Seeker,
My initial reaction to your reply to me was a typical British saying :'if the cap fits wear it'
BUT
I actually wasn't referring to you personally so I am puzzled at your offended reaction.
As a JW for 20 years I felt like I had a bright multicoloured t-shirt on permanently which read I AM A CRACKPOT!!!I hated being treated like a fool for believing what I believed.
So I find it demoralising when I see forum members taking the P out of anyone expressing interest in topics a bit different.
I understand where you are coming from regarding lurking JW's but I am sure they are more likely to be shocked at the scornful attitude of posters or by threads on bad language or racism.
Why can't we tolerate eachothers differing beliefs?
Some on this board are atheists and make sure we all know it. That's fine by me. I believe in God and that's my choice. Maybe JW's lurking will be turned off by atheists but maybe they might secretly feel the same. Who knows?
It doesn't matter because freedom of speech is encouraged in here and Simon does not impose censorship. We have a great place to chew the fat. I love the place.
Hope that clarifies it, Seeker. Nothing personal.
