  Mommy,

  I beleive in fairness, and then why not make others, who have done the same thing why not make their acconts inactive too.

  And as Utop. has intamated why not get rid of those on his list of pest or trolls.

  One thing I like about this place is that people can be people here and while it may not be what you or I concider right,.. at least we get a truer picture of real life and its problems we face with people being different.

  Do we just deactivate those who don't tow the Party Line.
  Look for those that agree with us and shun those that may disagree or maybe upset our little fantasy world by bringing up opposing ideas.

  Its freedom of expression that has a lot to do with making us grow.
  If you don't agree and you feel you have a good point for not agreeing and want to express it this is good.

  I beleive when freedom of expression is exercized in a fair way we all benifit even though we may be annoyed at times, call it growing pain if you want.

  If you don't like a thread because it is shallow don't keep responding to it and like all threads it will get buried that much sooner.

  If someone lived a trillion X longer than you, and had a billion X more reasoning ability would he come to the same conclusions as you?

  Simon,

  With reguards to your illustration:

  For instance, if I came over to your house and constantly shouted my opinions through your letter-box would you want to shut me up? Of course ... would you be restricting my right of freespeech and expresssion? No - because I was excercising my right in an innappropriate way and abusing the priveledge (a much better word than 'right' IMHO)

  I don't think the illustration fits our discusion this is not your house but a Public forum.
  And when something become public we rightly feel that treament should not be partial, but fair to all.., so if we allow so and so to do something,..then in all fairness we should allow other the same concideration.

  space.com dates Noah's flood to 2350 B.C.

  by aChristian in

  1. jw

  the watchtower society dates noah's flood to 2370 b.c.e.

  they do this by following bible chronology quite closely, counting backwards from 607 b.c.e., their date for babylon's destruction of jerusalem.

  however, as we know, the society's date for that event is in error.

  Marry Christmas Jan-evolution goes down in flames

  by clash_city_rockers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  darwin on trial is the title of a book on evolution that has ruffled the feathers of the secular scientific community.

  though a christian, author philip johnson critiques evolutionary theory from a secular standpoint as he examines the philosophical games many scientists play to protect their evolutionary ideology.

  johnson, a law professor at the university of california at berkeley, attacks head-on the often-heard statement that evolution is both a fact and a theory, an evolutionary dogma that has been a major source of confusion for a long time.

  I have to agree we can't impute bad motives for those who don't beleive in God.
  And neither can we impute bad motives for those the do beleive.
  No man know's for sure what other people motives are.
  We need to avoid being opinionated.
  To make such generalities is not in harmony with the complicated nature of man.

  Jesus cautioned his followers to be on guard against jugdementalism.

  Can you be a Troll, Fundie or Creationist?

  by Mindchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you have what it takes to be a troll, a fundie or creationist?

  are you ready to make a change in the ex-jw world and enlighten the masses and put fear into the hearts of your enemies?.

  maybe your assumption was that on the internet, anyone with half a brain could go to online discussion boards like this one and do their business.

  Say a poster starts a thread like slave, or jwman.
  If it's just junk don't post to it and it will just get buried in a short time.

  It's that simple, were adults if we don't like a thread let it die a natural death.

  jterfehr,

  I think you make a valid point.
  Simon has the 3 thread starting limit and 25 post a day.
  If he took JWman off because he was Escargot then why not take other off for the same ofense.
  I too have been DF'd wrongly and feel a certain sadness for this Judicial decision.
  Perhaps just deativate one account and make it aply accross the all board.
  But it's Simon's board and he's the boss, but I would like to apeal to his fairness and kindness.
