yeah … I remember Eddie. Always pretending he was not Eddie Haskell, from “Leave it to Beaver”.  When he grew up he became. LAPD cop, so he could still bully people around.

…. Just “rattling your chain” boyle, checking to see if you have a sense of humor ….

It’ simple math! 1.2.3.4. 1.) if Eduardo = Edward, then 2.) Albert = Alfred, and  3.) Edward = Alfred, and therefore 4.) Alfred Einstein was the Batman’s Butler! Seeee ?

In life, many people have thought I was retarded, because I talk so slow, and need others to talk slow for me.

I assemble each word into the picture puzzle both coming and going.

With ADD, it is a necessity, or I would be stupid. Or at the very least have a very distorted world view.

Who is(are) the one(s) doing more typing really?

For the past three years, I have only commented as “Pudgy”. Before that I only commented under my one previous Screen Name for about 10 or so years.

In that context I do not have multiple profiles.

I know you are not retarded, or stupid, by any means. You have a clearer world view than many people I've met.

@Pudgy I am just curious, why did you pick Satchel Pooch to be your profile image and not a different dog like Snoopy?

 

(Do you guys have a favorite Psalm? I have many. Two Psalms that I like are Psalm 38 and Psalm 44.)

 

Here is what they say:

 

Psalm 38

 

"O Jehovah, do not reprove me in your anger, 

Nor correct me in your wrath.  

For your arrows have pierced deep into me, 

And your hand presses down on me.  

My whole body is sick because of your indignation. 

There is no peace within my bones because of my sin. 

For my errors loom over my head; 

Like a heavy burden, they are too much for me to bear.  

My wounds stink and fester 

Because of my foolishness.  

I am distressed and extremely downcast; 

I walk around sad all day long.  

There is a burning within me; 

My whole body is sick.  

I have grown numb and become completely crushed; 

My anguished heart makes me groan aloud.  

O Jehovah, all my desires are before you, 

And my sighing is not hidden from you.  

My heart pounds, my strength is gone, 

And the light of my eyes has left me.  

My friends and my companions avoid me because of my plague, 

And my close acquaintances keep their distance.  

Those seeking my life set traps; 

Those trying to harm me speak of ruin; 

They mutter deception all day long.  

But like someone deaf, I would not listen; 

Like someone speechless, I would not open my mouth.  

I have become like a man who cannot hear, 

Whose mouth has nothing to say in defense.  

For on you, O Jehovah, I waited, 

And you answered me, O Jehovah my God.  

For I said: “May they not gloat over me 

Or exalt themselves over me if my foot slips. 

For I was ready to collapse, 

And my pain was always with me.  

I confessed my error; I was troubled by my sin. 

But my enemies are vigorous and mighty, 

Those hating me for no reason have become numerous.  

They repaid me with bad for good; 

They were resisting me for pursuing what is good.  

Do not abandon me, O Jehovah. 

O God, do not remain far away from me. 

Do hurry to help me, O Jehovah, my salvation."

 

Psalm 44

 

"O God, we have heard with our own ears, 

Our forefathers have recounted to us, 

The deeds you accomplished in their days, 

In the days of long ago.  

With your hand you drove away nations 

And settled our forefathers there.  

You crushed nations and drove them out.

It was not by their own sword that they took possession of the land, 

And their own arm did not bring them victory.  

Rather, it was by your right hand and your arm and the light of your face, 

For you took pleasure in them.  

You are my King, O God; 

Command complete victory for Jacob.  

By your power we will drive back our adversaries; 

In your name we will trample down those who rise up against us. 

For I do not trust in my bow, 

And my sword cannot save me. 

It was you who saved us from our adversaries, 

You who humiliated those who hate us.  

To God we will offer praise all day long, 

And we will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)  

But now you have cast us off and humiliated us, 

And you do not go out with our armies.  

You keep making us retreat from our adversary; 

Those who hate us take whatever they want.  

You hand us over to be devoured like sheep; 

You have scattered us among the nations.  

You sell your people for next to nothing; 

You make no profit from the sale.  

You make us a reproach to our neighbors, 

An object of ridicule and jeering to those all around us.  

You make us an object of scorn among the nations, 

Something for the peoples to shake their heads at. 

I feel humiliated all day long, 

And I am overwhelmed by my shame, 

On account of the sound of their taunts and insults, 

Because of our enemy who is taking revenge.  

All of this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten you, 

And we have not violated your covenant.  

