gb member and so called "annointed" person geoffry jackson is caught red handed on video doing some worldly dancing and sexual gyrating (they have spoken against such manner of dancing on several occasions) with a woman who is not his wife!!!

i can only imagine what they do off camera now!!!.

i would not have even considerd doing such a thing on the dance floor with a woman, especially if it was not my wife, and i'm not even one of the so called "annointed" smh!!!

Adjustments left Rational-land a long time ago. The more he talks it appears he is leaving Sane-ville. Loose conduct????????? WTF???????

As I see it, the more human the members of the GB can be and act the better it will be for the rank and file.

2 Samuel 6:14 - And David danced before the LORD with all [his] might; and David [was] girded with a linen ephod.

Ecclesiastes 3:4 - A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

Psalms 30:11 - Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

Exodus 15:20 - And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

1 Chronicles 15:29 - And it came to pass, [as] the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

This OP is a disaster from the beginning. It should have ended with Island Man's very kind and accurate response: "ADJUSTMENTS, I totally agree with lurkernomore, Zoos and steve2. I can understand that you may have been hurt badly by the teachings and policies of the religion, but you need to try hard not to let your hatred/hurt cloud your judgment, causinig you to look for evil in every action of every GB member. If anything, that video only served to prove that Jackson is not a worldly party animal as evidenced by his poor dancing skills. Sexual gyrating? Really? "

Most everyone has agreed with Island Man, and yet you remain arroganly and childishly entrenched, launching personal attacks against those who disagree with you. We have had a run of those this week. First, Inbyathread, then Coded Logic and now you. Dumbass OPs followed by mostly kind disagreements and deconstructions of the premise, resulting in entrenched, arrogant, childish responses from the owners of the OP.

Attack me if that makes you feel big. You evidently need something. The great thing about this site is you can research everyone's posting history. I'm one of the most open minded, non-judgmental and liberal members. I've gotten into more arguments supporting gays, masturbators, gay marriage, those wrongly accused or those who seek to rush to judgment against others, including current memberes of the Borg, by making this a kangaroo court. I also loathe the GB and everything they stand for. But I see no wrong in the video, and attempts to 'read' darkness into it suggests the major problem is in the interpreters.

But your response is predictable. By all means continue. You are making it easy on the rest of us to know what to expect for the rest of your OPs and comments and try to avoid you when possible.

I will take that as an apology for all those you attacked. And please, pray tell, how I am a pot or kettle???

Let me rephrase it for the 60 plus viewers per post:

Your attack on those disagreeing with you was childish and irrational.

You can say thank you now.

Interpretation certainly is. Your judgmental black and white attitude is the worst part of this OP. I'm an atheist, but as I recall, didn't David dance "Footloose?" Or was that Kevin Bacon? I can't remember.

Your attack on those disagreeing with you is immature and reactionary.

Island Man,

Ditto. I saw nothing offensive. Old dude trying to have fun; no one seemed offended by him. Smacking ass? Looks like he was just losing his balance. But a man sees what he wants to see. An awfuly lot is being read into this by the commentary in both places.

The Illusion of Superiority

by Coded Logic in

after reading dozens and dozens of posts and hundreds of comments, it seems to me that a great many people on this forum think that since they figured out ttatt, they must therefore be a highly intelligent and incredibly rational individual.

let me take a moment to congratulate everyone.

its a big step to figure this out - i know.. that said, it doesn't make you a genius!

DJS

CL,

My points to you were spot on, without defect. I did exaggerate a bit about the 'great many' being everyone but you, but my hyperbole was intended to make you think. Obviously you missed that point. I'm a lot of things. Cute is not one of them. You probably aren't capable of tying my shoelaces. Again, everything I stated to you was spot on. Learn from it, and others such as Bohm. Or don't and continue to present yourself as an arrogant jerk.

You insulted almost everyone on this site; your presentation skills suck. You drew conclusions without supporting evidence and made definitive statements, again, without evidence. That falls into the dumbass category. I was nice the first time. I won't be again. There are a lot of highly intelligent and highly educated people on this site; you don't appear to be one of them.

CL,

I think I understand what you are trying to accomplish. When I first came on the site a year ago I was amazed at the lack of understanding that many had about simple debating skills. Debates are about two things: facts and the correct interpretation (logic) associated with those facts. Anything that isn't about those two things is a tactic or an irrational, emotional response.

