  An important difference between atheists and true believers

  by Hortensia in

  true believers, whether christian, muslim or whatever, want to convert you, they want you to believe what they do, and they're willing to go to extremes to make it happen.

  atheists don't really care what you believe, and don't go out of their way to convert someone.. http://ow.ly/vn1jz an example of what believers in power do to suppress any difference in thought.

  http://ow.ly/vraeo an example of why believers want to suppress different ideas (because they can't win in a fair fight, that's why).

  Exactly what jgnat said. As for "fighting", the word is just too subjective on a forum. There have been fights of course but most of the time some folks simply can't handle forceful, vigorous debate. We're all different I guess and allowances can be made but sometimes you just need to call a dickhead out.

  He mentioned different camps. The fighting comment has to do with dividing into camps against each other. People can pretend that it's as innocent as just challenging each other to think. It goes much deeper than that, when it comes to the camp comment. Being a JW leaves deep wounds and entrenched behaviors. Thinking that it's necessary to convert people, to a new found belief or disbelief, to the point it is at JWN is very JW-esque.

  Forceful, vigorous debate. I think hardy, passionate, healthy debate is good, in its place. Forceful debate? Do you hear what you are saying? That is exactly how JWs approach things. Hardy, healthy debate would not have seen so many posters banned from JWN over behaviors in the discussions of atheism vs theism.

  I guess it depends on what you mean by united. For me, I took it to mean that we shouldn't be fighting against each other.

  My first post: Pet Peeves from my JW past

  by BarHarborBarbara in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first post here: longtime lurker but hesitant to take the leap.

  my story is pretty much like everyone elses with little variance, but i thought id add a few details that especially tormented me when i was in.

  im sure these are familiar, im afraid this is a bit of a rant.. --paradise: the constant chatter about a perfect world when most in the hall were not even slightly interested in taking care of the earth now.

  We are ex JW's, there is no need to then seperate into religious and atheist camps.

  Worth repeating. It would be good if we could be united.
