There is one illustration of a dog in the Societies publication and that is in the Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained book. It shows a dog falling into a crevace at Armegeddon. So this answers the question once and for all. THERE WILL BE NO DOGS AND I PRESUME CATS IN THE NEW WORLD. Close this thread Simon

'Prepare for Banning' A HOAX! READ INSIDE
by ashitaka inmy friend called me last night and said that his mother heard a letter read on monday night at her congregation meeting that said that the rank and file should be prepared to be banned, to go underground, and persecution is coming soon, that halls would be taken, and such.
that these things are definitely coming soon.
could this be the spin that the wt is heading towards.....instead of facing the hard issues, make the issues the boogeyman and shut down the halls, giving the elders ultimate power?

From 2000 years ago..."Emergency Emergency a tyrants plea" Not much has changed in 2000 years. "Time to clamp down now that the persecution is coming." Give me a break.

Why Are the Democrats So Evil?
by cellomould ingeorge bush took advantage of your fears of 'big government' to get into office.... ...so are the democrats proponents of 'big government'?
do they love in-your-face politics?
do they want to give all of your hard-earned money away to good-for-nothing slobs?.

I see it as a racheting effect. First the rachet swings to the left, less of our own money. Then the rachet swings to the right, more police power. And then we get screwed into the ground. When ever either political party gets power it never reverses the damage done by the other. It's really a Right Left dumb show.

My first Post: Am I an ADULTERER?
by The Alchemist intoday i visited my jw mother and i asked her a question.
i said, "mom if i was to get married would i be disfellowshiped?
" she said "well since you didn't have scriptual grounds for your divorce i would guess that if you went ahead and got married you would be committing adultery.

Please tell me if this is a stretch. But aren't JW's spiritual adulterers? Haven't they broken the bonds of marriage first with their adultress affair with the Great Whore; "The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Jehovah's Witnesses." I remember unbelieving mates of new ones who were so jelous of their wives new found love. Of course this isn't a good counter argument to a J-Dub. I think they would go into shock if we pull tht one on them!

Good point SS. Wasn't the real issue in Jesus' day that wives would be divorced for the smallest reasons and out into the street they would go? Times change. So where did Jesus come up with his take on divorce? Who questions these things?

My ex-wife will never remarry because she gets too much almony from me. I do not care if I get DFed. I would like a good counter argument on that scripture. My mother is questioning things in regard to the "truth" and I would like to make her think there is more than just the simplistic JW teachings she has been fed. We have had a few conversations that have left her questioning WT teachings. She even had to ask the elders the meaning of a scripture that ran clearly counter to the WT.

Today I visited my JW mother and I asked her a question. I said, "Mom if I was to get married would I be disfellowshiped?" She said "Well since you didn't have scriptual grounds for your divorce I would guess that if you went ahead and got married you would be committing adultery." Of course we all know where that comes from, Jesus' own words to the effect that unless one divorces on the grounds of adultery he or she becomes an adulter when they marry another. My concern is not being disfellowshiped as I have left the JW's seven years ago and have no ties except my mother. My mother after all visits her children two of whom are disfellowshiped which she does on the sly. In this way my mother and I are alike in that we are careful in not letting the right hand know what the left hand is doing. What my mother nor any of my family knows is that I AM married to a wonderful woman, my second wife a non-JW for these past six months and I now have a 8 year old son. My concern is the interpretation of the scripture that all those who marry again are automatically an adulter/adultress. It's not guilt I have, but I would like to have is a good counter argument using JW "logic." I want to be ready. So what are your suggestions? Soon I want to introduce my new family.

Also gold seems to be on it's way up. Today it peaked at $324.80 per oz. It had been down to $251.00 when stocks and paper investments seemed perferable to gold ownership. The Central Banks have been slowly selling their gold reserves for years. They must have doubts about the economy or they would have taking advantage of these higher markets and dumped the metal. By doing this the price would fall. This has not happened. So I would think that the Central Bankers would agree with you Metatron.