You kinda sorta violated your own OP in your opening sentence, which is possibly why some have responded as they have. Note:

"After reading dozens and dozens of posts and hundreds of comments, it seems to me that a great many people on this forum think that since they figured out TTATT, they must therefore be a highly intelligent and incredibly rational individual."

"Great many" is offensive and an irrational, likely unsupported by the facts, statement. Great many means kinda sorta everyone but you.

And you made definitive 'conclusions' about why the great many are responding as you describe, that they "think that since they figured out TTATT, they must therefore be a highly intelligent and incredibly rational individual." That's an unsupported, likely erroneous, definitive statement. Have you any data which supports such a definitive statement?

So don't be surprised that a 'great many' haven't responded in a touchy feeling manner. Your presentation skills can stand some improvement. I agree with you that a lack of understanding about what constitutes debate and how to logically construct or de-construct an argument need some assistance, but your presentation failed to adequately provide it.

Try again (big smiley face). I'm on your side.

Your views and ideas on forum areas and organization?

by Simon in

this may come as a shock to some people, but the current forum structure was kind of thrown together without much real thought and then evolved a bit over time.

there are a few things that particularly grate on me and areas where i don't think the subjects work particularly well.

'friends' is a bit vague and becomes a dumping ground, news & world events vs politics & current affairs is hard to decide sometimes, child abuse is a scandal but isn't contained withing 'scandals & coverups' etc.... with a new forum platform imminent, it's a good time to solicit ideas to improve things.

More Paris stuff,

I've reviewed your posts since you joined a little over a month with no introduction: Hates men, Supports the segregation of atheists away from theists. Paints with a broad brush. Hates elders (men), Likes to talk about science but I can't freaking figure out what she is saying.

All of these things are identical to Village Girl.

Village Girl. Hello young lady. Nice to see you again.

Cofty,

I don't know if Paris is VG, but there are a lot of similarities. Both paint with broad brushes, both have an obsession and hatred for elders and are quick to use it as a strawman and both will completely ignore data that doesn't support their views. Paris: I agree that most people believe in a god of some type; can you agree with the equally excellent empirical data that suggests the more secular and atheistic a country/region/state is the more likely it is functional, educated and intelligent??? Because that's what the data - a lot of it - suggests. That does not mean, Paris, that all theists are stupid or that all atheists are smart. I have qualified this data numerous times. A little humility on your part would be to simply: a. agree; b. be silent; or c. refute it with equally valid empirical data. You haven't done any of those things yet, but those are your only real grown-up alternatives. Ad hominem attacks don't count, but to this point that's all you got. And that too is just like VG.

Or will you attack me that I always have to be right? For a newbie you certainly have canned ad hominem attacks prepared for people you shouldn't know. And don't give me the researching the site crap. I think Cofty is right.

HOW TO AVOID THE A-HOLE SPIRIT OF SOME HERE...

Lawyers are all money grabbing, ambulance chasing, charlatans. So BOTR, if every few weeks someone came on this site and spewed this nonsense, I think you would have more than a little bit to say about it. And yet you think the theists who spew such nonsense about how atheists are war mongering, baby killing whores is not starting something??????? I have never started a war or killed any babies!! (2 out of 3 aint bad).

I would stand up for lawyers if such nonsense was spewed. I would stand up for theists if such nonsense was spewed. I do not see you or any other of the theists standing up for atheists when such nonsense is typed into the keyboards of dumbass theists (don't hate me because I'm right Paris). ANYONE making definitive statements which are completely wrong is a dumbass, including atheists.

The data we present is very good empirical data. Attacking those presenting it is childish, churlish, immature and tells all the lurkers you have no case. Deconstruct the data or hush. It's really that simple. There is likely no significant difference between the average theist and the average atheist in intelligence, etc., but the data suggests over a large population there are certain differences. Take it up with those conducting the research, but attacking me because I used to be an elder, which has absolutely nothing to do with this, or that you think (Paris) that I have to always be right (when all I am doing is defending myself) (BOTR) is so tepidly weak and childish that I really don't have to respond.

And BOTR, like you I wish the back and forth silliness would stop. Most of my friends are theists. I love them. I would die for most of them. They are smart, bright, caring, decent people. But so are my athiest friends. There. I'm through with this topic. For now anyway.
