Episode 30 - Judgment Day: the very name makes people reluctant to think about it, but the Bible promises that the day is coming when everyone will be held accountable for what they have done, believer and unbeliever alike.
Judgment Day: the very name makes people reluctant to think about it, but the Bible promises that the day is coming when everyone will be held accountable for what they have done, believer and unbeliever alike. The Bible has much to say about the subject, but a lot of the content is rather vague about some things, such as timing.
But in the end, the timing does not matter as much as your preparedness for it. Will you be ready to give an account of your life?

Just discovered this subreddit recently, and I have a question for y'all; What does your fursona mean to you?
Your answer doesn't need to follow this format, but here's my answer to my own question: Both St. Bernards and I love cold weather, are extremely friendly, are happy to help those in need, are cuddly (:3), are loyal, and are big ol' critters. Ever since I really joined the fandom in earnest, I've felt that I was a bernie. How about y'all? Does your fursona have a spiritual importance to you? Do you feel similar to your fursona? Or is it just your favorite animal? I'm genuinely curious!

"Furry Lifestyle": Papabear Wants to Hear from YOU!
Is there such a thing as a "furry lifestyle"?
If so, how do YOU define it? If not, why not?
Please post your comments below. A fascinating topic that needs to be talked about! Thank you!

Furry Thinks It's His Job to Dictate What Friend's Fursona Should Be
Hey. I have a question and I don't know who to ask anymore. What should I do about this friend of mine? To explain, I like having my main fursona and other forms I can use. Well this friend has decided it’s their concern as to which is my main one and that I really shouldn't have others. Now this person is a good guy which is why I put up with it. But I don't know if I can continue a friendship in which when I try to confront him about it he hides away, blocks me, and such. What in the world should I do?

Dear Micheal,
A fursona is a very personal thing in this bear’s mind. Grubbs is my alter ego (hmm, or maybe Kevin is Grubbs’ alter ego, hee hee); I would never let anyone dictate to me my fursona because he is a very real part of me.
There are also furries, however, for whom a fursona is not that serious a thing, or they don’t even want a fursona because they just like reading furry comics and such and don’t care to actually be an anthropomorphic being. This is fine, too.
If you’re like me, then having someone essentially tell you who you are is highly offensive. If someone told me, “You can’t be Grubbs, you have to be a purple husky” I would make like John Cleese as the rude Frenchman and fart in their general direction, walking the other way. There are few things in the world that get this bear more ticked off than someone else telling me who I am or how to live my life. If I were in your shoes, I would (politely, at first, anyway) tell this furry that it really isn’t his business and my fursona is a reflection of who I am, not who he thinks I should be. If that ticks him off, too bad.
Now, you might not take your fursona as seriously as yours truly. As you mention, you have several; one you favor more, and several others. That’s fine. It can be fun switching fursonas and playing around with them. But, again, your main fursona is your choice. I don’t know why this other furry has it in his head that he should be telling you what to do with it. That’s like telling you what car to buy or what clothes to wear. Is it his business? No.
You say this person is a “good guy.” Well, that may be, but a good guy wouldn’t tell you what to do about your fursona (a good guy might try and tell you what to do if you were doing something harmful, like drinking and partying too much, but not this). He also certainly wouldn’t be a drama queen and block you and ignore you when you don’t agree with him. Sounds like he’s awfully immature.
If I were you, I’d stick to your guns and assert your right to pick your own fursona or fursonas. If he doesn’t like it, too bad. He needs to grow up and not be such a baby when other people don’t agree with him.
Nuff said.
Keepin’ it furry, Micheal.
Hugs,
Papabear

Cages Will Not Hold Them
James Patterson is a world-famous thriller and mystery novelist, well-known for such best-selling book lines as the Alex Cross Series (including Kiss the Girls and Along Came A Spider, both of which have been adapted into movies). Now his latest work, Zoo, has been adapted before it even comes out… this time, as a graphic novel! Written by Mr. Patterson and Michael Ledwidge, Zoo has been adapted and illustrated by Andy McDonald. The hardcover black & white book will be released by Yen Press in November. So what’s it about, and why are we telling you here? Check it: “All over the world, brutal attacks are crippling entire cities. Jackson Oz, a young biologist, watches the escalating events with an increasing sense of dread. When he witnesses a coordinated lion ambush in Africa, the enormity of the violence to come becomes terrifyingly clear. With the help of ecologist Chloe Tousignant, Oz races to warn world leaders before it’s too late. The attacks are growing in ferocity, cunning, and planning, and soon there will be no place left for humans to hide. ”

