    Its ok Lime...Krishna loves you...he hears your frustration.

    Ugh... Krishna now too? This is.. getting downright akward!

    Darn it - when do we get to go back to having goddesses? Like.. the sexy ones? I wouldn't mind a little love note from one of them, now and then...

    Should we apply that rule to everyone here tal...there are a lot of people I personally think are *nice*. But if JWN was based on that...there would be no discussion whatsoever...

    Would you prefer everyone to just smile and say thanks mouthy? And treat her like she has some old age disease? Or treat her like a thinking human being that we disagree with...she may be elderly...but I take it she doesn't want to be treated as senile...to me...that would be offensive....

    Disagreeing with her is not disrespectful...in fact...I think it is the opposite..otherwise we are being condescending.

    *smile*.......thanks mouthy....thats so nice of you....(is that better?) I hope people don't treat me like that when I get old. I hope they still take me seriously.

    Talesin - I don't think trolling is nessessarily always bad - sometimes trolling is just a bit of fun - I do it all the time. I don't think mouthy was being an 'evil' troll. But certainly trying to envoke an emotional response.

    I should have said disrespected over offended, Still. My poor choice of words. I do think everyone on here has just been having fun with teasing, and showing respect the rest of the time.

    Peace,

    yah, whatev....... I am the last person to 'have respect for elders' when they don't deserve it... but Mouthy deserves at least a modicum of respect .. SHE respects our arguments about atheism, etc., SHE does not 'shush' us when we are discussing topics that may make an old womin uncomfortable,, SHE is kind and non-judgemental,, but you go AHEAD, disrespect her.

    okay,,, go ahead, tar all 'old people' with the same brush ...... it's okay with me!

    Yeah, so far it's not really going anywhere. If only we still had our JW thinking caps. Then someone here could could certainly figure out how to be stumbled over this.

    And...you would also think the person wishing Krishna love on you could learn the truth wouldn't you tec? Your truth...listen to JESUS...so you would think they were sweet but misguided.

    Actually, I would just respect them and their belief (even though I don't share it), and leave them to God; hoping that they would do the same for me.

    Peace,

    As I tell my grandson and my grown children, showing respect is different from respecting someone. If GW Bush walked into my path, I'd be respectful to him. It wouldn't mean I respected him.
