i fail to see why people such as alice in wonderland, bane and others, are regularly singled out as tolls.
demands are repeatedly made that they are shunned and thrown off the forum; while people like perry, who rant on with pages of controversial drivel, are considered acceptable?.
i personaly don't view any of them as trolls, just people who feel a need to stand up for what they believe.

"Perhaps it would be mindful not to confuse the ethics of an internet discussion group with your personal feelings for someone close to you."
Wow! Now you know my personal feelings do you? It's not enough to discuss the facts and merits of the subject being discussed but you attempt to make this a personal thing now? Why is that? Why the personal attack? I have no personal interest in this thread. What I seek is common sense.

Wasblind,
In the KH we were not allowed to freely speak in disagreement. Here we are. Does it make sense to disallow a JW from speaking freely here when we claim to be free of the JW religion? So Alice says stupid and insulting stuff, does that mean we must read it or respond to it? No. Every time we respond to an insulting JW we encourage them to continue insulting us. Rather than getting upset with what what they say how about ignoring their threads altogether? Eventually they'll move on and freedom of conscience will be preserved for them and us.

"If you want to be nice to those who despise what you believe, what you value, essentially who you are, go for it. But I don't go to their website and stir shit up for fun."
Jehovah's Witnesses who post here are posting on a site that welcomes them to do so. JWN describes itself as: "The place to discuss anything relating to Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society... or just make new friends"
Perhaps JWN should welcome only those who have left the JW religion. That way no rude JW will come here and make trouble.

This is not work, this is the internet and JWN is an exJW discussion board. If we expect JWs to toughen up and accept what's thrown at them why should we cry foul when they do the same?

"Rubbing salt in a fresh wound" goes on every day in the lives of many people. Are exJWs the only ones who suffer and who endure ridicule and harsh words thrown at them? No.
Are JWs expected to read the "truth" about their religion? Yes. Is it hurtful, you bet! But as former Witnesses we need a soft pillow while posting on the internet? Not gonna happen! As long as we expect JWs to endure the truth as harsh as it may be we should expect that harsh arrows come our way as well. If that's too hard then we should not be posting on exJW boards.

If Alice was so irritating why was she encouraged to post? If she was so annoying why were her threads so popular? She and others like her are encouraged here, they provide a form of entertainment. And like a boxer who boxes his opponent to the floor many here enjoy the fight and at the end also enjoy the accolades for winning. I find it rather hypocritical to punch Alice in the mouth when the reality of it all is that she was encouraged to continue posting by those who engaged her in her threads.
i detest the religion of jehovah's witnesses.
deeply.
anyone who has followed my posting here for the past 6 years can attest to that!.
Many times it's Trinity verses non-Trinity. Trinitarian fundamentalists have an itch in their backside when it comes to JWs.
i'm convinced jw's are under sooo much brainwashing and fully indoctrinated that their brains are disabled.
they will never analyze or question any beliefs.
it is all about the emotions, their brains are literally paralyzed.
"Good reasons for remaining? Fear of Armageddon? Fear of being shunned? Fear of losing conditional friends who you cannot really trust or be the real you... you have to constantly fake and be acting...
The pretty much sums it up."
How about family? How about not wanting to lose family? Or maybe truly believing in the basics of the religion and feeling there is no other local religion that teaches the basics of no hellfire and no Trinity? How about elderly parents? How about loving a way of life? How about the fact that JWs have the freedom to remain even though they see the faults just because they want to?
Or do JWs have to live as others believe they should?

"If they recognize what is going on, and yet they continue doing it even when they know what is happening, that proves my point. They are under mind control and cannot easily leave."
My goodness. Ever think they have good reasons for remaining?
