy that I am superior to them because I have an immortal soul but they don't have immortal souls because they sold them to Witchtower for a bill of false promises that they spinned out of a bad translation. The no beard policy is proof positive that the don't really worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and that their men have no souls. I truly hope that Jehovah saves his people from their leadership and gives them their souls back from the devil who is clearly doing the worst cosmic copywrite violation of all time through the Witchtower Organization.

I recently told my wife that I am speaking only in the Jamaican Dialect from now on in my house because she has failed to teach her children her Native Language because she has put religion first, manners and discipline second, their education third, and her Native language somewhere at the bottom. While I am not Jamaican, nor have I been to Jamaica I lived in a Jamaican Rastafarian community as a Rastafarian. I am now Orthodox Christian as are many Rastafarians and I still consider myself culturally Rastafarian but no longer identify with their heresies. I don't chat Jafaican like some Brixton kid, I chat Jamaican Iyaric Patois, and now that the Bible has been translated into Jamaican (which makes it more of a language and less of a dialect) and available for free on the Bible.is app for both ipad and android I feel reenergized to speak it after all these years since I can't well speak the Jacobean register of the KJV around the house in more than little phrases. The dumbed down stilted and hypercorrected 4th grade Textbook English they use in the meetings (so that everybody can understand) and in all their social activities carries over to real life and is making my kids STUPID. If my wife isn't teaching them her native language I'm speaking only Patois around my house, because if a mans home is his kingdom, and as a mere figurehead king if I can't decide the state religion, this king can at least change the language, especially if the vocabulary is 3/4s the same as Standard English. I know that some people may say that I shouldn't speak a dialect because it might cripple their grammar, but they are already have good grammar at 9 and 10. I speak fluent Spanish, and I will probably also switch to only speaking Spanish if at some point either of them enrolls in it as long as that one is in it. What is it about Jehovah's Witnesses and using the acrolect ALL THE TIME? Its as if 'ain't' were as bad as the F word! As a polyglot, that offends me, and polyglots are smarter than grammar school teachers. As a polyglot I understand the power of language and the power it is exerting on my wife and children, vis-a-vis both worldly media and the Witchtower media and I'm doing something about it!

If you had the audience of the GB, what is your #1 question you would ask them?

by Darth Fader The Sequel in

there are a million of them and mine is by no means the most important question to ask them if i only had one shot at it.

but, i have always wondered what kind of bs excuse they would give as an answer to this question: "brother goober bum, given that there are both male and female partakers here on earth who claim to be of the 'anointed' and plan on being of the 144,000 ruling with christ in heaven for eternity........ why are the female 'anointed' treated as submissive, second class citizens and why is their opinion on doctrinal matters, matters of teaching and reproving, anything at all.... why are they not recognized while here on earth even though you claim that jesus has selected them to become angels to rule with him?

Yo Data Dog, them GBs ain't no Heebies! They were were not with him the first so they could not know him now! Them empty suits may be a puppet show, but Jah ain't they puppeteer! I ain't no conspiracy theorist thanks to snopes, but IMHO them name a Witchtower.

Why would the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob all of a sudden change his mind through the inspiration of Judge Rutherford for men to shave the beard. Is Judge Rutherford greater than Moses, Greater than All The Prophets Who Wore Beards? The Prophets of my Jah in my Bible were Dirty Jew Hippie rock and roll shock jocks who ripped their garments, writhed around in faeces, lady ninja courtesans who slew the enemy in his bedchamber, wise rapper kings who attracted countless concubines, and a dirty hippie God-Man who partied with whores and colonial agents, and then went all Commie Rude Boy on the moneychangers just to stick it to the Pharisees and then made himself the sacrifice to end all sacrifices of the cute little animals. And that doesn't mean I'm an antinomian. the 613 are the commentary, the ten are the guidelines, and the two commandments are JAH'S Royal Law. And Pauls teaching is scripture, but it sure doesn't trump the Torah or the Gospels! MY Savior IS A DIRTY JEW HIPPIE! So what kind of wimpy White Bread Square is your God to make all you empty suits break up families and destroy childhoods because you can't stand having to care for the welfare of the next Generation and realize that your old balls-sagging generation doesn't really matter in the greater scheme of Jah, like rational elders instead of apocalypse junkies? I guess that is more of a group of questions mixed up with an uncivil polemic.

To me, education is everything. My kids are being cheated. Church isn't a place to be scared shickless, its a place to read the King James Version so that you're ready to read Shakespeare by the time you're in High School, or a place to learn Greek or Hebrew and how to if that's you're background, or a place to learn music. The lack of a cultural element in the Jehovah's Witnesses is what shocks me. The Jehovah's Witnesses is a place to learn sales techniques. I was a telemarketer once upon a time and I hate salesmen!!!!!
