Apology accepted.
I have been called many things, but an inbred skunk and a lesbian are new. I'll share those with my husband.
I am a hater of all things that remind me of the WTBTS. When I read these threads, written by men and women who have never fought in a playground fight let alone a real battle field, I get....annoyed and for some strange reason, their logic sounds like the elders on the platform. My sarcastic, point out the flaws side comes out. (The few veterans of this board, men and women, are to be applauded. I appreciate the military. You and people who serve today are protecting our lives.)
Listening to people condemn our country for everything is annoying.
My references to balls and certain posters lack thereof, is to point out that they were raised as JWs. They were raised as pacifists. They were taught no fighting, turn the other cheek, etc.
In the real world, that does not work. Countries are always going to be fighting with other countries. Wishing that all war would go away is silly. You might as well go back to the KH and wait for armageddon. It is not going to happen. Countries have to agree to play nice. They do until someone in the sandbox throws his scoop at someone else and a fight breaks out. It seems to be a recurring cycle; from Cain and Abel to now.
Do you notice how few women post on these threads? Has it ever occured to you or any other man for that matter, why women just don't get into the war and fighting stuff like you do? Why are there no stories of women in the bible fighting?
