    Oh John....... I just read this comment and noticed this portion, and although I agree with you that we should stop this conversation as it is off topic here and we seem to be going around in circles, I feel I have to ask you this;  What does reporting a suspect of child abuse to the police have anything to do with promoting apostasy???? It seems like you are all mixed up about what you should and shouldn't do. I know you are not stupid, I can tell you are intelligent, so I don't get this apparent mental block you have regarding this particular subject.

    Mark Twain said something like: when I was 16 my dad was so ignorant I could barely stand to have him around. But when I was 21, I was amazed at how far the old man had come in such a short time.

    Hey, that's the same picture on which I based my first original "meme"

    But then again . . . too few to munch on . . .

    Once you accept the concept that one generation actually means two overlapping generations ... and that is what Jesus meant when he said "This generation will not pass away, until all these things occur", your observation is, regretfully .... absolutely fair.

    I have a great deal of tolerance with people in general, but vulgarity should be limited to those who cannot think well enough to express themselves without it.  Thinking  correctly is hard work, and many are lazy.
    I cannot imagine the Apostle Paul ministering to a bunch of sailors at a seaport dock, using the same language as he would use from a podium at the Sanhedrin ... there is a time and a place for EVERYTHING.
    In mortal hand to hand combat, verbal expressions have somewhat more "energy" than reading poetry during a picnic.
    I find vulgarity offensive ... because it means , generally, I am in a conversation with a stupid person, not because I am personally offended by the vulgarity.
    But getting back to the "Dog" theme ... dogs DO have a sense of Justice and fairness. I have five dogs who wait patiently to be hand fed treats, because they know they will all be fed the same amount... and when I discipline them, their hurt feelings are only momentary.
    When I get angry I can scare paint off of walls, but when I change my tone of voice, they run to me to be petted and consoled.
    .... but to be safe, I do not tell them how much life insurance I have.

    I understand this, as with my size and appearance, and to avoid being misunderstood by curious neighbors ... I cannot dig holes in my back yard at night, in the rain, with a flashlight.

    I often wondered why military uniforms had so many patches, braids, medals, and other stuff on them.
    Then I realized that men were decorated up like that so that people who "knew the code" could tell at a glance your entire history and experience level, and your motivation levels, and other factors ... like a ten page resume that could be evaluated in two seconds.
    I see nothing wrong with announcing that someone is willing to Pioneer ... go out for "sustained combat".
    It is hard work, and perhaps they will need encouragement or some physical assistance.
    Give honor where it is due!
    I would like to see something like the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor or some other appropriate award for "I survived Bethel"....

    Quote "but vulgarity should be limited to those who cannot think well enough to express themselves without it.  Thinking correctly is hard work, and many are lazy. "
    Um, horses for courses i think. Street cred' is very necessary for some people in some places. Thinking correctly for those in the working class regions is totally different to thinking correctly in the upper class regions. It's not a lack of intelligence, in fact it could be showing intelligence. 
    Quote : " I find vulgarity offensive ... because it means , generally, I am in a conversation with a stupid person, not because I am personally offended by the vulgarity. "..   That seems a narrow minded judgemental attitude.  
    Reminds me of an Elder once telling me that he and his wife went to their first Memorial dressed in 'their normal clothes'. They were Hippies and his wife was wearing the shortest brightly coloured mini skirt that she had. Were they wrong ? No, they just didn't know what was the right way to dress for such an occasion. 
    The same with language, you could be a very intelligent person but have never been taught what is deemed the right words to use.

    It is an adult's job to judge EVERYTHING.
    That's why we work hard to become adults .... to develop those skills.
    Those bad at judging EVERYTHING, often have very short lifetimes, full of drama and hardship, filled with bad, destructive "friends".

    This is why witch hunts based on humor rumors is so very important for local entertainment.

    Some people that want and have  the job of being our masters, guides, instructors, teachers, judges  ... and policemen ... are highly competent, and have the very best of intentions ... but if none of that is true ... they STILL intend to be our masters, guides, instructors and teachers, judges ... and policemen.

    limmy:
    and with that philosophy, clearly the Allied Forces mobilized to push back the Germans should have never bothered, to preserve the Unity and Tranquility in Europe under Nazi Occupation, and the glories of German Civilization.
    When the Nation you love and hold dear to your heart ... and we ARE A NATION ... without land territory ... is overrun with leadership that are ... in their own words ( In the Feb., 2017 Watchtower) "neither inspired or God, or infallible". (DUH!) that is not a good time to be a "Good German".
    Remember ... according to the Theocratic Organization ruling at the time of Jesus' time on Earth ... HE was an Apostate.
    Jack Ryan is an apostate, and apparently an atheist... but TRUE is true ..... no matter what the source.
    As Winston Churchill said to his wife in the latter part of World War II, when she threatened to leave him .... (paraphrased) "Please forgive me... the only thing I know how to do is FIGHT.".

    What in the world would make you think that? With the possible exception of @Anna, who may be a high-ranking brother in drag, I think it is most unlikely that anyone is UNLESS they are malcontents working for the other side.
    One can never know for sure, because the Internet is the land of the liars.
    All comments that I have seen, the ones that have stayed on-topic, that is, have been focused on human matters, if not individual rights. I’ve not seen any that have addressed God’s stated insistence on preserving a clean people for his name.

    We were recordin’ the stompin’ of  the Crocodile Chompin’
    Whoa!

    Crocodile apologies to Colin Browne, and Elton John.
