I tried to be the good guy but, strangely enough, I have integrity. Not to you, not to anyone else, to me.

I tried to refrain from posting insults but it's not who I am. It felt wrong and it felt dishonest.

Besides, all you guys are playing it slowly, slowly catchy monkey.

Maybe that's right.

Maybe it's not right.

Maybe these jovies should feel what I feel and why. Maybe it will speed things up if they really understood the venom that some of us have and why.

Maybe they should understand that there's a range of feelings out here. Maybe they should see them all. Maybe one will hit home.

Don't make the mistake that one size fits all.

You have a nice day y'hear?

I'll always be polite to you. You deserve it.

Given your history it's understandable that you hate religion, but I find your use of made up terms to be annoying and it's hard to take you seriously because of it.

Please feel free not to.

We all have had our moments of making fun of the Watchtower and religion in general, but most of us moved on at some point. You may want to think about why you still have a lot of anger towards your parents.

I loved my parents. They were the best parents anyone could ever have had. Why do you think that I hated them? Have you even read my post?

One of the goals of this board it to help those who are leaving or at least having doubts about the Watchtower. They may very well be turned off by your use of such terms and not stick around to learn more that could help them get free of the Watchtower.

Some people are mild mannered on this forum, some are less so. It's as well that people see the whole range of feelings, not just the mild mannered ones. They need to understand that some of us have feelings that go deep and are strong. They need to understand why too. That's reality. On some forums, I am considered very polite and very mild mannered. If you think that I'm extreme, you need to get out more.

They have been conditioned to think that all us apostates are evil, horrible people who want to tear down the faith of others.

I do want to tear down faith and religion.

This fear is so strong that even if they hate the Watchtower they may be hesitant to come here. I myself didn't find this site until eight years after leaving the Watchtower, even as I knew it was not the truth.

That's their issue not mine. They need to deal with it.. My attitude may/may not cause jovies to leave. Who knows. Anybody done a survey?

Yes, Jesus "had a mouth" on him. His mouth was directed to the hypocrites leading his religion not to the humble Jews who suffered under their hammer.

Nuance.

Someone who didn't exist can't say anything.

I disagree with using derogatory epithets for groups.

"christard" is a conflation or christian and retard.

Many christians I know are intelligent, caring and generous people.

I oppose their religious beliefs but I would never insult their character.

I have read your posts and enjoyed them.

Chistard is actually a conflation of christian and b**tard.

Anyone who believes in a sky wizard deserves derision.

If you haven't read my post at the head of this thread please do. You will then better understand why I feel the way I do.

Have a nice day.

Christian Arrogance

jw
friends

maybe arrogance is not the right word but i can find no other that describes what i see.

the idea expressed by some christians on this board is that somehow god specifically chose them.

i'll quote perry as an example as his post inspired this thread.

Yes. Arrogance will do fine.

Hitler "ONLY" murdered 10 million souls.

Christards murdered between 100 - 200 million in their history.

It says it all when christards are between 10 - 20 times more evil than Hitler.

Christards pretend to be sweetness and light and then hide behind their christardology whilst behaving as paedophiles.

To lurking potential jovies and current jovies:

Be aware what some people in this society think of you and aren't afraid to say it and either don't go in or, if you are in, get out.

I have no issue with those who have left the religtards.

Problems with Common Atheist Arguments

by FusionTheism in

the reason i entitled this "problems with common atheist arguments" instead of "the case against atheism" is that many atheists claim that atheism is not a belief system, makes no claims, and has no requirements to follow, so there's no way to argue against atheism itself.

i will go along with this idea, and argue against the most frequently used arguments of atheists instead of atheism itself.disclaimer # 1: this is not an argument against atheism or all atheists.

no, rather this is an argument against the most frequently used claims and arguments made by the atheists i speak to on twitter.

There is nothing wrong with atheist arguments - nothing, nada, nichts, ingenting.

The only issue I have with some atheist comments is that they seem to forget that theist arguments are attached to sensitive feelings.

How ya doing'?

We hurt their feelings. They murdered us.

They will recover. We didn't.

Who or What is the Holy Spirit?

by FusionTheism in

tradition within christianity has long been that any time the phrases holy spirit, holy ghost, or spirit of godare used in the bible (especially in the new testament), it always refers to the mysterious third divine person of the trinity, who is fully god, co-equal to the father and son, yet somehow distinct.. i want to present a simplified alternative view: let the context determine the meaning!.

(one thing to keep in mind is that the meaning of the bible words used for spirit basically is unseen force or invisible presence.).

the holy spirit as the mind and personality of god.
