  Flipper

  obviously, most of us know that flipper always respond to everybody's posts everytime he starts a topic, i think he is the only one on this board that will respond to everyone in his own threads.

  i would think it would be too much work for me or anyone here on this board to respond to everyone.

  is that a good thing or bad thing?

  Hi Flipper! I'm such a newbie here (and feel like one too!!) but I've read a lot of your posts and comments on other topics and you seem like such a warm, positive person. I look forward to getting to know you better and learning from you. I hope to emulate your kindness in every aspect of my life.

  Cheers!

  Its wise not to be judgemental!

  by acolytes in

  i have noticed that some posters can sometimes become critical of how another posted has behaved .

  i believe this critisisam is oftern based on a lack of knowledge of what is acceptable behaviour of the poster in the country they are from.

  (ie in a poster could say i remember doing blah blah blah and a poster from an other land can take offence).

  I agree about avoiding 'judgmentalism' (great new word, btw). The one thing that used to drive me crazy as a witness was the passive encouragement from the platform and publications to be judgmental. Out of one side of their mouths, it's wrong to judge our 'brothers and sisters' but from the other side the constant regulations and suggestions that not following them means that you're weak spiritually inevitably causes judging. Since my departure and my last couple of years as a witness, I made a personal choice to never judge another person - even if I strongly disagree with their viewpoints. It's hard sometimes and it's something I'm always working on, but it's important to remember that unless we've actually lived in another person's skin and experienced their life through their eyes, it's impossible to know how they truly feel or exactly what we would do in their shoes.

  ...just my 2 cents...

  The Watchtower hates the word, "You"

  dozy brought up a good point a few months back about how the wt uses third party terminology to obscure their real motives.

  i thought it was a good idea to revisit this wt writing technique.. (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/184897).

  look at the nov 15th 2009 wt, "treasure your place in the congregation" and compare what happens when we replace the third party terminology (words in bold type) with first party words.
