    JWs who come here

    i find it curious when jws come here.

    i would not want to go into any room or place and debate people who knew much more than i do, yet they do it.

    i guess the scripture, "pride goes before a fall" fits people like this.

    I think they are curious, looking for conformation that we are wrong afteral, defending their viewpoint etc etc. Surprise surprise most of us had solid reasons to l;eave and are not afraid to debate them. We should however keep our goal in mind: to inform them. We are not here to de-convert them. We should inform them. Then when they can see both sides the choice is up to them. It doesn't really matter whether they leave or stay. At least our goal has then been accomplished: their choice has become an informed one. And that's what counts.

    So don't jump on SOJ or Scooby as soon as they show their faces. They have made an informed choice at least, something most JW's are deprived off.

    New here.. Scoobys cat and I'm confused...

    i'm "cooking fat" (at least my name sounds like that when he calls me in) scooby's cat, and whilst scoobs is away at the meeting,(you wouldn't see me dead in there) i thought i'd grab the chance to post in his absence.

    my problem is that he insists on feeding me kit-e-kat, when what i really want is whiskers supermeat.

    he reckons that only apostates feed their cats whiskers in this time of the end.... and i can't think why.

    Hi C_F!

    You are one smart cat using the internet and all...about your problem:

    you see Scoobs insists on feeding me Kit-e-Kat when what I really want is Whiskas Supermeat, apparently Scoobs says that Whiskas is apostate and food of the devil in this time of the end.

    Don't try to argue this one. Whiskas is not apostate, just expensive. So the solution is to make it absolutely the only possible choice. Fake an allergy to Kit-e-Kat: when presented with it take a few bites then go into a wild coughing frenzy, run around the house like you're barking mad, climb the curtains and atack the plants, then suddenly, fall down lie on your back with your feet up. Repeat until presented with better food. (you didn't got this advice from me. This conversation never happened. happy hunting!)

    scoobs is at the meeting (wouldn't catch me dead there) and i thought i'd make use of the opportunity to tell you my problem...... you see scoobs insists on feeding me kit-e-kat when what i really want is whiskas supermeat, apparently scoobs says that whiskas is apostate and food of the devil in this time of the end.

    i've purred, meaowwed and done my best to change his view, but he's having none of it.
