" Dinosaurs"
I mean why didn't the bible cover it?
awhile a go i was uptight about a matter i can't remember now and my friend said to me " give the other side the victory".
a while ago my little boy was getting uptight and argumentative with his mum i asked him " to let it go" in effect i suppose " giving the other side the victory".
anyway i am sure our life exsperiences have allowed us both receive and give good advice.
I remeber a householder who said to me " God put you here on this earth to test my patience, now get out of here before i explode" In a way that was good advice in a way i didn't comprehend at the time.

11 haters of god and his people are to be hated, but this does not mean that we will take any opportunity of bringing physical hurt to them in a spirit of malice or spite, for both malice and spite belong to the devil, whereas pure hatred does not.
we must hate in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme and active aversion, to consider as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest.
Do Jehovers Witnesses and mainstream christians love their enemies? Well i remember how absurd it got for mainstream christians when they got women priests. I mean now they had priests of both sexes and this divided mainstream christians. As for the Witnesses i remember how they used this to elevate themsels above mainstream christians because of this new policy. ( Oh the love)
Maybe they missed the point that such pettiness is beyond the tolerance of those they wish to convert. So now we have priests of both sexes most people dont listen to.

Terry i am aware that many mainstream christians support the death penalty. I find that a bit ironic. Maybe it's because if we didn't have the death penalty we wouldn't have Easter ?
i've been sitting on this video awhile.
i finally put it together.
its a recording of one of the 2014 "school for christian couples" graduations.
My personal observation of most elders was that they behaved like small businessmen with little authority in a large organisation. I never really saw what i conciderd spiritual qualities.
there are a lot of topics about religiouse hatred, so on a personal level why do you find it difficult to love or like individuals?.

Leaving quietlry:-
That is a great post. I have come to realize that as a J.W everything is so superficial and judgemental. I have also come to enjoy pints in the pub:- both for the beer and the cast of charactors i have struck up conversations with. ( In my former congregation pubs were a no go)

Kind of off topic, but revisiting this thread and next to my O.P was advertistment " I HAVE A DREAM" A gospel story in concert. It then had the Swedish dates of the show. I wonder if the add appeard because of my O.P " love all the people?"
Maybe we have to great a love for tecnology and not enough love of people?
ancient and classical beliefs with similarities found in the bible.
ive been studying religions and beliefs lately and ive been noting all the similarities they have with the bible.
i havent even scratched the surface with my notes and im nowhere even near learning all of them but i think some of you might find what ive found so far interesting.
Been there Retro: kind of thought provoking isnt it !
saw my parents yesterday, and i brought up the subject of the jw.org signs with my mother.
her response blew me away.
"this is getting stupid".. what?
What do you think the new brand represents?

Jhine from a biblical perspective i think the greatest words i have ever read were " forgive them they know not what they do". They are the words which applied elevate people. Why let people make us hate? but its not easy with those bloody dog walkers leaving that mess about.
