If you think the sheep and goats get a bum rap, what about pigs? Jesus chases them off a cliff .... and not as a parable. Mark 5:11-13. What do pigs do wrong?

Sheep and Goats
by ctrwtf ini'm lucky enough to live in a part of the us that many would call "pastoral.
" true to the label, i pass a small farm on the way to talking my daughter to school each day.
the other day i notice the owners had their small flock of sheep out to pasture along witha black goat.. for some reason i had a flashback to all the references the society uses re sheep, other sheep, sheeplike and goatlike etc.

This sort of bickering between to opposing egos...
I have never seen it as that. That is how Cedars has portrayed it, but is it really like that?
This wasn't the first time Cedars took criticism as a personal attack on his character and forgot we are all on the same side.
As for why the current public spat on this topic, you only have to read the OP.....

Murphy's Law isn't it?
Every time you forget to navigate your phone out of JWN, a Dub will be looking over your shoulder when you turn it on.
Cousin SuperDub walks in when you have your jukebox on random and it just happens that Brother Sir Nutcase is about to announce that you had better be alive in '75.

How would elders react if I tell them that I would accept blood?
by Daniel1555 injust recently i explained to my parents and my wife in detail, why i would accept blood or red, white blood cells, platelets or plasma in a medical emergency.
i showed them the inconsistencies and flaws about blood fractions and also the biblical reasons that show clearly that jehovah and jesus do not want a jehovah's witness to die because of that wrong doctrine.. my parents reacted surprised.
they are both about 50 years in the "truth.

Elders are not your friends. There are no good reasons to tell them anything cult related.

1970 Awake Chastises Catholic Church For Its "New Light"
by Justitia Themis ineven in the united states, where religion still enjoys perhaps the greatest popularity, nearly three out of four persons polled said that it is losing influence.
one of the reasons is that people are disturbed by what is happening in their churches.
yes, millions of persons have been shocked to learn that things they were taught as being vital for salvation are now considered by their church to be wrong.

They had aother bash at them in the 1984 April Fools Day WT
Page 23
At the beginning of 1973 I subscribed to a number of religious magazines, including some that criticized the Roman Catholic Church and its teachings. Now certain inconsistencies became ever more evident to me. For example, at one time eating meat on Friday was forbidden. When this church teaching was changed, I thought: ‘According to that teaching, those who ate meat on Friday committed a mortal sin. For a mortal sin, one can be punished with hellfire—an irreversible punishment. But if in hell there are some who did not repent for eating meat on Friday, what will they think now?’
