Why do animals suffer?
I asked my Father this question. He was unable to answer me. This has been my experience throughout my life. JWs do not have the answers to my questions. And they wonder why I'm not a JW.

38Why do animals suffer?
by nicolaou inbonnie is fourteen years old now and she's still fit and active, but she sleeps (and farts) a lot more and is definitely slowing down.. she loves us in her own dumb way and always comes to the door to greet me when i get home from work.
she doesn't 'sin' but yeah, she'll steal biscuits and feel shame afterwards.
she's loyal and intelligent and i dread the day when .

Being positively recognized
by menrov inhi, for over a year, i stopped attending meeting and field service.

but i did not stop reading and doing my own research.

menrov, excellent topic. Basically, you are returning to your authentic self and it is wonderful.
What I observed with my parents who became zealous was the opposite. They used to be kind and loving people and once baptized, became mean-spirited, holier-than-thou. This is what happens when you believe you are God's Chosen. Elevating oneself above everyone else is not a good thing.
Conversely, when you realize you are no more special than anyone else, your authentic self returns and comes forward.
This is happening now with my Father since he became ill with dementia. He no longer remembers much, if anything at all about the JWs. And everyone at the nursing home says he is a really nice guy. Yes, his authentic self has returned. Yay!

a hopeful prediction
by grumblecakes inaloha all,.
at the close of the year, i reflect on what hasoccurred and what i hope to occur.
despite the various speculations regarding the wealth or lack thereof of the cult that unfortunately impacts us all to various degrees, we can all see clearly a downward trend.

The X-Mas thing...
by punkofnice inchristmas means nothing to me.
i have no abiding, cosy, childhood memories of it.. i don't buy presents or cards....i have to be reminded.. i feel a bit weird.

I wish people "Happy Yule". This is the pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice and that is real. And after all that's where Christmas was adopted/adapted from.
I love the lights and decorations this time of year. We have people in our area that set the lights in rhythm with certain radio stations playing Christmas music. I will be at my friends' house for Christmas dinner. I will visit my Dad in the nursing home Christmas day. And I will give him a gift. He has no clue anymore.

Wow! Very well done.
See how they just turn and go? They don't want to engage and I would suspect they have labelled you apostate. Let's see if they return. My bet is they won't. JWs cannot handle the real truth.
Mince pie? Yum!

Are Magicians Spawns of Satan the Devil?
by Cold Steel ini was perusing the internet not long ago and came upon this series of videos by a guy calling himself xendrius.
it declares that many of today's best magicians are in league with the devil.
his claims are based on his observation that the tricks would be impossible to do unless the magicians had made unholy pacts with the devil.. so what's the take of the wtbts?

Magicians are masters of illusion... and nothing more. They are entertainers that use many innovative techniques to trick the human eye. Google it. Don't listen to religious zealots. They are the ones with the agenda. -

I actually know it's 100% not the truth. Their ever changing doctrines are proof of this along with their damaging/destructive beliefs.do you 100% believe it is not the truth.
