should christains own cats?

by unstopableravens in

is it appropriate for a christian to own a cat, in light of their past pagan religious affiliation and the medical information that is now coming to light?

it would be misleading to answer this question with either a simple yes or a no.

the scriptural answer of necessity must be a qualified one, and it is easy to see why.

1) one must look at the third definition of the ancient Greek word for CAT and the fifth definition of the ancient Hebrew word for CAT see that the 3 letters C-A-T form a Trinity of letters. (Please ignore the fact that the word GOD also has 3 letters and also forms a Trinity of letters.)

2) CAT was not used in bloody animal sacrifices to apease Jehovah so CATS must not be very usefull.

3) JW's cannot own a whole CAT; BUT(if your conscience allows), you can own fractions of a CAT.---Just saying!

Can Spirit-Directed Organization Lie?

by abiather in

when god says something, it is like the meaning of traffic signal: red light means always stop.. when spirit-directed organization says something, it is like shining ever brighter till the full light of day, (proverb 4:18) and then it becomes dimmer and dimmer and at the end of the day darker and darkest, .

thus red lights meaning becomes start!.

yes, a spirit-directed organization can lie.

eyeuse2badub

To answer the question, We first have to truly know if a "spirit-directed organization" even exists. Many claim to be "spirit-directed" but non can prove to be "spirit- directed". So, until we know for sure that there is such a thing as a "spirit-directed organization", we can't know if it can lie! Confused? Sorry, it's my JW illogic kicking in. Just saying!

Does this Site get more Newbies than WTS gets Baptisms?

by skeeter1 in

jw
friends

just wondering on whether jwn gets more newbies that the wts gets bapstisms?

are there any statistics?.

this site's newbies usually lurk for a month or two, with no interaction with us.

eyeuse2badub

Don't know if this site gets more Newbies than the WTS gets baptisms but the serious posters definitely make much more sense than the WTS. Just saying!

The Definition of Insanity: LOYALTY TO THE GOVERNING BODY

by Terry in

the definition of insanity boils down to expecting success by repeating actions which cause failure.. .

jehovah's witnesses are expected to prove their loyalty to the organization by believing and practicing what they are told.. does this lead to success or failure?.

ask the thousands of loyal believers who were led to expect armageddon in 1914, 1925, 1975!.

Do you look like the apostate they warned you about?

by Angus Beef in

after waking up and wanting to get out of this nightmare, the word apostate is really bothering me.

if i quitely become inactive, fade away will i just be looked at as "always weak".

i want to scream out how big a fool i was.. and now telling my poor young daughter how wrong i was to bring her up as a jw.

eyeuse2badub

"Apostates" is the new WTBTS's fear-inspiring term to scare the sh---t out of dubs. Remember when "evil slave" was the fear-inspiring term? What ever happened to the "evil slave"? O, I remember------that vile "evil slave" is JUST FIGURATIVE now in JW dom. Just saying!

LOL, this will freak you out

by transhuman68 in

jw
friends

ive been cruising the net in search of the meaning of life (lol- as if!

) and came across this amazing piece of writing that i think puts everything in perspective... .

at first, when you really get that nothing matters at all it's very depressing.

Bob_NC and LisaRose;

I agree that all liberated ex-JW's and wanna be ex-JW's need to start their life NOW. We have all put our lives on hold, so to speak, for decades. Being a JW was all bad but it certainly limited our exposure to "the real life" which is REAL LIFE. So many that I know put their own personal goals and aspirations 'on hold' because of the WTBTS's mind control which had us in the 'new system' by now.

Personally, I excelled in sports all the way up through high school and many of my coaches thought that I as least had a chance at a major baseball league careeer. I'll never know since, like all good dubs, I put the (WTBTS) 'kingdom first'. I know sisters that started pioneering and 'put off' marriage and children, 'for the sake of the good news'. They are now in their 60's and inwardly bitter.

I'm with Bob_NC; "FIND JOY ALONG THE WAY, I NOW SAY" So for me now I live to drink wine with friends, eat fine food, love my family of kids, grandkids, brothers and sisters, and wish well to all people.

If you are now free from the mental, emotional, and psychological grip of the WTBTS, you should tell your loved ones that you love them UNCONDITIONALLY. It's like a dream come true for the many of us who have pretty much spent our lives being good dubs As a great man once said; " I had a dream..........Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty we're free at last!" Just saying

Christmas presents--"We get things all year"??

by WTWizard in

i have heard that line of rubbish more times from the platform, especially around this time of year.

yet, given the number of children with few or no toys, about 90% of the time, they get little or nothing year round.

sometimes it is because of poverty, often induced because the parents are supposed to cut back on their work and pious-sneer or donate excessive amounts to the worldwide pedophile defense fund (or both).

eyeuse2badub

WOW! The cliches that we JW's used to throw out there to cover over our 'real' feelings. I guess if something is repeated enough, it becomes "TRUTH". (tm) Just saying!

ohio woman thanks lawyer for saving her life 36 years ago by douglas stanglin, usa todayupdated 2012-03-27 9:29 amflorida attorney joel cohen says the e-mail he recently got from carolynn ivey "raised the hair on my neck.

" the last time she was a part of cohen's life, carolynn ivey weighed less than 2 pounds and desperately needed a lifesaving blood transfusion despite the religious objections of her parents.. cohen, then a young pensacola attorney, was tapped by the escambia county circuit court to become temporary guardian to give legal consent for the transfusions for carolynn and her twin sister, julia, the pensacola news journal reports.

Several years back, when I was already starting my fade, my wife and I hosted lunch for our substitute CO and his wife. He and his wife, both born-in JWs were in their 40's. They were a very nice, warm, and enjoyable couple and they really enjoyed all the children in our congregation. They, however, had 'put off' having children "for the sake of Lord". During lunch, the conversation turned to their upbringing as JWs. The brother related a story of how his best friend's son had been in an auto accident and lost a significant amount of blood. As the story went on, both he and his wife mentioned that the only thing that saved the boy's life was a court ordered blood transfusion. It kind of blew me away that they both he and his wife would admit such a thing since it "violates" WTBTS company policy! I'm pretty sure that this brother had picked up on my attitude toward 'da TRUTH' and I think that he and his wife were sort of letting me know that they also had seen ttatt. I wonder if he is still a dub?

Does the GB Call God a Liar?

by TTATTelder in

is the governing body defaming god's name?.

doesn't the claim to be "spirit-directed" and to be "jehovah's organization", to only turn around and spread falsehood (aka old light), actually indirectly call god a liar?.

How does the preaching work 'glorify' Jehovah name when we have been preaching the un-TRUTH for 7 or 8 decades? This org is an embarrasement to those who loyally supported it for decades. Just saying!
