there is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.
been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.
however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.
I never said it was tactless to address lies or irrational viewpoints but it can be done with tact, humility and kindness.
Yes, it can be. I used exactly the amount of tact, humility and kindness appropriate for a person I believe to be a retread of a cult recruiter.
Going all out on the OP headstrong who is relatively new on the boards is something that must be taken with great caution.
It is my belief that this person is not new in the least.
Have a good day.
You as well.

Actually, let him speak even if he is instead of jumping all over him!
No one is stopping or attempting to stop DW from speaking.
but it appears to me that Deltawave is simply another disenchanted JW, looking for mature discussion. Too bad it got derailed by certain ones calling him a liar.
DW is promoting BK teachings, a group who has previously tried to recruit for their cult here. Why is it a bad thing to suggest someone is a BK if they are promoting BK teachings?
With regard to the lying, DW was telling lies. Why is calling a lie exactly what it is a bad thing?

I have been ridiculed for saying that I still feel spiritual even though I don't believe in God
No one should do that.
I would never ridicule someone for expressing a belief in God, as I see no point to it.
I've not seen anyone do that.

However the delta wave is the brain wave of someone asleep. So if I as trying to promote another cult or sect I would have chosen alpha wave which is to be awake Haha
That is 100% a BK teaching. I am pretty sure we've covered this ground before...

Don't mind the rude behaviour of some posters on here.
It is true that if you are highly opinionated on here and try to present those opinions as fact some posters will tactlessly try to jump on you.
I it very curious you think is tactless to jump on an expose lies. On an completely unrelated note, I have this amazing wheat to sell you.
The rude behavior is the lie in the first place, not the exposure of it.
asked a friend of mine this question the other day.
here was his answer: "well, because paul said, 'all scripture is inspired of god...'".
but seriously, that argument is like saying, "the bible is inspired because it says so!

I have a problem with the reality that you're an abuser.
You should have a problem with keeping track of all the things you make up. You should look into a spreadsheet to keep track of it all.

I do however feel there is some validity in what teachers such as Jesus, Bhudda and Muhammad said in terms of living a life that isn't based solely around superficial things such as money, holidays and fashion!
It's amazing that, with zero exposure to the BK teachings, managed to pick a user name very specific to their teachings and then promote their very specific teachings in your postings, even promoting them as you attempt to deny them.

t's one thing to tell me: "You're wrong. Because..."
It's another thing to say: "You're dishonest."
The first I take it well. The second, I don't. It's not about compartmentalization; it's about urbanity.
Again, I can't help it if you have a problem with reality.

I have, but you don't think it qualifies as a personal attack / insult. I beg to differ
You misrepresenting what I said is nothing new. You don't have to beg, either.
It's certainly not my imagination when I'm the object of it, perhaps you can ask your interlocutor if he/she felt personally offended by your remark.
It's not your imagination. I can't help it if you getting called out for making false statements feels like a personal attack to you. You just need to hone your debate skills and learn to compartmentalize your arguments from your person.
Besides, it is perfectly possible to insult someone all the while staying on topic. I recommend you reading "Churchill's Wit" for an example of that.
Don't misrepresent people and your problem will go away.
