pain in the ass...
You know everyone, You Know reminds me of 'Life of Brian', do you know that You Know? You know the scene You Know, the one in the marketplace with the prophets all blathering on about their individual brand of utter nonsense?
BLOOD & THUNDER PROPHET... and shall ride forth on a serpents' back, and the eyes shall be red with the blood of living creatures, and the whore of Babylon shall rise over the hill of excitement and throughout the land there will be a great rubbing of parts ...
FALSE PROPHET
And he shall bear a nine-bladed sword. Nine-bladed. Not two. Or five or seven, but nine, which he shall wield on all wretched sinners and that includes you sir, and the horns shall be on the head ...
BORING PROPHET
And there shall in that time be rumours of things going astray, and there will be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia work base, that has an attachment they will not be there.
(...)
At this time a friend shall lose his friends's hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before ...
The only thing 'special' about You Know (other than his educational needs) is the fact he manages to spin ALL THREE of the architypical (hahaha) prophets into one. Threats, lies and UTTER boredom. Wow! What a talent!
Of course, it's not nice to mock the mentally ill (although in You Know's case I'm willing to make an exception), but I see little point in engaging anyone as deluded as You Know in conversation, as he is so in denial he is halfway up the fucking Amazon, and I don't mean the dot com. You could prove that black is black and he would still say it was green.
The worst thing of all is that he is, one way or another, completely monomanical. Even if he IS just having a laugh and doesn't believe that shit, to spend the amount of time he does obsessing is unbalanced.
IF you are joking You Know... hey, stop drinking coffee, turn the computer OFF, go get some fresh air, okay?
But I don't think he's joking, which is very scarey.
Basically his cognotive dissonance has reached such proportions he is driven to activities that stop him facing what he already subconciously knows; that the JW's are wrong, dangerously flawed and manipulative.
It's just too big a step - he would have to give up everything that makes his sorry-ass life worthwhile, as outside of the Borg he has very little in the way of useful skills other than as a laughing stock.
Leaving the Borg would mean no one to look up to him (although the way we feel for him is probably matched in his own congregation as he has the social skills of a female Praying Mantis and is probably sickeningly self-rightous IRL), no status, no answers to everything, no feeling special 'cause 'you know' god's <<truth>>.
So he monomanically 'proves' himself right time and time again, to bolster his sagging faith. And he doesn't get that the only person he impresses is himself (he just depresses the rest of us).
Of course, he has reached ahead of the Borg with his own bespoke predicitions of doom and gloom, and is as much an 'apostate' as any of us here. His views, even if he didn't tell brothers and sisters in general about them, would lead to his disfellowshipping for apostatcy if they became known; thought crime.
His fraternising with apostates on this web-site is also against society guidelines. But, they don't mean HIM.
You Know is a super-fine apostle, so we can't effect him. Or, in plain English, You Know is such a deluded asshole, that nothing you say will make any difference.
His knowledge of science is enough to make him dangerous (a little knowledge is a dangerous thing), but not enough for him to understand when you show that he's misapplied/distorted facts or is just plain old fashioned WRONG. And as he doesn't know enough to see that there is huge proof for humans being older than the Bible allows for, he thinks that the Bible is god's word, and carries on chirupping about it even though extracts from the Karma Sutra would be of greater relevance and interest.
Of course, he's amusing to poke with a stick every now and then, or to tease or bait, but BOY does his stench get old quickly.
So You Know, you know we know you know You Know?
Very sorry to sink to a post dedicated to Ad Hominum, but it's in a deserving cause. I would like to suggest we just ignore him. If no one sucks his ego by replying to him for a while his reasons for posting will drive him elsewhere, as he needs the responce from us to 'prove' himself right, and without that will start to feel bad as he might actually have a moment or two when he thinks for himself. Ouch.
I know it's hard as I want to slap him senseless everytime I read his dribble, and I'll probably break my own resolution, but it's 'just an idea'.
