What happened? Was it too close to a Watchtower Society impersonation? Did I say something too offensive? Whaaaaa? I was just havin' fun, and had just prepared a WT-style response to someone who didn't seem to know it was a parody, too...ah, well...

I missed it!
weird, and since you posted it in the private, its not on the wayback machine... I didn't remember reading anything objectionable anyway, it's probably a glitch..?
baltar, I thought that was a public post. I had just finished writing a response, and then my computer just went to the login screen and I couldn't find the thread anymore. Hmm. I don't think I have any copies of it, either...dang it. A lost issue...
I wonder if being on the Watchtower Online Library at the same time has anything to do with it. Nah. Couldn't be. Could it?

Didnt see it, now I am curious.
It was quite a parody - so Watchtoweresque that it fooled some.
Well, now this is reaching that awkward point of trying to describe a now non-existent thread. It was supposed to be a satire taking a little sprinkle of references to 'The Dark Knight Rises' and making it into a "The Daystar Rises" discussion.
The first paragraph mentions the soon-to-be blockbuster, record-and-Batman-smashing film and refers to Batman as a "violent vigilante". It also highlighted how Batman's perching on tall buildings was similar to the gargoyles atop some of Christendom's cathedrals--hence, inventing a reason to knock Christendom.
Then we started talkin' about the Daystar rising in 1914, and how when this wicked system is ashes, Jehovah would go all Bane-like on this wicked system of things and say "You have my permission to die."
Then we said the anointed would 'rise' to heaven, and the great crowd would 'rise' to perfection in a thousand years if they obeyed the Daystar and the anointed.
Then we wrapped it up. And justmom, I believe, thought it was for real, and I actually feel sorry that she typed so much if she was serious...sorry about that.
But it was fun. You'd have to be there....

Well....maybe it hit a soft spot and they didn't like what they read. Oooh well...... truth hurts

Dude, you don't save those articles? You should.
