    Dmitar spends so much time and effort here, I highly doubt he has anything else going on in his life. This is probably his “last hurrah!”, of a person absolutely terrified of dying alone and unremembered.…. just a guess.

    Peter is NOT the rock or head of the church/ congregation. So I will kindly correct you.  Jesus was referring to himself when he said those words.... . Yes, Peter was like a rock when he stood up in the assembly when the Holy Spirit anointed them (Acts 2) and spoke about  how Jehovah had prophesied about the gifts of the Spirit. Peter acted like a rock when he also referred to the other promises of jehovah on this day of pentecost.   Peter did not even become the spokes-person of the Governing body - James was.
    This is a Catholic teaching that Peter is the rock of the church. As far as I know Peter was sent out to the Jews (not gentiles) and Paul was sent out to the gentiles. Peter wrote his 2 letters in the diaspora of Babylon.

    Observe how sensitive you are to any form of correction... then you call me  nasty..... but you revile others. I will not stand for you to treat other people like a bully  without showing you up for your behaviour. I am prepared to apologise when I am wrong...and . you will do well to learn some "humane" skills. You could become a skilful teacher..... but as jehovah says: the beginning of wisdom is the fear of jehovah. .

    Maybe you did not use the right words or you had it wrong. He is not God. ...... to give you such a severe judgment and treat you as if you intentionally mislead people is wrong. We are all learners here and we do not know everything and we have not all thought things  through.
    I have had experience in writing so I try to express myself well but I have become a bit careless.   (English is not my first language and my eyes are bad.... and for that matter I forget names - and he is not thoughtful of any of these failings.... in fact he reminds me of another very nasty ex-witness we had on here before. )
      He  has been wrong on many occasions (even if he does not think so)... and I have never seen him apologise so humbly as you did.  Any kind  correction of his "mistakes" allows him to call us all kinds of names and revile us.  This blog does not belong to him and I say again: he is not God although he acts and talks  like one.

    Can you give scriptural backing for this statement ?   I think animals are meant to eat each other. I don't believe they will all eat grass in the New world.

    During periods of extreme famine in China, the Chinese people would eat dirt.
    However, I would not characterize them as dirt eaters, normally.

    You are obviously getting your theology from the movie “The Lion King”, or Disney cartoons, where they dance and sing, and there is an orchestra in the background.
    Ever look at the teeth of a T-Rex?
    or the teeth of a shark?

    When you make statements like this, you lose credibility for your previous statements, at least among all of us who have seen the great joy animals have playing with each other and living their lives.
    I suggest you go to a store someplace where there is a box of puppies and observe them.
    For over a half a century I have directly observed animals of all sorts that are very happy, and obviously so, all day every day and they enjoy their lives.
    To the best of my knowledge, your knowledge, or anybody’s knowledge alligators may be the world’s best mathematicians, and we would never know it.

    Stephen Hawking was a third-class Physicist, but because of his magnificent overcoming of his disabilities, was a Mega-Media Star who inspired people …. And more importantly ….. donations!
    I read his books. 
    At least when he talked about “new light”, it was about REAL new light.

    It has been my experience that more often than not, any “committee” can be described as a life form with at least six legs, and no brain.

    How when and where do you convene these committees?

    It appears here that you are claiming to be an Elder of Jehovah’s Witnesses. 
    If this is true, it would go far in explaining why it takes 22 “man-years” of witnessing to get ONE Jehovah’s Witness to stay his entire lifetime, and why 73% leave.

    Years ago, I took my family to a Renaissance Faire, where people walk around in costumes from the 1500s and 1600s, and they have Shakespearean plays, and jousting contests on horses, fake sword fights, all for entertainment  … and vendors selling giant turkey legs, etc.  Sorta like walking through a medieval village in England.  The entrance to the Renaissance Faire looks like a castle and is attended by thousands of people, who pay for this.
    I paid a costumed Professional Insulter $5 to insult me and his non-stop invectives for five solid minutes were blistering, embarrassing, and took insulting to all new levels that I did not even know existed. But it was all in good fun and I laughed and laughed with a sense of wonder about how he could possibly think of such things.
    The thing about Dmitar’s insults is that they’re just plain malicious and hateful with no redeeming social value. Actual slander.
    Malignant.

    I have a similar picture of my two darlings 😂 Thankfully they do not destroy anything in the house, they just drag in stuff through the doggie door from the yard (twigs, fallen branches, plant supports...etc.) and proceed to make an almighty mess of it indoors, and after they are done, happily snoozing amongst the carnage.

    If you think you need to justify your behavior and action by qualifying others, Then it doesn't matter if you see something you never will. As for writing more clearly, I do my best to keep it simple that even a 6-year-old could understand. If I get simpler, I'd have to use crayons and pictures like @Pudgy. That would be contrary to spiritual maturity by staying as a spiritual child.

    Accusations my dear.   I did not intend to defend her.  Another misassumption on your part. You know very well who is the father of false accusations. 
    I think I could  have have a pretty good debate with you about the universal laws of Jehovah by just using the Mosaic law and universal principles taught by Jesus - but I would not risk the nastiness.  You are NOT qualified to teach as you do not have any patience and you have no kindness or love. If I could learn something from you - you are sure to go and mess it up with total loss of self-control regarding accusations and reviling.

    I disagree. 
    I have never claimed to be a “good” Christian, and if it were not for the training and education I received from OTHER highly flawed Jehovah’s Witnesses, I would have had a very short life, dying on a battlefield somewhere, or worse.
    A lot worse.
    We should NEVER stop trying to be a Christian.
    As the famous cartoon character Pogo once said “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”

    I hope you can recall that the bible said: narrow is the road.....  - the holy spirit should help you recall this scripture and help you to leave off the felicitous and acidic remarks. Sometimes you are funny - but there is a time for everything. 
    Unfortunately, I am a Christian who likes all kinds of people and can even put up with a few very nasty ones. But I am one of those who find myself. per occasion. to be nasty to those who respect nothing holy.  
    Our fellow worshippers were talking about Dmitar above (I assume so).  I have also been unkind to him on a few occasions because of him insisting to be totally obnoxious at times - mostly unfounded.  I have tried to reach out to him.... but he does not respond to any form of kindness or even agreement. He puts himself above all of that.
    You are similar.  You always have to turn everything into a inappropriate joke and there is little kindness or responsiveness to things wholesome.   I wish I could hear a little wisdom from your mouth. I would listen.  I am sure it is somewhere deep inside but it seems you will lose face if you do show your vulnerable side.
