Thanks, Avishai!!!! Great information about a great breed!! I wish people understood this breed more, they are awesome dogs! The media has done much to harm their reputation and the people constantly buy into the hype and misinformation. Any dog can become aggressive when it is poorly socialized, starved, chained and neglected. This breed seems to be magnet for all the thugs in this world and they suffer for it greatly. Having said that, they are my favorite breed of all time and I know many, many pits including owning two myself.

Protesting and Demonstrating at District Convention
by jabberwock inhas anyone who has attended a district convention this year seen any protestors or demonstrators?.

These demonstrations are a pure waste of time. I took delight in snubbing "apostates" at DC and felt even more righteous for doing so. I loved to walk past them and deliberately didn't make eye contact just to show them "I'm not hearing you!" Ugh! I am so glad those dark days are over!

Jehovah Knows in Advance His People Will Fail - July 1 09 WT
by Hopscotch inin this public edition of the watchtower it uses an illustration of a piece of furniture to help explain why jehovah tolerated polygamy.. but the more interesting point i thought was the reasoning in the first paragraph in the second column about jehovah warning his people when they strayed from his standards.
it says "however, he knew in advance that his people would often fail to obey even the most basic of commands, such as the one against idolatry.
(exodus 32:9).

I reallly am laughing out loud. This is too funny.....of course, there was a time when I would have obediently nodded and fully agreed with this lame article. But the part about tolerating a piece of furniture used to compare his tolerance with pologmy....this is priceless!

The story of Jesus and the Egyptian god Horus
by quinnsmom indoes anyone know anything about the story of horus and the similarities with jesus and his life story.
from what i have read on the internet (trying to stay with valid sources) and can't deny the similarities.
has anyone studied this situation?

That is an interesting question since I was a witness for 20+ years and never thought I would ever leave. I am now a fader (beleive it or not that is a terrm I just learned a few months ago). My faith is still under reconstruction as I really don't know what I believe anymore. I had been spoon fed spiritually for so long that I am only now developing my own personal spiritual belief system. I just thought Jesus and Jehovah would still be central figures in whatever I believed. To think that Jesus was just a legend is really hard for me to process at the moment.

There are other legends besides Horus that are similiar to Jesus and long before Jesus was born that lead me to believe that the story of Jesus could just be another ancient tale? I can hardly beleive that I am writing this as I have believed in Jesus my whole life and pray to him on a regular basis. What's the deal?
