You shouldn’t feel a need to recriminate posters because no one in this thread backed the ideas that JW should be murdered. Posters disagreed vehemently about JW beliefs and activities, but you started this thread assuming everyone would jump for joy at their murder.
That was offensive.
dougie_monty - I’ve written three different responses to your ‘recrimination’ post - others have said it better - I’ll simply offer this advise -

To what end, from your standpoint? I am hard put to come to any conclusion other than that you would prefer than someone posting here did NOT oppose you. If there is some other answer, fine. But I do not care to dwell on the subject matter as reported from Ciudad Juárez and I assume you don’t either.
I know a guy whose car door got dinged in a mall parking lot last weekend. He’s episcopalian. I’m seeing dougie’s point here!!
You take unfortunate incidents, the type that happen to all too often, and spin them into a persecution complex a mile-wide. You use that complex to assume the worst about people and feel no obligation to apologize or rethink your positions when faced with evidence to the contrary.
Because you appear to be suffering from delusions involving paranoia and persecution, specifically that there is a large group of people on this message board (and perhaps in the world in general) who specifically delight in hearing of the deaths of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
**IvoryTowerDenizen **and Ferret Herder have both answered it - and your ‘conclusion’ is incorrect, as most (if not all) of them are, I welcome opposing positions in a discussion - its how we learn.
When I don’t want to dwell on subject matter, I don’t tend to try to start a thread about.
I know, I know. Wacky atheist thinking.
Thats just crazy enough to work!
It’s not often you see a trainwreck where the train jumps onto a new set of rails and crashes again.
dougie_monty and the temple of doom?
I have begun to feel like the golfer who tried to practice his drives in a tile bathroom and received one too many lumps on the noggin…
Well, I’m sorry. It would haver been better had I not brought up either incident.
Oh–please spare me the Indiana Jones allusion. I hate Spielberg. :rolleyes:

No, Spielburg.
And it was a truly grand allusion! (Unless Really Not All That Bright and simster had set it up ahead of time as a scripted one-two punch. And even then, it’s still a darn good jape!)
Aha! Now you see the REAL reason people oppose you on this board: you hate Spielberg.
Couldn’t have been set up in advance - it took six hours for me to figure out the reference. :smack:
I’m sure dougie will take it the wrong way, but all I have to say about that story is that it would probably have come out the same if they had been atheists, or Catholics, or Baptists, or Muslims, or Jews. They shouldn’t have gotten into debt to murderous assholes. It never goes well. So… uhhh… meh?
It seems that JW’s need to be persecuted - according to them this is set forth in the Bible, it brings them closer to God although (according to upthread posts) it doesn’t necessarily get them into heaven. So - if persecution is your schtick, and you went to 50 houses in a day - what would be a good day? One where a handful of people listened to you (I’m guessing this is the norm) or one where most everyone embraced you? If everyone embraced you wouldn’t that go against your penchant for persecution? Correct me if 'm wrong but isn’t it a peculiarity of JW’s that they take pride in their persecution?
The other guy created him.