Feeling Disconnected from the Fandom
How can we improve our fandom in the present days? I've seen lots of furs being rude to other furs and even forgetting people they know adding and then deleting and showing their true selves in posts and conversations. It all seems most furs have been forgotten like myself. Maybe people are forgetting others because of the posts in the past like when I was badly depressed or maybe other things came up. Some furs seen to have gone astray and pushing others away. At certain times I'm really needing furs in my life so we can all strive to help each other when needed.
I've said my words many times and journals and get brushed off as people don't care anymore like they did back then. The only time they care is when you post something about a family member or pet passing ... nothing else. I need some advice out there about how to deal with issues like this.
I'm not sure if it is all the younger people getting into furs or if it's those that think they are popular and can push others around and even people saying "I don't like you because you like such and such!" I've made many journals about this on FA and on Facebook and few replies. The only ones that would reply are those close to me, others can just push me away and sweep me under a rug and not care.
When I started the fandom back in mid/2005 I didn't see much drama like there is now so in a case the fandom is changing. It's even changing on instant messengers as well. How do we go about this? Do we delete those off our IM's that don't want to strike up a conversation or people who just don't care. People these days have IM's on phones so not knowing if they are online on the phone or online behind a computer. Also I'm usually the one to start the conversation then no reply from the other end. Also when asking someone how they are nobody asks how I am. Is that person not interested in me or do they not have the question in mind or do they have nothing that would be good for both of us to discuss? All in all it's all about what people's needs are and if they are met. Are they interested in the needs of others or do they think just of themselves?
Also I've felt that some furs like to stalk others and getting the feeling of this on FA and Facebook and not so much in other spots. The question is do people watch me for my fursuit and not the real me or are they going for numbers to compete with friends of theirs? Some furs are just strange! They add you and never say anything. They just watch you like a hound dog!

Dear Ace,
I think one of the things you are talking about is the lurker phenomenon. This is quite common, and not only in the furry community, and you shouldn’t take personal offense to it. For instance, I founded the BearFurries group on Yahoo and it has like 200 members but only a handful actually contribute to it; the rest are all lurkers. That’s okay, though. They can read comments and look at the art posts and stuff and enjoy it. Similarly, Papabear has lots of friends on Facebook, and it is impossible for me to stay in touch individually with all of them, so I do mass emails and such. I don’t believe I am unique in having two types of friends on FB: close friends/bruin brothers, and then people who are acquaintances. The important thing, Ace, is that you have some close friends and family you keep close tabs. The rest are nice to have, and some might develop into more than passing friends and become real friends, but don’t worry about it.
As for the problems of some furs feeling out of the loop, left out, disparaged by popufurs and people who think they can define who and who is not a furry, your letter could not come at a better time. The furry community has changed a lot. It has grown and diversified with the result being that it lacks cohesion, unity. That is why I founded The American Furry Association, which will be a place that all furries can elect to call “home.” Everyone—and I mean EVERYONE—who is interested in furry in any way is welcome.
The AFA will be ideal for people like you, Ace. It will be a resource center for everything from business to social news. It will be nonprofit and will accept donations to specific funs. There’s so much to say about it I can’t put it all in one letter, but check out the link at the right on the home page for more information.
Big Bear Hugs,
Papabear
Looking for inspiration
Hey r/furry, I just recently decided to go about changing species for my fursona and am need of your help. I've decided to go with a lynx but can't seem to think of what I want to do for his fur pattern or color and was wondering if any of you could offer any inspiration. I'm going with the name Echo and he's roughly based off myself. I had some friends help me brainstorm with me when I thought of the species and persoanlity wise this is what we came up with.
loyal, quiet(ish), adventerous, stubborn at times, wise(advice and experience wise) and sneaky.
In terms of color I don't think I'm gonna do anything too bright and flashy. As for patterns I ak open to any idea.
If you have any questions just ask. Thank you in advance and to those that already have
