well,
The fact is dishonest and disruptive individuals(read trolls) do come aboard on boards like these.
I personally have 0 tolerance for such shenanigans.
I am not here to 'persuade' anyone from their belief.I will present info and fact,they do with it what they will.
There is not just one right way,or one right approach. Calling for such is conformist.
There are diverse values and communication styles here. What offends one,doesn't bother another in the least. People will learn to use some thinking skills and develop personal discernment by sifting and drawing to the ones that appeal to them. Skills that were NOT allowed by the WTS. THEY inculcated and demanded conformity of thought,style and communication. They censored individuality.
I happen to appreciate all styles,whether I agree with them or not.
I've often learned form these.
yes,there is in your face,and there are softer/gentler styles. Just as there are personalities who respond to both. SInce I have no agenda to pull people out of the WTS,no mission,I think it's best to leave everyone to their own style.Advocating the use of persuasive WTS techniques is becoming just as low as they are.
People are here for many reasons,some mentioned in the above posts. We should keep this mind.
I will and have wholeheartedly helped any who ask for assistance,info, and support.I keep in mind this is THEIR personal journey.To stay or leave is a conclusion they need to settle in their own mind and in their own time.I do not see any benefit from persuading,which to me is coercion . I find the calling to remeber our 'persuasive techniques' highly unethical. But that's just me. Jw's only leave when they have worked thru issues and doubts themselves. I have rarely seen where 'pulling and persuasion' is very effective. It becomes effective when they make the data 'their own'.
Also larc,when you condemn/make a judgement on a long-time poster make sure that 'newbie,trolls' whatever, are judged by the SAME criteria.Especially one who brags about being kicked off other boards for crappy behavior,thus,who knows better.
