A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to
"Where do pets come from?"
Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us
every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here and it is
difficult for us to remember how much you love us."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be
with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that
you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or
childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you
are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his
tail.
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom
and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And God said, "No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a
reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name,
and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted.
And God was pleased.
And dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said,
"Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen
like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed
taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."
And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be
with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will
remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always
worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them.
And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they
were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't care one way or the other.

WOULD YOU PREACH TO A DOG???
by minimus inthis little gem is from the watchtower, january 15, 2000...."in el salvador,one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw jehovah's witnesses nearby.
the man would wait for the witnesses to move on, and then he would bring the dog back into the house.
the brothers were never able to speak to the man.

My sister told me about a friend of hers who gave her dog to another friend who was a JW. My sister asked if she were concerned that the dog may be converted. The friend replied "I hope not. He was a faithful Lutheran all while I had him."

How Many Here Have Been Shunned?
by Reborn2002 inas most of you already know, the jehovah's witnesses are covering an article in their august kingdom ministry to be discussed the weeks of 8/19 and 8/26 which details how they are to shun and avoid those who are no longer members of their organization, even immediate family members.. .
undoubtedly this article has been written to reinforce to the rank&file jehovah's witnesses the shunning policy, so as to tighten the ranks and prevent members from having the opportunity to learn the abundant contradictions and hypocrisies found within watchtower doctrine and practice from any who may have left.. this policy also serves to divide families and attempt to shame or abuse those whom have chosen to no longer be jehovah's witnesses, for whatever reason.. that much is obvious.
in recent days this topic has been discussed in detail in various threads.

I was shunned but I was fortunate in that I had no family what so ever in the borg, just my husband and nine year old son and they stood by me.
When we moved across the country, it was easy to leave it all behind, just the 'so called friends' and I don't miss a single one of them. It is such a joke that they talk about all the love they have among them.
I guess I had it easy compared to most.

Ah, but she was to wait on Jehovah. He will provide! Yeah, he sure came through for her all right. All the stories we heard at assemblies about people in need finding an envelope under the door with money in it, etc. Never happened to anyone I knew who was waiting and waiting and waiting on Jehovah.
I remember once when our car broke down soon after leaving the assembly in Madison Wisconsin. We stood on the side of the highway watching family after family from our congregation drive by. They all looked at us but not one slowed down or stopped to offer help. And this right after the great 4 day spiritual meal they had just had. At the following Thursday meeting they talked about how upbuild they were from the assembly. What hipocrites!
It was things like that that I filed away in my little memory folder. Finally it got so full I had to take it out and look at all the things that had accumulated and knew I could not live with it anymore.

Sister Dub's first visit to the gynecologist
by butalbee inat work last week, i was sitting in the break room doing some of my paperwork, there was a couple worldly girls sitting at a table--penny and lisa, then walked in sister tammie, and sat beside them.
i rolled my eyes as i normally do, for sister tammy is the dub of all dubs, always at the hall, always leaving awake rags all over the place, always looking for converts..... okay, i'm there trying to act inconspicuous, for sister tammie is a sister in law to my ex-dumb dub boyfriend, and well, i'm pretty much now satanic in nature to all in that particular congreg.
for what extremes i had to go to, to get him out of my life...but me easedropping on their conversation, at times is amusingly worth it.. "so, how did the doctor's appt.

Thewiz:
I think the problem here is that when we talk about something dumb that Jdubs have done, some can get the impression that we mean that it was done and it was dumb BECAUSE they were Jdubs. That is not the case. I have relatives who are dumber than any Jdub I ever knew. Let me see if I can think of a few.Hmmm. My husband's sister insisted that if a women does not douche after sex, she will get fat. She also said that if you don't dust your doors regularly you get worms in the house. When she got pregnant, she asked her father where the baby would come out. Now that I am talking about dumb things a relative said, does that mean I think all relatives are dumb? Well, yes, but that is besides the point.

The Wiz:
Cranberyy Juice is a known cure but you drink it!!! If you had ever looked at a picture of female anatomy you would know that douching has nothing to do with the bladder. And as far as it just being women who are stupid, her husband stood there agreeing with her.
You asked "who is the idiot now." It looks like you are.

There really are some real dumb Dub women (and men). I remember one who confided that she had a bladder infection but was taking care of it by douching with carnberry juice. Her husband was standing right there and put in his two cents worth about how that was the best cure. Made me wonder what other cures they used and where they used them.

Josephus:
I happen to agree with you. We had a miserable neighbor who we tolerated for about ten years. Arrests and restraining orders do little. If we had known someone who would have been happy to do the job, we would have had it done, too. As it was, we ended up selling our house and moving. One should not have to move because someone else can't behave in a civilized way. Calling the cops does not do much. You have to have 'proof' and even then when we finally had the person arrested, bail was made immediately and things picked up where they had left off within two hours.
I'm with you on this one.

A young man I know has chosen to not be a victim of the Borg. His mother was overheard discussing the situation with another "mature sister". Her explanation of his behavior? "He just does not know how to take direction". They take mind control and give it a new name and claim it is a desirable thing.
It made me think of how many times over the years I heard that term, "take direction", and all the other many terms they use. If they actually called it mind control, everyone would see them for what they are.
What Borg term bothered you the most, and what did it really mean?
