Well, it would depend on what people are looking for when they explore The Pit. I don’t think it’s for the dabbler.
Straight lines…alla time straight lines… 
You know, your idea of “fun” sounds more like “sadism” to me.
You seem to have forgotten one of your own points: When I mentioned that surgeons had worked out procedures for bloodless surgery you said they were not doing it just for Witnesses. Fine. Now you do an about-face and call the whole matter “rampantly stupid,” suggesting to me you change the rules so that you are always in the right. If I am wrong on that, please show me where.
And you call me stupid or paranoid, then you complain about “constant threats.” You shouldn’t be surprised. If I said that to someone on the street I would get a punch in the nose! What makes you any better?
where did I say it was ‘my’ idea of fun ??? here again, you go attributing feelings and actions to the wrong individual.
You’re rampantly stupid with your notions for ‘why’ you avoid blood transfusions and you get your information on them from a source that has been shown to lie and twist the truth - especially in matters related to science and medicine.
This has nothing to do with the medical community’s desire to find more and better ways to do procedures that benefit all people - You’re implication that they ONLY did it because of the JW is also blatantly stupid.
Perhaps because I’m not threatening to punch you in the nose? YOU are the one that continues to bring threats (or implications) of physical violence when you get ‘upset’ when you are called on your lunacy.
If I were in an environment such as this - being treated as you are - I would simply leave and never return - which strongly suggests that you are only here to get the attention… you certainly aren’t able to keep up a battle of wits or even a strong debate, you simply lack the skillset and prerequisite knowledge.
Perhaps because I am not a paranoid lunatic, I’ve never been called one - I ahve been called an asshole, a prick and a number of other things (many people do not like being called out on thier idiotic notions) - not once have I felt the need to ‘punch them in the nose’ - that you continue to feel these needs for violent displays shows your true nature - and is something you should consider working on if you ever want to have a civil debate or conversation.
And what are your medical credentials?
You question our assessment that you are a deluded, possibly psychotic, fool, and yet we are supposed to take your word that a quote from 19-freaking-52 is still (if it ever was) the acme of medical understanding? You do know that we (the non-JWs) have done some pretty nifty things since Truman went back to Independence, like heart transplants, the eradication of smallpox, and cloning, right?
Oh, for fuck’s sake - that was my post, not simster’s, that you were apparently attempting to quote, but ended up mangling in your inimtable “style”.
And it’s not a matter of holding movies in “high esteem” - it’s a matter of you evidently not understanding matters of context and proportion, like you were Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer 2.0.
No few times, I have felt the passing desire to punch various people in the nose. But just as many times – perhaps more! – I’ve been glad that no one has developed the “Boxing Glove in the Monitor” app. (I hear that Toontown scientists are working on it diligently. Better living through animation!)
I would pay dearly for the ‘smack on the back of the head’ app -
Hey, be fair.
Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer was pretty savvy. Everybody else in the courtroom, on the other hand…

Sorry, Tapatalk pocket-posted that one.
Sometimes I post just for my own amusement.
See?
Do you like Phil Collins? I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins’ presence became more apparent.
I think Invisible Touch was the group’s undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism.
Take the lyrics to “Land of Confusion”. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. “In Too Deep” is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I’ve heard in rock.
Touché.
Why “of course”?
I’ve never heard anyone use that phrase. I’ve got a number of childless friends, and in a few cases, it’s a medical condition, but in most it’s a choice. But those friends wouldn’t say “of course”.
But if you’re shy, or protecting someone’s secret, fell free to skip the question.
Isn’t that by Duran Duran?
Yup, you beat me to it.
You?
