God is good through all things and trials and tribulations and He loves those who love Him. God has something in store for you G-Man beyond what you may think but you know this.

I readily admit that I have in the past argued with G-Man and R.C. and at times it's gotten pretty nasty. I would like to hope I'm maturing a bit as sure I can disagree with them both but there is no reason for me to get personal and call them names or what have you. I think it goes both ways also they're not innocent in this matter. I take it this that this is a forum and not everyone is going to always agree with content posted. You can be right about a subject yet because of attitude totally not get the point across because of a mentality of smugness or whatever. Christians really should have a mentality of humbleness as this is what God honors.

Originally posted by menace71So sorry to hear that Manny. I know that had to be hard. I've lost many relatives but I'm sure it is not like loosing a parent. I'm not looking forward to that day but it will happen unless Jehovah ends this system as he's promissed and we have the opportunity if Jehovah allows us to live thru armegeddon and into the "new order".

It is the hope of so many to once again see loved ones again in the paradise once the resurection begins for ones who have died as God has promissed in the Bible. I know that would be a happy time for you for sure.......
Death is a true enemy of mankind. We were origianlly designed by God to live forever and that is why it hurts so bad when one of our family or friends die. It is in reality is not a natural thing for us to do.
Thanks, Steve.

Originally posted by menace71Yes I have fallen short many times and it is very upsetting to me when I do. This is actually a very basic reason the WTS suggest that JW's do not get involved in forums such as this because it is so easy from a computer to let the conversation get beyond a decent and civil discussion into what we have all seen here at RHP.

That is also why the Bible says to "shake your feet of the dust" and leave from the doors of ones who do not show interest or who want to argue. It keeps ones from getting into this situation.
So here it can and has gotten out of hand from a decent conversation into ones that many of us are ashamed of and have no doubt gone to bed mad at others here or at ourselves.
That is wrong and does cast a bad shadow on who we are as individuals and our beliefs or religion we may be associated with.
We just had a part at our Service Meeting last week on how we should respond when someone says something to us at the door to door work that may be an attack on our beliefs. It does happen all the time so we as Christians have to respond in a Christian way as Jesus himself taught. It was very encouraging to me to say the least and a wake up call as I am an imperfect human and have fallen with this here.
This is why I've decided to let my subscription cancel as the forum is a constant pull on me to see what the next posting says and how I have to respond to defend my belief. But it has really accomplished nothing as far as I can see other then putting my belief in Jehovah and what we believe to be the truth to some here in a bad light. That is so wrong and that is the reason for my decision.

What is your position on these allegations; do you validate them or is robbie carrobie overstepping his bounds of representation?
I'd appreciate a public response on this please.

Originally posted by Proper Knobyour assessment of voluminous posting is another epic fail for you cannot use the total number of pages as evidence for voluminous posting, why not, because chess diagrams take up lots more pages than text, indeed it used to be the case that you could only post a single fen diagram and a single pgn and it would take up an entire page, whereas someone by means of text could make twenty posts and still not take up a single page. Secondly posting in columns as Duchess64 and Greenpawn do and as I used to do also takes up more space making your attempt to evaluate volume on the basis of number of pages fatally flawed. Total number of pages is therefore an inaccurate representation of actual volume of posting and you fail again. Please visit boohoo.com for those having a bad hair day.
I think you need to get out more. 2489 pages of drool. Nuff said.

Originally posted by divegeesternot only have i made the allegation, i have substantiated them, it has been proven that you have consistently singled out and targeted a specific denomination and the individuals within that denomination as a special objects for your personal attacks. In proof of this not you nor one of your friends could produce a single other instance of a denomination that you targeted and could not produce any other individuals whom you have targeted and attacked or specifically mentioned by name.
Galveston, robbie carrobie has made some serious allegations about me on your behalf over several pages in this thread.
What is your position on these allegations; do you validate them or is robbie carrobie overstepping his bounds of representation?
I'd appreciate a public response on this please.
In justification for your attacks you claimed two reason, one voluminous posting which was a barefaced lie. Galveston has posted less then FMF, GB and many others who should also have come under attack for voluminous posting if that really was the case. But it was and is not making the claim a barefaced lie. That I myself have posted numerous pages cannot be construed as voluminous posting because many of the pages were diagrams which take up more space than text and I used to post in columns as does Duchess64 and Green pawn which also takes up more pages and in fact upon an examination of the spirituality forum I started a single thread in the first four pages again making your assertion of voluminous posting a barefaced lie.
the second reason that you gave for the justification of your attacks on a specific denomination and specific individuals was 'self acclaimed veracity'.
Let us examine the claims for your justification of your personal attacks on a single denomination targeting individuals within that denomination on the basis of claims of veracity. Jehovahs witnesses claim to be the sole channel through which the divine will may be realized, you on the other hand claim to have already reached personal salvation, to be destined to rule with Jesus Christ as a King and a priest for eternity, a much more grandiose claim by far. Do Jehovahs Witnesses claim that they are saved? No. Do they claim that they are destined to rule with Jesus Christ as a King and a priest for all eternity like you, no the vast majority claim the hope that they will live on a paradise earth. Have they claimed infallibility? No, they have never claimed infallibility and yet others, like the head of the Catholic church have and yet Catholics have not become the objects of special attention for your personal attacks again making your claims on the basis of veracity another bare faced lie.
I therefore put it to you that you are nothing more than a cowardly forum bully who has consistently picked upon a single organization and specific individuals within that organization simply because they provide an easy target for your prejudices against them.

Originally posted by Proper KnobSo sad for you that I have proven that your method of evaluation is fatally flawed, had you been a true man of science you would have examined your method instead of assuming a faulty model. So sad. It also fails to take into consideration those with multiple accounts. All in all its an epic fail.
