  On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.

  i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.

  it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

  Some posters must write from the heart, and they should be at liberty to do so. They cannot do that if the ideas from the heart are crushed without sensitivity.

  I Hate the Sound of the Word Jehovah

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  listening to clips of the latest manipulative video from the watchtower i realised how much i detest that word - jehovah.. sometimes i have thought it would be interesting to observe a meeting or part of a convention.

  every time i heard that word i would be unable to stay in my seat.. i have a visceral reaction every time i hear it.

  it stands for so much that i have contempt for.

  I think hate comes from powerful passions. So hating the name " Jehover" when you do not believe he exists is I assume based on the moral authority people have attached to that name?

  If that is the case, it is no small matter, but to hate surrealism is still tragic. The bible to me has created some powerful characters, and if you don't believe in their existence "my" opinion is why hate something that doesn't exist?

  Farewell

  by EdenOne in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  "don't be dismayed by good-byes.

  a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.

  and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

  In my opinion, I think there is a distinction between how some treat being in hyperspace to how they would face to face communication. Hyperspace communication can also be extremely sensitive, and communicating in harmony more difficult.

  I would therefore like to take this opportunity to apologise to Oubliette for not adhering to my above words and allowing friction to develop between us. But perhaps more importantly although I doubt you know who Iam , EdenOne, I would like you to know many of your posts had a very positive impact on me.

  Take care always.

  It's a shame that debates can cause such tragic conflicts, And I think for most posters it's impossible not to become emotionally effected, when a discussion turns in to a battle. Some posters certainly make more enemies than others.

  How confident are you about various so called facts?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  no facts about the world are absolutely certain.

  that being the case i wonder how others would rank amd rate their confidence in various factual statements about the world.

  i am going to rate my confidence in ten items of "knowledge" as a percentage.

  My personal view is I hope I am at worst 55% right most of the time. If I believe Iam 75% right I think that would be more because I allow my thinking to be changed, and alter my viewpoint. But if I were to say I am100% right I would expect to be called a fanatic.

  I accepted the challenge Cofty. I guess my above answer may appear incomprehensible, possibly even stupid, but personally I think its plausible. So let's say i think it's possibly,personally plausible.

  Viviane " I've no idea what your talking about."

  The Rebel ( A) what's new, you have had that problem with me, since our first communication.

  Have a nice evening Viviane.

  Viviane: you quote me as saying " each persons reality is in my opinion to be respected"

  The Rebel ( A) It's easy to part quote a sentence or paragraph and take it out of context. I learnt that from the watchtower publications. But unlike when the watchtower quote out of context what I actually wrote is easily accessible to be read in its full context by any poster.

  As this O.P is " On the respect of the beliefs of others..." Rather than go off topic, I will take some Dr Phill advice and not engage in any further perdantic details.

  Viviane. Do you support the " reality" of NAMBLA.

  The Rebel ( A) No.

  Viviane. Antivaxxers and the religious who choose to let their children die rather than claiming and get reality care are claiming is real.

  The Rebel ( A) No.

  But what I actually wrote was a question. My question was:- Does a deliberate marketing of your thoughts make them a reality? And to help clarify that question I gave this illustration.

  The fact is you chose that " icon" and your " username" to market your thoughts, so unless my observations are incorrect you are marketing your thoughts, and that makes your thoughts as Einstein would say " Reality is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one" a very interesting illusion. And each persons reality in my opinion is to be respected, not the power of the organisation, the media or the individual to confuse and corrupt other people to brilliant and sincere thoughts that may be wrong

  So to clarify when I said " each persons reality in my opinion is to be respected" I was was referring to how an individual's opinion shouldn't be influenced by an organisation, the media or any individual friend to be confused and corrupted by other people.

  So to reiterate:-

  A . No I do not support NAMBLA

  B. Nor do i support any religiouse, individual or organisation that would allow a child to die due to correct medical care.

  But then again it's easy to part quote a paragraph or sentence and take it out of context. I learnt that from watchtower publications.
