I'll never understand how they can justify being so aggressive in their tone. Didn't Jesus teach to turn the other cheek, to not call down evil upon anyone, to pray for your enemies and to leave the judgment in Jehovah's hands? Why are these tossed out the window when confronted with someone who doesn't believe what they believe anymore?
It's so silly and I love how elsewhere re-worded it.
can't leave
you have a pm
MttM
OK so why am I not already on your friend's list?
I want to be part of your debase aposta-pals!
Tuesday as a member of your Youtube cult I am inviting you into my facebook one!!!
PM on its way.
hey cl - you may find something on this thread that you could ask her opinion on....
It is easy to say anything when you are hiding behind a firewall. I learned on the weekend that responding to someones rant on Craigs List opens yourself to all sorts of creepy people. Never even knew it existed 'till last Friday. Had no idea what I did, 'till all sorts of hatred and probing started to appear. This stalker found pictures of me from some movies I worked on a few years ago. Started to post my name and personal info.
Now, I have nothing to be ashamed of. The pictures were from background performing here in Vancouver. I believe a commercial as well. The guy did not like my political leaning and independant thought. The person is repeating the piece over and over with his own talking points. Every day. Like he or she is not dealing with a full deck.
Take a look if you wish. Craigs list. Pick your own city , to see the hatred and disgusting garbage. These people are human? You would never know.
Ok here's my response:
I don't think my questions were insulting.
The GB have been wrong, and have changed policies back and forth on numerous occasions. Think about the heamophilliacs that could not accept factor VIII in the 1970's and 80's and had a shortened, poorer quality of life because because of that. Whereas now it is a perfectly acceptable blood fraction (obtained from donated blood like all other fractions) - so why can't they be questioned? Most witnesses don't know who they are, yet they have so much control on the rank and file witness, so again my question is valid.
In fact I would guess you question them or I would have a thought that you would be following the advice provided by the FDS in the Kingdom Ministry Sept '02
"Bear in mind that our heavenly Father has an appointed channel of communication, “the faithful and discreet slave.” That “slave” has the responsibility to determine what information is made available to the household of faith, as well as “the proper time” for it to be dispensed. This spiritual food is available only through the theocratic organization. We should always look to God’s appointed channel for reliable information, not to a network of Internet users.—Matt. 24:45."

Good response... too bad all they saw was:

I don't Facebook so I hafta ask; can anyone leave you a message? or was that someone you had 'friended'?
I'm gonna hafta join FB just so I can understand what they hell ya'll are talking about when ever the subject comes up...
Undercover, the default privacy setting is that anyone can send you a private message, and most people leave it like that. But you can also adjust your privacy so that non-friends can't message you. What not a lot of people know (Cantleave - bear this in mind please, since you have now responded) is that once you send a non-friend a message then for a period of time, I think it's a month, they can see your full profile, even if it's set to be visible to friends only. Join FB, it's fun!! When you're there do a search for JW C@fe and exJW C@fe - they are both good for a laugh.
Here's what you should write back:
