Of all the sad stories that come from having been ensnared by the WTS cult, Mouthy's is one of the saddest. But I love her because of her strength and humor.
Glad you're back, Mouthy.

Pets are false gods
by Rattigan350 ini"m listening to the 2013 dc green bay saturday talk on false gods.. the speaker says no one would knowingly worship false deities.
but could we inadvertantly give jehovah less than exclusive devotion he deserves.. he said:you have not allowed this deception power of sin to sensual desires, material comforts, pets, technology, entertainment or food to become objects of devotion to you.. anything that interferes with our spiriutal routine has the power of eroding or weaking our relationship with jehovah.. .
my dogs can erode my relationship with jehovah.

From Blondie's post:
"While perhaps rare, cases are reported of persons who let their pet animal sit at the meal table with them and eat from a plate with the human members of the household."
My parrots and parakeets didn't just eat from a plate at the dinner table; they ate from MY plate. Birds love nothing better than stealing a snack from someone else. I deliberately placed diced healthy (for birds) food on the edge of my plate for them to nibble on. Sometimes it was the only way to get healthy food into them.
My birds, past and present, have been the best companions I could ask for -- loving, intelligent, and amusing friends. I like them more than I like most human beings.

cofty: " Says the man in his magic underpants who believes in the comically stupid magic book magically translated from gold plates that magically disappeared. "
I didn't bring up the gold plates this time, Cold Steel. It was someone else from your "pantin' public." Don't blame me!
But since we're on the topic, does your survival bag (BTW, an idea that I think hurts the Almighty's feelings) include magic underwear?

No one ever takes God's side when discussing topics like this.
Poor misunderstood puppy.

From yadda's excerpt from "YCLFIPOE" book:
" What was Nebuchadnezzar's condition when the tree was at it's majestic height before it was cut down? He was a glorious king. Likewise the tree stump could not represent Jesus as a glorious king until it has regrown to the state of a glorious, heaven-high tree again. "
So what's Jesus doing until the "tree" grows up?
Chomping on heavenly grass, of course!
Dude .......... !!!!!!

Levi -- but only because I once knew a yellow-naped Amazon parrot by that name. He liked to say, "Here, kitty, kitty." We had a great rapport.

When did people of the Great Crowd start to appear?
by wizzstick inquick question, faithful followers of our treacherous hearts... .
i should know the answer to this but.... so the great crowd class were identified in 1935, but does the wt suggest when it's members first appeared on earth?
all first century christians were of the annointed (i think that's right), so when do they think the first of the great crowd rolled up?.

The Great Crowd started to appear when they heard someone was handing out free bread and fish.
