ok here is the story. I was so bored so I started having guinea pigs. I love it. I have two kinds that are hairless. Very rare, and my silly regular Americans someone rescued.
I had one paid for and three more going to be next week then picking them up.
I had spoke up about a hoarder on the g pig group, P. People were glad and also did their best to offer to help her. She would not take help.
We know what denail looks like. Even shown to her, her own words, she did not see them.
Ok now, she has a friend S, which is the gal I bought and am buying the g pigs from. She, P, knows I am a JW (Jehovah's Witness). She put some horrible, lying posts of a video and other lying propaganda on her friends fb.
I was very hurt. They were saying awful things and laughing. Pure discrimination. In my view, MY experience, commiting the unforgiveable sin. There is ONE creator, even though they are not JW's they are laughing at the creator. Or were.
I was upset all night. Woke up in tears. The Gal S would not answer me if I was still able to buy the other g pigs. She had blocked me from everyway to contact her. remember she still has my full payment for one. Is a lot
As I was hanging cloths, guinea pig blankets no less, lol, I thought, WAIT a minute, I do not want to be associated with a person like that! One so prejudiced and hurtful to our Father! I will tell HER I am not going to buy the g pigs and to paypal my money back. I told her why also.
To thine own self be true. Good example. I don't care if she gave them to me free, I would not associate with her.
I know I am a good person, I never purposely hurt anyone, I am loyal and dependable.I do not attack the person but the issue.
If I associate with anyone who is prejudice about anything or anyone, it is like condoning it, and that would not be true to my beliefs! All I know for sure is MY experience, the Bible say to love the creator with our whole hearts and our whole souls and love our neighbor as ourselves.
But we are to hate their behavior when it is evil.
ugh. made me cry a few times. But then look what happend to Jesus uno? I have to stand up for what I believe in, hurt or not in physical pain or not.
btw she did this to my friend too.
shame on her....love, debilyn who is a nut for a guinea pig in a hammok with stinker kitten in the next one over!
Life isn't always easy, and sometimes what we truly fear does happen, but you know, it's what we do with it that makes the difference, It takes a couragus person to face fears head on, but then look at what you get? principals above personalities, I found this share to be a delightful example of a person, to their own self being true, and curtious and respectful, you are a truly loving sincere person yours in support and respectx
I feel like you are taking appropriate measures to insulate yourself from negative people. God as you said is love. Love thy neighbor as you would yourself. A prayer I always say when the actions of another disturb me is:
God bless them and heal me
That way my intention is to inject love back into to the world so that my HP can turn my attention towards positive, loving, constructive things to be of service to Him.
thanks for the pics and the smiles today. I adore them.
g- and p and g? lol. but i thing i figured it out gp meaning guniea pig and i got the gist of it
sadly......with the age of freedom of expression...the swinging sixties and evolution- respect for religion has been the first thing to go- Jesus- Catholicism and other relatd religion is always the one that gets the bashing. people who do this need to think about what they are doing.
I agree- to debate or laugh about a topic is one thing- but to get personal is another- these people are just un-evolved- misguided and immature.
Turn the other cheek, dear cyber friend. Turn the other cheek.
Not to make excuses for this woman, but. . . . we can all be "Bozos" at times. If she truly knew better, she'd do better. Teach through your example. That's all we can do.
And when it's our turn to be a Bozo, let's hope people will give us a little understanding.
Take good care & focus on what makes you feel good. You have a lot of love (animals) in your life. Enjoy!
