September 2023 brings a “global campaign” for the Jehovah’s Witnesses

[Pudgy]

The difference between my ad hominem attacks on you, and your ad hominem  attacks on me,  is it that mine are based on solid established facts, usually proven by your own words, over and over and over again …… and yours are based solely on your opinions, which are goofier than the Disney dog Goofy.

[Pudgy]

As I have proven over and over and over, year after year, your attacks on me are ONLY your opinion, and also as I have proven, many times with your own words used against you, are slanderous lies.

What audience are you playing to, anyway?

There is probably not ten people following this debate. 

[Pudgy]

…. and except for your sock puppets, NONE  of them like you ….

[Pudgy]

And yet …. HERE YOU ARE !

HahahaHAHaa !

It’s a sad day of tears in our house tonite, Barkey our 16 year old little chihuahua, who had cataracts and eye ulcers, and only three teeth, and has been really sick for two months, has died.

I know there is no scriptural basis for it, but I pray to Jehovah to remember him, and show mercy for this little dog, when our loved ones are resurrected.

He was a very mild tempered and affectionate member of our family

Tomorrow I will build a wooden funeral pyre in the front yard for him.

The Universe is big enough for many “Rainbow Bridges”.

I hope and pray that Jehovah will entertain the idea.

Oops …. 2007 - 2023.

My condolences.

… DUH !

Someone who tends to clutter a conversation with self-evident facts and unnecessary verbosity might be described using words like:

1. Pedantic
2. Verbose
3. Redundant
4. Long-winded
5. Circumlocutory
6. Prolix
7. Wordy
8. Repetitive
9. Rambling
10. Tautological

These words emphasize various aspects of someone's communication style that involves excessive or unnecessary elaboration on self-evident points.

Too much of that makes you want to scream and run down the hallway with your hair on fire, just to ease the pain.

I don't know enough about the human psyche to be qualified to explain human actions. But I dare to say that sometimes we are "strange" in our reactions.
On the one hand, it's nice to see that someone has empathy for another when that person is going through a difficult period. Even if it referred to animals which, according to the Bible, are goods that man can manage as he pleases. Even though people/slaves and servants were goods, they had a bad status and some treated them in the past and today even worse than animals.

When someone who declares himself a JW shows humanity towards a person he considers and labels as an enemy, an apostate and other bad attributes, then one has to think a little. What is it that moves a JW to compassion because someone like Pudgy lost a dog, while on the other hand dismissing the suffering of the many human victims of CSA by members of his religion and dismissing the responsibility of the WTJWorg institution for covering up that evil and suffering, not only from their own brothers and sisters but also from the authorities who "were tasked by God to carry the sword" and punish the perpetrators of crimes. The task of punishing not only the "godless" but also the "true servants of God" who are lawless.
I think that the GB leadership (together with the congregational elders, most of them) has long since become too immersed in the imaginary role of "kings and judges", so they forget that they have unjustifiably gone beyond the scope of mortals, which they actually are, and placed themselves above other mortals.

They (GB) instill this sense of too much importance in JW followers as well, so most of them lose their natural sense of "love" and "human affection" that should be beyond the control of GB.

I have been disfellowshipped twice in my life, the latest I initiated, and it was quite the experience to see family and friends cut “love” off,  and back on, and back off again, like a light switch.

I have come to believe, by actual real life test, not some theory, is that “love” that can do that …. isn’t.

Of course, such fantasies are sometimes useful, so we don’t drown our ugly children at birth.

Or what?
