Someone that I publically flamed (well, sort of) here yesterday sent me an email. Much to my bemusement, they actually spoke to me & stuff. Note that this is unheard of. Here is my reply (I'm not too eager to post private email here, and their reply, if any, will be kept private too. But what I write is MINE so I'm posting it here ;))
Hey Res0.
This was a MOST unexpected email. People like you can rarely summon up the guts to speak with me more than once or twice, LOL.
Look, I'm not out to nail people's religions, but if you're a Jehovah's Witness, I'll never stop "persecuting" you. Understand that I know far too much about your religion to ever not debase and insult it at every opportunity. It robbed me of some of the best years of my life, in fact the lion's share of my life has been devoted to this so-called "religion", and that makes me seethe with anger at times.
Unfortunately there are very few places to direct this anger, apart from the adherents of this CULT, so sometimes I can be a little bit more harsh than I really mean to. If you met me in real life, you'd understand. I'm actually a supernice guy in reality, but online I tend to put across a different impression on occasion.
Now here's a little hair puller for you:
1. I NEVER EVER DRINK. (Of course, nobody believes this, you'd have to have known me for years to believe that statement.)
2. I don't smoke.
3. I don't "CUSS". DOH. It's considered very rude in my country. I invite you to go through all of my posts on Jehovah's Witness Discussion, nearly 4000 of them, and find all the purported swearing that us Apostates are so famous for.
4. I do goodly deeds for my neighbours all the time. I don't discriminate against people based on how much Field Service they did last month or their standing in the Congregation. Now that Jehover isn't around to interfere any longer, I can now love everyone equally.
5. I refuse to believe in a supposedly "LOVING" God who is going to shortly kill over 7 billion people and who chooses as his sole channel of communication a group of men who consistently fail in their prophesying and who once wrote such gems as "Women are like cows in heat", "Black people make good servants", and of course that old chestnut, "Aluminium is bad for you and Satanic". Oh, and they change their literature to hide this fact, too. If you want references to all of this "Old Light" that you would have been forced to publish at the doors, about 50 years ago, then I'll give them to you.
You see, in my years on the XJW sites, I've come to the following conclusion: An informed Witness is an EX Witness.
One day, probably too late, you will understand this too.
The chances of you replying to this email approach zero, and the chances of you actually physically addressing all my points above are effectively zero - I know your kind, one whiff of a logical argument, not an emotional or Biblical one, and you run.
I'm a patient guy, but I know you'll never reply to something as incindiary and potentially faith-destroying as this. You just might have to go and do some research (GASP! Don't want to go too close to those old Watchtowers now!)
Above all, peace. I'm not here to be your enemy. It was when I left the Society that I learnt how to love people for the first time. All the Watchtower taught me was God-approved Hate.
Regards,