Our heart has not deviated; 

Our footsteps do not stray from your path.  

But you have crushed us where the jackals dwell; 

You have covered us with deep shadow.  

If we have forgotten the name of our God 

Or if we spread out our hands in prayer to a foreign god, 

Will not God discover this?  

He is aware of the secrets of the heart. 

For your sake we are being put to death all day long; 

We have been accounted as sheep for slaughtering.  

Rouse yourself. 

Why do you keep sleeping, O Jehovah? 

Awake! Do not keep casting us off forever. 

Why do you hide your face? 

Why do you forget our affliction and our oppression? 

For we have been brought down to the dust; 

Our bodies are pressed to the ground.  

Rise up as our helper! 

Rescue us because of your loyal love."

Does this mean you have been reinstated as a Jehovah's witness?

 

Jehovah's never "disfellowshipped" me. Why would I need to be "reinstated" as His Kid? That's ridiculous.

I didn't know bearing witness included supporting apostates and the disfellowshiped. You sure have a strange way of thinking God approves of your method of witnessing, by Christ standards.

 

I am witnessing by Christ's standards. He supported the lepers and the disfellowshipped. The Pharisees even called him and apostate - that's why they killed him. He said his followers would be mislabeled in the same way.

How does, distorting the bible become your evidence? Just because you say, Lord! Lord! To the public, like the pharisees, doesn't mean anything.

 

I don't distort the Bible. You're right, it doesn't mean anything to say "Lord! Lord!" What matters is the heart. Jehovah can read my heart.

8 minutes ago, boyle said:

Many have praised Jehovah inaccurately. Does it really have meaning to God? Ask yourself that.

 

Jehovah knows the intentions of the heart. He knew when Paul in his mistaken zeal was intent on harassing true worshippers. Jehovah forgave Paul and ended up using him to help a lot of people.

…., viewed through the “Leave it to Beaver” Eddie Haskell lens … I find his ad homonym attacks, from whatever hydra head by whatever name he pops up from the whack-a-mole hole to insult, bully, and attempt to libel and demean others to be consistently and pathetically funny.… and he knows this.

That is why I am the prime target of his ire.

But hey …. That’s Entertainment!

You're a bad influence to me and to real JWs along with all the hypocrites in the closed club. But as tth once said, how dare you think I'm associated with James, lol! 😂

 

Good thing Jesus gave the advice to "put down the sword" (or the figurative smoking "gun")...

Bad company Minus the "sword" = Better Company 🙂

You’re just ticked off because your social emotional bank account is overdrawn and you keep trying to pass off that same old bad check with a half dozen false identities and everybody always recognizes you as the same old Wally McNasty, and refuses to cash it.

The facts show, over and over and over that YOU ARE  the scammer.

….. or would be, if other people were as stupid as you THINK they are.

…, whine, whine whine, deflect and obfuscate. And build arguments on false premises with lies and slander.

It is so painfully obvious to EVERYONE, except you.

…..  there is nothing more pathetic than a con man who is so bad at it that he is only able to completely deceive himself that his life is a total success, and everyone else is inferior to him, as you have demonstrated over and over and over ….

…… unsuccessfully.

Even your incessant whining that everybody  in both clubs wants to BAN YOU is a failure.

When EVERYBODY wants to ban you, OF COURSE it is THEY who are to blame.

You are a real piece of work.

…. But HEY! … that’s entertainment!

If it’s any consolation, if it’s your goal to make Jehovah’s Witnesses look petulant and insane … THAT you are good at.

