Rejected by best friend

Samuel Thorsen

My best friend for many years says he can't see me anymore because I tear down what he tries to build up. (His faith for J-Dubism.)

I am inactive but not DF-ed and this guy is a MS but he is really to smart to not see the Borg bull$h!t

Me: I'am just telling you some truths about our religion you can check out for yourself if you belive I'm joking. How can you excpect yourself to be protected from knowledge abut your own religion while you spend 10 hours a month trying to tear down housholders beliefs for their religion and get them into your own?

Friend: That's different. I show them an alternative religion, you don't.

Me: So that means if I promote an other religion we can still be friends?

Friend: Eeehh....

Ladies and gentlemen. Where do we go from here???

I'm sorry. It is a shame that their version of truth cannot withstand scrutiny isn't it? Rather sad commentary on their 'religion' when their faith could be shaken so easily by being friends with someone who believes differently. What fragile faith do they have when even reading something could 'destroy' their faith? They have no understanding of what true faith is, in my opinion, their 'faith' is entirely dependent upon their book publishing company telling them what their faith consists of this week.

If he's so insecure about his religion why is he wasting his time preaching it? Sounds like an extreme case of denial to me.

Sad...sad...sad.....

My best friend and I have differnt views on many things...yet we remain friends...why?...because we respect the others viewpoint...when you cannot, will not, respect another's viewpoint then there can be no basis for friendship, or anything else for that matter...

llbh

If they have the truth why are they frightened to put thier beliefs under the microscope? Unless of course they don't

It is very sad when people do not to reason and reject those who do

Hush for a while. Sometimes this separation will open his ears more than your words ever could.You have planted seeds, now it is time to let them grow.....

Sometimes it's best to not say anything about their religion. You may be able to 'win them without a word' by living well.

Not many people want to be told they are wrong all the time. Expecially when it comes to faith-based beliefs.

Sorry you are losing your friend.

-Aude.

Just step back and give a little time to digest what you have already told him, give him space for a couple of weeks.

Perhaps not discussing religion for a while unless he brings something up, just be subtle with a couple of quick words and that's it. You

would be surprised by what he may recall you telling him down the road.

Yeah, maybe you can agree to disagree for right now. Perhaps if he sees you functioning well and happily outside the Org it will pique his curiosity. However, as you know the Org considers you (and most of us here) to be a bad associates and he may feel under pressure to abandon the friendship you once had.

As you say, he is smart, but is he strong enough to get up, look up, check things out for himself, and hopefully leave?

Samuel Thorsen

Thanks for your support.

I'll have to leave him alone for a while. May be ill grab my necktie and just show up at the district assembly this summer. That would confuse him. I'd like to show I am not an enemy of the dubs and they don't scare me. I'm just a friendly truthseeker.
