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

  by StarTrekAngel in

  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.

  I do apologize to Eden for the "expect" hell comment. That was out of line in every way

  As long as you keep the accusation of me of being a liar and an hypocrite, save your words - apology not accepted.

  In my opinion, JWN is a fantastic asset for all those who are sitting on the fence or simply on the early stages of doubting the Watchtower Organization. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of anonymous JWs are lurking and reading the threads on this forum, trying to make an accessment about what the so-called "apostates" are saying. There is the potential to make a lot of good in helping these people. But when confrontational people use this forum to bully others, beating them to a pulp just because they hold a different opinion than their own (or even a neutral opinion), then the potential to scare and terrorize those lurkers is also huge. These people who are fearfully secretly disobeying the GB and looking at dissenting views may be discouraged because they may fear to be ridiculed and bullied and will quickly retract to the 'safety' of the Organization. The hateful attitude of some here will only validate their fears that apostates are bitter, angry and hateful people. So, in fact, those bullies are doing a favor to the Watchtower and the Governing Body.

  What exactly is "that" type of behavior?

  Resorting to name-calling and condescending, derogatory remarks aimed directly at the person that is defending an idea or opinion or belief that you don't agree with. That is the behavior at question.

  You could always not responding.

  True. And that exchange won't have my contribution anymore. But I ask you now: Do you personally condone that type of behavior? Just curious.

  After I said on a previous post that I wasn't willing to go and dig up old threads to prove my point, you resorted to sarcasm to criticize me for that, and covertly affirmed that if I truly believed in "urbanity", I should back up my point with evidence. Since you haven't desisted by leaving it at that, I considered that you have, on the contrary, insisted on it. Hence, I don't see how have I substantively lied about it to warrant such a ferocious retort.

  But since you so lightly accuse me of being a liar, and then attempt to damage my reputation by suggesting that everything I say may be suspect, I won't even give you the dignity to continue this exchange. If you want a stage to perform your propaganda techniques, that won't happen at my expense. You won't be able to stir anything else on me but an urge to puke.

  What you just did to me is the ultimate example of name-calling and derogatory remarks that I was talking about before that are unhealthy for this forum and are detrimental for people who come here in search of help. I think you should ask yourself if your drive for confrontation is welcome here. And Simon should ask himself if this continued type of behavior should be allowed to continue in this forum. Because if it is, then I will ask myself if I should continue to come here, for this is no better than the relentless bully witch-hunting that the JW Elders served me with until my JC.

  The legal exposure of being an elder is sufficient reason to avoid it like a poison chalice.

  ^^This. If I hadn't stepped down years ago, this would be reason enough to convince me to step down now.
