Definition of a cult

Rob, let's get real here. You attract negativity in every forum on this website not just the Spirituality forum, why is this? Answer, you like winding people up and goading people, you've admitted as such. Internet forums are like a mirror, you get back what you put out. You've told us about being kicked out of your family home and your brothers taking your bed and ceremoniously burning it you're that much of a pain in the ass. There's a common theme running through this. You being a pain in the ass.

As for Galveston, he is the most patronising, condescending poster on this forum. Again, think of the mirror. You get back what you put out.

so lets get this, Jehovahs witness are being singled out because I am a pain in the a$$? I don't believe that, in many discussions that I enter while maintaining sublime civility I never mention Jehovahs witnesses and yet time and again the matter is pushed into the fore, this is another classic example, a discussion which should essentially be about the defining criteria of a cult is now all about Jehovah witnesses, there was already a thread for that, but noooooo, certain forum abusers could not stick to the script.

JW's get 'singled out' as you put by me, because i can only speak for myself here, because of my differing views on certain topics -

1. Homosexuality - there are also other Christian posters who share the JW position.
2. Evolution - there are also other Christian posters who share the JW position.
3. Biblical Flood and associated Genesis stories - there are also other Christian posters who share the JW position.
4. Blood Transfusions - You're on your own on this one,
5. Shunning - You're on your own again.

There are also the theological topics that other Christians would 'single you out' on which i don't care about.

these are all Biblical issues and can be discussed from a Biblical perspective without even mentioning Jehovahs Witnesses, true or false? Those people that single us out should just man up about it and should just come right out and say it, we do so because we hate you.

But your organisations views are put forward within JW literature, more often than not this is what you tell us to read and what Galveston copy and pastes on the forum. How can we discuss JW literature and JW points of view without mentioning JW's? It seems rather odd.

on the contrary i post a plethora of scriptures, trying to discuss, not Jehovahs witness but the Bible, you can check my posts if you like to see that this is the case.

I'm not going and checking your posts, i know you post scripture and i know you also post JW literature.

I've given you a list above containing the topics i enjoy(ed) debating the JW and other Christian posters with. If you think that is 'singling you out' and reaffirms your belief that you are Gods chosen people as laid out in scripture then i'm glad i could help. 🙂

Your suggestion that you are "objects of hatred" is interesting [in psychological terms] but it does not hold any water [in debating terms]. For instance, galveston75 claimed I have "an agenda of hatred" when, in fact, I do not. He couldn't substantiate the accusation and you were unable to support it either. This is all your claims about "hate" seem to amount to: something you say in anger [like when you are sometimes confronted with contradictions in what you have said] and it is a form of lashing out which doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

You need to seek out negativity to reaffirm your beliefs?! As an armchair psychologist that can't be healthy.

Is that a joke?

Perhaps this is the reason why you are here mistakenly trying to superimpose motives of "hatred" onto people who take issue with stuff you say and how you behave?
