Regret
by elder-schmelder ingen 6:7. so jehovah said: i am going to wipe men whom i have created off the surface of the ground, from man to domestic animal, to moving animal and to flying creature of the heavens, because i do regret that i have made them.
8 but noah found favor in the eyes of jehovah.. .
does he still regret making us, or did he change his mind and now he is happy?.

Wolf, sheep - or sheepdog?

honor never grows old, and honor rejoices the heart of age.
it does so because honor is, finally, about defending those noble and worthy things that deserve defending, even if it comes at a high cost.

SBF, some people rely on the sacrifices of OTHERS to secure the freedoms they enjoy. They pretend their imaginary friends have granted the those freedoms thru some kind of "Magic Spirit."
It is similar to the way Jehovah's Witnesses depend on the blood of "worldly people" to provide the "blood fractions" they consume.

In some european and former soviet countris, insurance companies prefer "photographic evidence" so that they can make an objective determination of liability in the event of an accident.
The digital video cameras are installed so that they are on whenever the car is being driven. Easily removable solid state storage makes it relatively simple to transfer the video to your laptop and from there put it up for all to see.
I think these cameras are a GREAT idea, because the can also sometimes be useful in providing evidence for non-vehicular crime or purely entertaining purposes.
We will probably see them becoming more popular in US vehicles.

So you feel the entire metaphor is moot? It was not intended to be a discussion of farm dogs.
I am grateful that some could discern the deeper meaning of the essay I quoted in the opening post.
How do you feel about the discussion of animal husbandry that famous tale "Animal Farm"? Any tips on the care and breeding of swine?

*lost*, I see that your reply to my request that you answer your own questions is remarkably thin on details, but that is probably just because you have no more substantial detail to provide, and you have been requested to dial-down the amount of invective*, cursing and swearing in your posts, so you have nothing to say. I'm wondering if you had to extrapolate your origins to your Neandertal tribes of 115,000 years ago to form a base for your claim to come from a 'Tribal' culture. What was it like to hunt prehistoric mammoths? Can you knap flint?
*I'll give you some time to get your dictionary, if you own one.

Self-made Persecution?
by Tech49 inat the recent dc, we had the 1 hour drama on sunday that focused on trusting in jehovah, no matter what events come up.
in the opening scene, we see a father watching a news broadcast on tv, and he learns that jw's have been banned, overnight.. this got me thinking, again.
almost weekly, we hear about persecution coming, soon soon soon!

Tech49 reports:

This is precisely the same fantasy they were spewing in the 1960s. They have a pathological psychology that needs for them to be THE MOST IMPORTANT RELIGION IN THE WORLD. They are mentally diseased.
