"Cat Protector" wrote in message newsxa9b.3960$v%5.1088@fed1read02... I think you worry far too much about this subject. Nobody mentioned anything about the pentagram being specifically for devil worship although it has been used as a symbol for it as well as paganism. It is a tool and it can be used for bad or good. You need to have a sense of humor here though. That's crap. The pentagram is not a tool...it is a symbol. It's history, the reason it came into being has nothing to do with "bad". I don't see you joke about burning crosses to scare off JW. You didn't specifically link the pentagram with devil worship but you sure as heck implied it. You listed all kinds of satanistic excuses the last one being "didn't you see the pentagram". That links them...particularly for the uninformed..of which I now count you as a member. For the record, devil worshippers do not use a pentagram as a symbol. They some times use and inverted pentagram.. with the point at the bottom just like they sometimes use an inverted cross. This is to promote the "anti" attitude of the symbol. AG |

Nobody mentioned slavery or the whole race issue but you seem to want to
take things out of context and turn it into something about you. Are you offended by my having a black cat? The whole post was humorous and that was all it was. It seems to me you want to take something that isn't there and make a whole issue out of it. You need to learn to relax here and maybe laugh a little. As for discimination, I have faced it but I also know when some things were meant as a joke. The original posting that I made was meant for humor. It seems most here got that but you insist it was nothing more than a ruthless attempt to pick on Pagans (which were never even picked on nor brought up until you mentioned them). Nobody was picking on the Pagans here so you need to learn to lighten up. There is also a not anti-Pagan campaign here either but you seem to want fight something that isn't there. Personally, I got nothing against them. Of course here is something that may shock and upset you. I have a black cat and I consider all black cats as being a symbol of good luck. BTW, I have known those who practice both Paganism and Wicca and am well versed on what the pentagram symbolizes but satanists also seem to use it as a symbol. One thing I know for sure is that most of those practictioners have a sense of humor and have laughed at some of the jokes. Why? Because they are human and are quite confident in themselves and their practice. They also try to spread postive and not negative. And when faced with negative they try to turn it into positive. You can try to turn this into a flame war if you want to but no ill will was meant here. It was humor. Nothing more and nothing less. What does W.A.R.D. supposed mean anyway? BTW, for those who have non-black cats I am also a member of your society as well as I also have a diluted Tabby. If Agua girl or anyone else wants to be mad about that then there is nothing I can do here. I am simply a cat lover and servent to two cats. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Agua Girl" wrote in message ... Yeah, and a lot of African Americans don't have a sense of humor about that whole slavery thing. You are more a part of the problem then you seem willing to acknowledge. You talk about "scaring away" JW by mentioning goats blood and pentagrams. You don't think that is implying that pentagrams and sacrificing and devil worship are some how linked. Maybe my "sense" of humor wouldn't be tested if closed minded and big mouthed individuals didn't go around spreading the same kind of crap that you are "joking" about. Obviously you haven't been the victim of real discrimination... born of ignorance. If you had..you wouldn't have found it any funnier than I did. Get informed. You can start with W.A.R.D. AG |

In a way it was. I have tried to point this out to Agua Girl but she seems
to want to insist that I have this strong hatred (which I do not) for Pagans. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "nimue" wrote in message .. . 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 am getting ready to go out to and witness the sacrifice of a goat so I can't talk right now. 3. This household is ruled by three cats and I must bow to them. 4.

"Cat Protector" wrote in message news:tlf9b.4792$v%5.4247@fed1read02... Are you going to be mad at me if I say I have a black cat and I see it as a symbol of good luck? Of course not. You seem to be hell bent on proving that a simple symbol such as a pentagram can't be used for either positive or negative. Anything can be used as a symbol for positive or negative. Promoting the idea that the pentagram is some how bad and signifies something negative (as you did since you suggested using it alot with comments about goat bload and sacrifices to scare off JW) is ignorant and dangerous. The only time the pentagram is really used as a symbol by "devil worshippers" or for something bad is when it is inverted. This is done to signify the opposite of what it stands for. It's the anti symbol. This is a fact. Wrap your mind around it. Research it. Check out the differences. You can use any symbol for anything you want but that doesn't make it stand for that. Pentagrams...normal point up 5 pointed stars surrounded by a circle mean only one thing historical..and world wide. That is the symbol of earth, air, fire, water and spirit..and the circle of life. That's it. Saying...even as a joke... that having such a symbol should some how scare off JW is ignorant and promotes the idea that the symbol should be feared. Symbols can be tools as well... No...a symbol is just a symbol. A tool is something different. Check the meaning in websters. Unless you happen to have a metal pentagram that you attached the end of a stick and now use as a shovel. Then I suppose it's now a tool..... You seem to have no sense of humor here. I think you need to re-read my post because I didn't say that the pentagram was mainly a satanic symbol. You promoted it. Maybe you should re-read your post. Better yet, buy a pentagram and wear it around your neck for a week or two and watch the reactions. When you lose your job, when your landlord decides not to renew your lease, when your neighbors egg your house... then tell me how funny you find your comments. No..none of those things have happened to me but they are actual cases of religious discriminations all because someone was ignorant about what that symbol means...and your "humor" perpetuates that kind of ignorance. You can get all defensive and blame my lack of "humor" or you can get educated..your choice. BTW, I have a very good sense of humor...you just aren't funny. AG |
