By the way, those who try to please everybody, don't make a difference in the lives of anybody. But if that is how you want to live, who am I to argue with it?
What does "pleasing everybody" have to do with the criticism being dished your way?

So once you "rescue" these folks from the JW's, what do you do with them? Tear them down and denigrate them when they have a moment of uncertainty or pain? If you were raised a JW, I would hope you could have more compassion for others whose formative years were squashed by the experience. Do we pick up and go on and make the best lives possible? Of course. But how utterly self absorbed not to be able to feel for us when we lose our way. Like anti abortion protesters that have zero interest in what happens to the babies born to unfit mothers. Is it that you feel for those you rescue, or that you hate the organization?
That said, you're pretty funny sometimes, and rather sad in this thread. Also, if Seven loves and respects you, there must be more to you than meets the internets.
beksbks,
You said:
: Do we pick up and go on and make the best lives possible? Of course. But how utterly self absorbed not to be able to feel for us when we lose our way.
Of course that would be evil, if it were true. But of course, that is not true. I challenge you to prove that assertion applies to me. I want FACTS, not feelings.

That is both a false dilemma and a loaded question. It is also a huge and unwarranted insult by comparing me to someone who doesn't give a shit about humans who I have worked so hard to get free of religious bondage. Don't you see the idiocy in your statement? If you don't know what I'm talking about, then do yourself a favor and get educated on fallacious reasoning and arguments, because you are stuck in them. Otherwise, I will totally trash your self-serving statement so the whole world can see how foolish your argument really is.
:That said, you're pretty funny sometimes, and rather sad in this thread. Also, if Seven loves and respects you, there must be more to you than meets the internets.
Yeah. He knows me. Personally. As in "IN PERSON" personally. You don't. People who don't know me are the first to assume too much about me and of course, it is always good sport to trash people and their motives whom you know nothing about when you cannot defeat their arguments. You are welcome to trash me if you can defeat my arguments, but not until then. I trash people sometimes after I have defeated their ridiculous arguments. They deserve it. I only ask of others what I ask of myself, dear.
Now, why don't you just go out and do some hard work that will help dubs free themselves from WT bondage and quit ragging on someone who has been doing it successfully for a dozen years, ok?

What is the "it" that you don't feel anymore? Please be specific. Are you a vegetable? Do you have the use of your arms, legs and torso? Are you dying of some horrible cancer and in constant pain? Do you have food to eat? Shelter over your head? Clothes to wear? Do you live through part of the day without pain? Can you still enjoy a full moon or a sunrise and sunset? Do you still think you might have a sense of humor? Can you still laugh?
If you can say "no" to even half the stuff I mentioned, then fuck off. You don't even know what a bad life is, you big whiner.

beb then said out of the blue:
::What is the "it" that you don't feel anymore?
There was never any "it" that I said I didn't feel anymore, you twit. Why do you make up shit? You still act like a dub. Show me anywhere where there was any "it" that I didn't feel anymore? You can't because you made that up out of thin air.

As you folks can see this line of questioning is not even relevant on the planet Zolotone, let alone the planet Earth and even less so to what I actually said. Beb is pulling stuff out of I don't know where.
::Do you still think you might have a sense of humor? Can you still laugh?
Yeah. I have made tons of people laugh long before you began attacking me and my motives with your nonsense, and I've never had to use incredibly stupid arguments to do it either.
beb sums it all off with this corker:
::If you can say "no" to even half the stuff I mentioned, then fuck off.
So there beb finally gets down to it, which has nothing to do with anything that was discussed:

So there, finally, is your real argument. I'm not dying of some horrible cancer and in constant pain; I have food to eat and shelter and clothes and don't have constant pain and still enjoy full moons and sunsets. Therefore, I should fuck off.
Well, why didn't you say that in the first place? You are miserable and unless I am miserable also, I should fuck off. You accused me of being a whiner and you have whined more than I have ever whined with your comments here. If I whine, I should fuck off. If you whine, me and everyone else should feel sorry for you. That makes perfect sense!

Could you run that by me again? I'm not following.
Fark? Are you ok? Not only are you repeating yourself, you are replying to your own post from another thread. I was quoting you.

This was your post on the"Have you ever felt like you don't know what to do next in your life?" thread.
What say we bury the hatchet. If you can stop being grumpy for a minute, you'll see that I was trying to be friendly tonight. How many XJW's are there in the world? Shouldn't we try to be kind and understanding of one another?
(skips into the room, looks around brightly, smiles and says) "what you people need is a recipe! Have you ever tried Mexican chocolate - the stuff that's used to make hot chocolate? Abuelita is the brand you can buy around here. Anyway, grate up one of the disks of chocolate or chop it or smash it, I don't care. But then scrape it up, put it into a bowl, add some heavy cream (slightly less cream than chocolate) and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Stir until very smooth. Pour over ice cream. It's delicious - Mexican chocolate has cinnamon and ground almonds and coarse sugar in it. Makes a really good sauce for ice cream. There, now, don't you all feel better?"
Greetings Farkel,
Same as Blueblades 100%. And I wish I could write like you!

Whatever you can tolerate....go....you are not missed.Whoa! A bit harsh! I was liking what you had to say, wings, up to that point. Everyone who "goes" is missed, even those who have been a pain in the collective keester (or just mine.) Farkel is far from being a pain - but shy of being on the ex-jw messiah pedestal.
Old/young is relative. People who are 32 are considered "old" by people who are 17. To people who are 80, fifty-five seems positively "young." Etc., etc., etc.
Sorry BB, that does sound bad. I actually meant that whatever he can tolerate...go for it....that I don't miss what he writes, and I think other don't either. Not sure how you could get that from what I wrote. I personally enjoy posters who mix it up, young or old. wings (old to most, young to a few)
