Hurting People On TOL

[zoo22]

In your own words:
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice

But of course, those aren't his words. He just uses them to hide behind.

Should one, while posting on tol, be sensitive to the emotional fragility of others and post in such a manner as to be sensitive to their feelings?

Absolutely.

and no, i'm not talking about deliberately picking at a sore spot, like a disability or loss in the other poster's past

i'm talking about the normal type of discourse that has been happening on tol for the past fourteen years, where those with bizarre beliefs and behaviors, resistant to gentle language and persuasion, persist in their nonsense

iow, is truthsmacking passe?

Truth smacking is never accomplished with petty comments and toss of insults. It can only be accomplished with well reasoned positions offered in a respectful manor. That does not mean that you can't call a hypocrite a hypocrite or a heretic a heretic. It does mean that repeatedly calling people "tards" is not truth smacking, it is simply childish.

 

[resurrected]

...I generally prefer a more rational type of discourse.

when are you planning on starting? :banana:

Are you expecting a response from Town?

oh my goodness no, please

the tol servers are taxed enough already




:think:

does that make tol a tea party site?

zoo, Jesus Christ died for your redemption

turn to Him now and receive eternal life

I guess I also agree that truth smacking is best accomplished by persistently setting forth the truth , but by avoiding personal fights (which only make persons less receptive). I also feel that I am an either/or type: I must remain calm, or I really become enraged and then I am of no use to anyone (if I in fact ever am )

Hurt em now so they don't hurt later. That's my motto.

How quickly this went from: "Can't we all get along" to: "You're insane." :chuckle:

what I mean is I become a raging , foul-mouthed psychotic when I get mad,
and I would be banned. So I stay sweet as a lil kitten

 

[The Berean]

Yeah, Paul wrote that. :AMR:

For some, it is easier to count the days they are sane.

 

[resurrected]

the attendants won't let me take off my sox and sneakers or i'd be able to go up to twenty

 

[drbrumley]

Nope, it was false prophet's comment.

I rebuke you in the name of Jesus the Christ for such a comment as that.

 

[meshak]

Reread what he said. False prophet added to Paul's word.

BTW, false prophet is poster's name, chill out.

 

[Ask Mr. Religion]

Insightful comment.

Nope, it was false prophet's comment.

Double-mindedness, no? :AMR:

AMR

double trouble when she denys Paul was inspired by God the write the Words of God called scriptures. She takth awayvthe scriptures. I'm shocked that all of JW would go that far.
