Question and answers for fisherperson regardingy time at bethel

by _Morpheus in

so fisherperson sent me a pm asking a bunch of questions re my time at beth hell.

rather than respond in a pm i will post the q/a here as i have nothing to hide.

q:what years did you serve in brooklyn bethel?

Viviane

wannaexit did not try to have authority where she/he has none. wannaexit did no more than share an opinion. Folks have them. Get used to folks sharing them. Otherwise you'll forever find yourself annoyed and attempting to 'call out' behavior that is perfectly normal and acceptable.
"If ...then stop doing that"? Oh dear! Is that an attempt to have authority where you have none?

Of course it's not an attempt. Wanna exit offered her opinion, unsolicited, to tell the entire group what to do. In response she got an answer. She didn't like the answer, she was given free and accurate advice on how to avoid not liking the consequence of her actions.

As far as what "getting used" to things, I am used to people making unfounded and wrong assumptions, like whether or not I am annoyed. You've done nothing more than be utterly ordinary in not knowing what you don't know and thinking you do.

Oh Dear Viv aren't we prickly

I don't know at all if you are. What I can tell you is that if you don't like being called out for trying to have authority where you have none, then stop doing that.

People should learn more about the Bible flaws

by opusdei1972 in

i have noted that the main problem for those who are seduced by the watchtower society is their ignorance about the bible itself.

people who believe that the bible is the word of god usually ignore the studies on textual criticism and how scientific criteria forbid absurd stories like that of the global flood.

so, i strongly believe that students in schools need at least an obligatory course on "the bible" through the point of view of science and the textual criticism.

Viviane

So if someone can actually PROVE that Adam never had intercourse with Eve, then bring it on. Otherwise, simply doubting the story until proven is just a personal choice.

Done.

Now we should all move on.

No one is forcing you to stay. It's also not your purview to tell everyone else what to do.

Viv, you may have an acid tongue at times, but I still love ya.

I've no patience for the lazy and willfully stupid, but my tongue... it's like snuggling into a blanket next to a fire on Christmas morning with a warm cup of hot cocoa.

When have I ever resorted to insults to divert attention from a discussion, please show me.

Well, you did write this about Morpheus in a thread a few months, back, the one where you attempted to claim Cofty and I are the same person, said I was mentally unbalanced and showed some pretty hefty misogyny when you claimed my posts we're illogical, unlike a man's posts, all after creepily trying to call me by pet names...

Poor Morpheus' lack of intelligence.Must resort to diverting attention by posting things about me instead of addressing the subject matter of this thread and the argument in my post. What a clown!

So, you know, there's those times you insulted people rather than argue your points, so, you know. There you go. Ask and ye shall receive.

Is that not what the "Conquistadores" told the Indians after raping their women, taking their land and stealing their gold?

Surely you don't have a problem with those good Christians, do you?

You do not see anything wrong with making fun of my name and you do not see anything wrong with broadcasting a PM. You only note my response. You are also a moron.

And thus we see the idiocy inherent in the system.

Jesus Christ explains the particle used in my cosmology theory using parables in the bible.

by Aleon in

i wrote a cosmology theory using an expanding particle shaped as a perfect sphere.

in the bible jesus christ speaks of this particle in his parables.

this is good news!.

Viviane

Aleon, I read your paper. First, you make a grave mistake by using the word "theory". A theory is supported by observable evidence, experiment and has predictive capability shown to be true. You have none of that.

You also don't have a hypothesis. A hypothesis has at the very minimum fasifiability. You've provided none of that. At best, you have an undeveloped idea.

Another problem is your use of false equivalency. You are attempting to equate your ideas with Einstein's ideas on relativity.His ideas started as hypothesis, showed predictive power and were proven by experiment and observations hundreds of times over.

So far, you've provided your ideas with no way to verify or test them, no predictive ability, etc., and only an attempt at a false equivalency and insult to others intelligence to defend them.

What exactly, given the facts, do you think you have?

Theists, why does God allow suffering..

by The Quiet One in

..specifically, the suffering of animals.

you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.

i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

Viviane

I can see where you're coming from Viv. But the last chapter is going to one of peace and happiness and eternal life for people. Those people will understand the ultimate love God has for mankind.

No, there is no "but" here. If I neglect my children, beat them, etc., it doesn't make all of that OK because I made sure to save up for their college education and buy them a car.

Your god is a moral reprobate and a dick.
