Except that those of us who are non-Jewish but Christians, understand that gentile was never meant to be offensive, just a way of distinguishing the difference in the Bible because Jews had specific restrictions on diet, etc. So yes, there’s a difference. Try doing a little research.

I had previously thought a “wog” was the past tense of a “wig”. Silly me!

OY VEY !!!!!!!!! (((SPOTTED)))

Spotted the jew !

This is the silliest comment I’ve seen here yet. It’s 2020, my friend. Everybody knows about gaslighting and whataboutism.

Try something else.

I agree with everything you said Ooglie about the term WOG in Australia. I think tonality can play big roll, said in the wrong tone it can still offend. Australians have generally accepted us Greeks and Italians as one of them now as we have been in Australia for over 50 years, gone are the days when they would say we are different – they now call us Australians and racism has moved to other cultures therefore thesedays they seldom try and differentiate us from them by using the term.

Hello Ooglie. I cannot speak for anyone else. But I enjoy reading other peoples’ TED talks here.

One of the best things about this blog is how many new things I learn. I almost learn at least one something new each day and most of them are OT.

There are many knowledgeable and intelligent people here. They all deserve to be congratulated for having what it took to break free from the chains of this scam.

So, I congratulate you for that same reason. Bravo!

Some peoples’ break-out stories are truly inspirational and amazing.

If you have never seen the episode of Mike & Leah’s TV show featuring Valerie Haney’s break-out story, I recommend it to you whole-heartedly. I re-watch it at least once ever month because it gives me hope and courage for the future. I fills me with joy for at least a week.

Clever, and even shows some wisdom.
I initially searched the definition of the word “wog” bc I’ve always used this term as a combination of walk and jog. Lol!
That being said, I find myself here. Having read the comments, I beg you to please humbly contemplate my thoughts.
The definition of cult is a small religious group having beliefs that are extreme or dangerous. Or, a small group of admirers who devote or care about someone or something too much.
It is human nature to crave a sense of belonging. And depending on our self confidence, we will find where we belong, satisfying our individual needs.
There are also those who feel they are leaders, and who may build such groups, or faiths.
And then there are the ones who thrive on assuming the role as protector and feel that justice is needed for those “poor wayward sheep without a shepherd”. When in all actuality, they too are longing for a place to belong, so they form a group by redirecting ones to think as they do to fulfill their own needs and desires.
I find a lack of love in this forum. And lots of judgment.
That fact of the matter is, we are all slaves to something. We can’t fight gravity and we all must breathe oxygen, drink water, and face death whether we are religious or not.
Because of freewill, we can choose what we will be slaves to. Slaves to materialism? To sexual impulses or drugs and alcohol? Slaves to family, obsession?
Really now, is being a slave to something that makes your life better, happier, gives you direction when a life event trips you up, AND gives you hope, better than living a life of mental and physical anguish?
And isn’t it reasonable to say that all of our brains could use a little washing?
And nooooo, I’m not, nor was I ever scientologist. But I DO believe in loving God with all my heart, mind and understanding, loving my neighbor (mankind) as myself, and treating others the way I’d like to be treated. No acceptions.
Oh,one last thought. True, Jehovah’s Witnesses use the word “worldly” because it’s the term the scriptures use to describe those who do not live by Bible principles. This word has been used in common english, I’ll say for forever. It is not in any way derogatory. Christ said his “kingdom was no part of the world just as he was no part of the world.” To say that the term “world(ly)” is derogatory is to say that Jesus was belittling the world he died for. And he died for EVERY man and woman.
I wish you all peace of heart.