    • An interesting concept, bible discipline. I am struck by the prevalence of ignorance about spiritual discipline on "Reddit." While physical and mental disciplines receive attention, the profound impact of spiritual discipline on a person's physical and mental well-being is often overlooked. Is it possible to argue against the words of the Apostle Paul? When he penned those words in Hebrews 12, he was recognizing that there are moments when an individual must be "rebuked" in order to be corrected. Even Jesus himself established a precedent when he rebuked Peter and referred to him as Satan for failing to comprehend what Jesus had already revealed to the apostles. Did that imply that Jesus had an evil heart? Not at all, it was quite the opposite; Jesus had a loving heart. His need to correct Peter actually showcased his genuine love for him. If he hadn't cared, he would have let Peter persist in his mistaken ways, leading to a fate similar to Judas'. There is a clear emphasis on avoiding the apostate translation and its meaning, yet many seem to overlook the biblical foundation for the reasons NOT to follow the path of the fallen brethren or those with an apostate mentality. Those individuals have embraced the path of darkness, where the illuminating power of light cannot penetrate, to avoid receiving the righteous discipline based on God's Bible teachings. They are undoubtedly aware that this undeniable truth of life must be disregarded in order to uphold their baseless justifications for the unjust act of shunning. Can anyone truly "force" someone or stop them from rejecting a friend or family member? Such a notion would be absurd, considering the fact that we all have the power of free will. If a Witness decides to distance themselves from a family member or friend simply because they have come out as gay, who is anyone within the organization to question or challenge that personal sentiment? It is unfortunate that there are individuals, both within and outside the organization, who not only lack a proper understanding of the Bible but also dare to suggest that God's discipline is barbaric. We must remember that personal choices should be respected, and it is not for others to judge or condemn someone based on their sexual orientation but should be avoided under biblical grounds. No one should have the power to compel an individual to change their sexual orientation, nor should anyone be forced to accept someone for who they are. When it comes to a family's desire to shield their children from external influences, who has the right to challenge the parents' decision? And if a family's rejection of others is based on cultural factors rather than religious beliefs, who can impose religious judgment on them? Who should true followers of Christ follow? The words of God or those who believe they can change God's laws to fit their lives? How can we apply the inspired words of Paul from God to embrace the reality of God's discipline? On the contrary, how can nonconformists expect to persuade those with a "worldview" that their religious beliefs are unacceptable by ostracizing individuals, when God condemns homosexuality? This is precisely why the arguments put forth by ex-witnesses are lacking in their pursuit of justice. When they employ misguided tactics, justice remains elusive as their arguments are either weak or inconsistent with biblical standards. Therefore, it is crucial to also comprehend Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9:27. The use of the word "shun" is being exaggerated and excessively condemned by those who reject biblical shunning as a form of punishment. Eph 5:3-14 NIV 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person — such a man is an idolater — has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.  6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.  8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible. The impact of the message becomes significantly stronger when we emphasize the importance of avoiding any association with unrighteousness and those who remain unrepentant. In fact, it becomes even more compelling when we witness how some individuals, who dismiss biblical shunning as a method of discipline, excessively criticize and condemn the use of the word "shun". Therefore, Jehovah's Witnesses do not shun people; instead, they choose to focus on the negative actions being committed, which is in accordance with biblical teachings. This should be construed as ex-Witness rhetoric. Now, let's consider why ex-Witnesses specifically target one particular religion. What justifications do they provide when other Christian denominations also adhere to the same principle grounded in the Bible? Chapter 1 - Preface Both must therefore test themselves: the one, if he is qualified to speak and leave behind him written records; the other, if he is in a right state to hear and read: as also some in the dispensation of the Eucharist, according to  custom enjoin that each one of the people individually should take his part. One's own conscience is best for choosing accurately or shunning. And its firm foundation is a right life, with suitable instruction. But the imitation of those who have already been proved, and who have led correct lives, is most excellent for the understanding and practice of the commandments. "So that whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup."  It therefore follows, that every one of those who undertake to promote the good of their neighbours, ought to consider whether he has betaken himself to teaching rashly and out of rivalry to any; if his communication of the word is out of vainglory; if the the only reward he reaps is the salvation of those who hear, and if he speaks not in order to win favour: if so, he who speaks by writings escapes the reproach of mercenary motives. "For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know," says the apostle, "nor a cloak of covetousness. God is witness. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome as the apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children."   (from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume 2) Divine promises 2. The manner of shunning, in the word escaping. There is a flying away required, and that quickly, as in the plague, or from a fire which hath almost burned us, or a flood that breaketh in upon us. We cannot soon enough escape from sin (Matt 3:7; Heb 6:18). No motion but flight becomes us in this case. Doctrine: That the great end and effect of the promises of the gospel is to make us partakers of the Divine nature. (from The Biblical Illustrator)  
    • Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."  
    • Nice little thread you’ve got going here, SciTech. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
    • It's truly disheartening when someone who is supposed to be a friend of the exclusive group resorts to using profanity in their comments, just like other members claiming to be witnesses. It's quite a ludicrous situation for the public to witness.  Yet, the "defense" of such a person, continues. 
    • No. However, I would appreciate if you do not reveal to all and sundry the secret meeting place of the closed club. (I do feel someone bad stomping on Sci’s little thread. But I see that has already happened.)
