Yeah, Oz.

Evil and I have gone round and round a number of times. We differ on many issues, but I've always enjoyed the discussion and his input. I hope he would say the same thing about me. We've also agreed on some issues as well.
Questioning a person's honesty or integrity is not the same thing as attacking them personally. Just as saying that someone's comments are asinine is not the same thing as calling them an ass. -

Beautiful effort at rationalizing your conduct, Sith. Too bad it makes no sense.

I thought the same actually 144001. Still, he was being attacked. Now let's get back to topic. What was it...............?

Ozzie, I realize the need to get back "on topic", but I would like to say one final thing as a clarification, and then I will let the matter drop.
When engaged in a discussion, if the other party presents himself as an authority on the subject discussed, and then says something that raises suspicion, it is not a personal attack to question them about it. It's good common sense.
If you look back at my original post, you'll see that I was not attacking Evil. I was merely asking a question.
Some people here are just too tightly wound. -

More rationalization, Sith? Like the Watchtower, you can try to rewrite history, but that won't change it.
Your assertion that questioning a person's honesty or integrity is not a personal attack is an excellent basis for evaluating your credibility. It speaks volumes about you.

Evil Force,
I have a question for you. I'm not sure if you are an Ex-JW or not. But IF you are, and you happen to have JW(s) as patient(s), then it seems to me you have a built-in problem in that you must also be Disfellowshipped. If that is the case, how would you be in a position to talk to them?

Oz....the topic was that you have a personal axe to grind with me and are carrying it out on a public forum. The various mods and assistant mods stealth behavior the past 2 days speaks volumes about your intents. You asked me a question I answered it. If you don't like the answer, simply say so. Or PM me if you are really interested in knowing or just interested in engaging in petty tit for tat.
Sith.... you questioned my integrity. Please let me know where I breached that in any of my posts. I am unaware of any but will address any you feel I've fallen short on. Otherwise it is simply a - did not...did too....did not...did too childish debate. Lord knows Sith you and I have gone round and round. But I cannont respond to innuendo....it would be great if we all could post our websites, phone numbers, addresses and all for everyone to then see we are true or not. But I have all of my family still in this cult. I have posted my photo which is probably already too much. But I don't want to lose contact with them. I can promise you I would be cut off and shunned. My nieces and nephews have already been held hostage to my visits before. I have not asked you nor anyone else on this board for ANY personal information. Most of us are all limited in our ability to post personal information beyond our posts. These posts IMHO must stand on their own regardless who is writing them. If you don't think the post holds water, or is accurate, or lawful, yell from the mountatin tops that the poster's info is wrong and full of inaccuracies. Sith, how do I know you are not a rat fink? Why don't you post your own picture? Why are you using a fake avatar? Why don't you say what city you live in? None of these questions are any of my business or anyone else now is it?
RodP - I have not stepped foot in a KH for about 15 years. I don't feel the need to say one way or the other if/when I may see a JW patient. Alot of Dubs are balanced in their views of a private opinion is simply that. -

By the way Evilforce, thanks for sharing this with us. I understand about privacy and all, and I too still have alot of family that are JW's.
I would just like to commend you for being able to leave the JW religion with your sanity still intact, plus being successful in your career. Its not everyday that we have an XJW become a physician. My sincerest congratulations to you, and may your career continue to flourish.
