Ok so listen to this: a sister in my hall was studying with this couple. actually it is a pretty cool story. its kinda long so i won't really get into it now, but the girl's dog died. she loves animals, like loves them. so she was upset and crying before their study about it and she said something to the effect of "i can't wait to see my dog in the new system". Sooo, this sister gave it a week or so to let her get better and move on and then later explained to her that animals won't be resurrected in the new system and this girl got so upset that god won't resurrect her dog, both her and her boyfriend stopped studying. OK, is it just me or is that insane?
That's pretty crazy - the truth obviously wasn't in their hearts in the first place.
I had a talk about that recently, how animals don't have souls and won't be resurrected (it was from the reasoning book). It's funny that this was such a soft spot for the couple, because as I was writing it, I remember thinking how silly it was that people could be so attached to their pets. But I guess I'm just callous like that. :P
i'm not a huge animal person, at all, so i don't understand it. sure i have had pets and was sad when they died, but i didn't give up the truth because they won't be resurrected. i dont' know, i just thought i was being mean. but the guy that was studying, man, he completely changed his life. it was awesome. he got arrested and put in jail for drugs and he continued to study in jail and completely changed his life and everything. he loved studying and wanted to get baptized. sad that they are stumbled because of a dog.
oh.. wow yeah that's pretty nutty
psst humans don't "have" souls either, we are souls... member?
i thought of saying something as well, but of course she knows that haha
it just depends on how you read it
yeah i know, i'm playin yo
Hahahaha - I know, the name of the talk was "Do animals have souls?" or something like that.
ohh man, if mikayla was just learning that when she was studying i think she would have stopped too. poor gidget
which one was gidget? was that the tripod dog that always peed on travis's car?
nooo gidget was their gold and white pomeranian. she was about 8 years old, and just was hit by a car in their driveway last month and killed. (brecken was driving, feel soo bad)
mikayla was devastated.. it's been a baad month
i remember when i was little and our dog died i was extremely upset that it won't be resurrected
i still kind of get upset about that.. when my cats go i'm gonna be really upset, i know it :(
well i think its normal to be upset about it. it is very sad when they die.
my two cats are about 9 years old, they have been a part of my life longer than my husband and most of my friends, so yeah there is definitely an attachment there
even the little birds dying last year, it was so upsetting i remember we missed a meeting because i couldn't stop crying over the baby birds
