JW Cartoons
by FinalFlame ini've recently watched the jw cartoons centered around teaching young kids the doctrines of this faith.
while i no longer practice any faith, i am well versed in this one.
i must say, these cartoons are in bad, bad taste.

FF,
As George Carlin said: "The only difference between religion and cults is how much real estate they have."

I want to be all my dog believes me to be ...
by compound complex ingreetings, pet owners and lovers:.
while i have no pets of my own, i do care for dogs and cats and have cared for bunnies and guinea pigs in the past.
i'm working on an essay with an 11-year-old student, and the subject is symbiotic relationships and how humans learn from their close interaction with animals.. here is a portion of the reference material under study:.

Rusty is my faithful companion. I really don't deserve him. He is still full of life, I couldn't have gotten through the last months without him. He is starting to get a stately amount of grey on his muzzle, so his age is but a guess since he was a rescue dog, and rescue me he did. I would guess around 11 years old now.
I will miss him when he is gone. He is the reason I continue to stay alive at times. His loyalty deserves mine. He is family!

THEY act like the ones who are hurt??!!
by stuckinarut2 init really amazes me when jws act like we are hurting them!.
many of us have found that if we stop associating with them for valid reasons, they act all upset and hurt that we would be "so cruel as to limit our association or cut them off".
i know of friends here on the forum who have been told by parents that they "will shun them if they leave jehovah" , and yet when the shoe is on the other foot and our awake friends shun them first, the parents cry and bemoan the situation and say how "cruel it is to deprive them of their company".

The lie that they are told to support their stance Is that disfellowshipping is a "loving provision." Loving provision MY ASS!

JW Christians Are Supposed to be Good, BUT.....
by OnTheWayOut inso, serving "the one true god" and being "in the truth" are supposed to make jw's better people.
they are bringing their "truth" to people and that probably makes them feel that they are good to "worldly" people.but they do it to "get their time in.
" they do it no longer in any life-saving mentality.

IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO LOOK GOOD THAN TO BE GOOD!
My sisters both live that to a tee. I hope they reap just what they have sown.

Most are deeded to the organization. They are trying to get them all under their control after the KH in Texas was taken over by the trustees on the deed to become a different church.
I forget the name of the town, but I am sure someone else will comment and fill in the blanks.

Cancer in Animals
by Normalfulla inwe were taught sickness and death is a result of the sin inherited from adam and eve, so why do animals get cancer?
they are supposedly still as big j intended, so therefore cancer is a creation by the big fella himself?.
just an exercise for one's who believe in the whole bible story thing.. (not me)... any others anomalies you can think of ?

Cart witnessing at the Toyota Grand Prix
by Dagney inpicture 185,000 people on the streets attending the biggest event in long beach.
there is a main downtown street which is the only way into the grand prix.
it’s chaos because it is not private property that can be contained; these are working boulevards with cars and people vying to get where they want to go.
