I am curious about all your goats blood, hell, pentagram "jokes". I hope it is not your opinion that anyone who wears a pentagram (or pentacle) is some how involved in those silly tv depictions of pagans or witches. If not, than your merely perpetuating a myth..if so...get informed. I *think* that those were jokes meant to mock the ignorance Cat Protector believes the Jehovah's Witnesses exhibit. I don't think that Cat Protector really believes those things -- CP just thinks that Jehovah's Witnesses believe those things, and CP is making fun of the Jehovah's Witnesses. I don't like the JW for their frightening "rules" concerning sexual abuse and the reporting of the same. Scary. That's fine...but joking about the stereo-type does more to promote the same. You have no idea (or maybe you do) the amount of muck one has to go through if their religion isn't mainline. I do wear a pentagram and am constantly having to explain it has nothing to do with devil worship or any other nonsense that tv (and these jokes) feed the public. It's means earth, fire, water, air and spirit. It is the star of life...yeah...real scary business that. As for the JW, when they come to my door the most they are trying to do is to "save" me. Obviously I don't need them and don't want to be "saved" by them but caring enough about a total stranger...wanting them to follow the one true path (by your own standards) is nothing more than misguided. It's not horrible. I can't and won't believe as they do but they don't pelt my door with rocks when I shut it and they don't yell slurs at me. ..not like we do them. (by we I mean us non JW). Like I said...a polite no thank you is all that's required...and I beg you don't tarnish the reputation of non mainline spiritualist by waving your pentagram and hollering about goat sacrifices. It does way more harm than good. AG |
