    To Dr larc and others

    Do you think that social contagion theory has any merit? Do you believe that we see evidence of this phenomenon on this board? Methinks that whenever a jw or jw sympathizer or person like me, who does not hold a popular opinion on matters discussed on this board, comes here--he or she is immediately shouted down by the crowd.

    So Eu wonders if the animal is controlling the crowd here. What do you all think?

    Yours

    Folks,

    I think Eu has a legitimate question. Why do some of you have a mob mentality? Why don't you address the content of a poster, rather than attack them? What good do you think you are doing by taking this stance? Who are you helping, besides yourself and your ego? Do you help the timid lurker? Do you help remove the stereotype regarding those who leave the WT, as being rabid dogs, when you behave like rabid dogs? What on earth are you accomplishing by such conduct? Is your anger so great that you can't control it, so that you might help others? If so, I feel very sorry for you.

    For those of you who choose to attack others, you are to be pitied. You have learned nothing from leaving the JWs. You have truely become "worldly." You should be ashamed of yourselves.

    Some of your anger should be contained and restrained and only used to motivate you to action. It should not be used to villify others and cause damage.

    I brought this back up top for those of you who attack others. I would like to read your reasons for doing so. Please tell me why you are doing this? Your aggression is misplaced. Take in out on the source, not the victims of the source, and use your anger to accomplish something that is constructive, like those before you have done, such as Ray Franz, Jim Penton, and Randy Watters. Use them as your role model. Do not remain a part of the rable that accomplishes nothing and only does harm.

    Well,

    I bring this back to the fore front again, to ask the verbal bullies one more time, why do you do it? Are you so full of hate, that you have to pick on others? Have you no sense of goodness and mercy left in you? Please think about this.
