Schoolyard bully mentality

by FusionTheism in

i'm not naming names, but i just want to encourage people on here or on reddit or twitter, and tell you that you do not have to tolerate people who act like schoolyard bullies in the way they speak to you online.

i think anonymity is a big part of it.

they feel like there is zero accountability so they can be a bully all they want.. i recommend just ignoring or blocking anyone who is verbally abusive or treats you like schoolyard bullies treated you.. life is way too short to spend any time dealing with those kinds of people..

Oubliette,

My grandfather's sister lived through the persecution of the European Jews in the last century. It has happened, it can happen. People are people.

DJS,

I agree with you. I'm not trying to spin only to state my opinion.

A question that might be asked of Christians is: Why are there no punishments listed in the 10 Commandments? Why is it that the only sin regarding sex in the Ten Commandments is adultery? Why were the 10 Commandments kept in the Ark but the Law of Moses kept outside of the Ark?

Christians should give serious consideration to this, imo.

Oubliette,

If you will note I said "in the future". Do you honestly believe there is no possibility that at some point in the future when religion has become a stench to many more than it already has and is then blamed for a great war, or whatever, that there will not be some who will take action against a religious family in their town or church in their city?

You cannot actually be that blind to how people everywhere can be and have been. Or do you believe that atheism will make all people the salt of the earth, truly?

If so, dear brother, you have more waking up to do.

DJS,

I just read your last post. I agree, with what you said about Paul. I suppose the problem lies in how Paul's letters were categorized in the early church. They were put in the "inspired" column but are they really? As a Christian my personal opinion is that Paul wrote what he thought was good and for his time but his letters were not necessarily inspired.

Just my opinion on that.

Witness My Fury: So lets get this straight, if someone disagrees with your opinion thats bullying. Only by agreeing with you can there be peace and love and and all things fluffy?

You have absolutely nailed the whole discussion. ;)

More truths: All Christians are lunatics and all atheists are intelligent, sane and generous. All Christians should be put into institutions and their children taken away (as someone here has said). All religious are idiots and all governments and institutions should be headed by atheists who being the best of the best will make all bad things go away and the earth will be filled with happy little elves busy at work doing all things good and great.

All wars will cease and hunger, crime and greed will be disappear.

Can't wait! ;)

Religious people have committed evil crimes this is true. But it also true that today's new atheism is creating an atmosphere where in the future, if it were not for government standing in the way, the religious would be drawn and quartered by some who are just as evil as those pictured above.

It's people who commit evil crimes. There are religious who would never harm another person and atheists who would also never harm another person. But there are on both sides those who seek to divide and inflame.

In the U.S. most Christians live quiet lives, go to church on Sunday, and do not force their religion on anyone. They give toward whatever charity their church is supporting.

Truly what is being reflected here by some is the Dawkins school of paint all with the same brush. He gets a bigger audience by doing so. But it is a lie.

As Witnesses we are expected to put up with elders and circuit overseers who use peer pressure and call people "weak" or "inactive" in order to get them to change and of course bully tactics have been used during judicial meetings as well.

JWs who have been conditioned to accept this kind of behavior as acceptable come here and may be fooled into thinking that such behavior by those claiming to be more educated on all things religious is somehow okay.

No, it is not okay. Whether a bully at the KH or a bully online...it is all the same. Make no mistake about that.

If someone we call a "friend" is a bully that does not make his/her bullying any less despicable only more troubling.

Witness My Fury: This site's users have matured over the years and so the site has shifted into one that has an increasingly hard lean towards truth, evidence and a low tolerance of bullshit.

Below is what a JW coming to this forum will read on the welcoming page-

Are you the 'Watchtower'?

No - we're an independent community site offering support for both current and former Jehovah's Witnesses and anyone else who has been affected by the beliefs, doctrines and practices of the Jehovah's Witness religion as governed by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society (WTB&TS).

We are not affiliated with the WTB&TS in any way and we take your privacy and security very seriously doing our utmost to protect your identity and provide a friendly, tolerant and informative environment where you can ask questions, share information and make new friends. Membership is completely free and anonymous so why not join today! (underlining added)

Witness My Fury, perhaps you should ask the site owner to amend this welcome to something more in line with what you say this forum has become. Note there is nothing in that welcome which disallows, discourages or ridicules religious discussions. There is nothing in that welcome which favors atheists over believers. Neither is there anything in that welcome which demands that believers provide evidence of their beliefs.

There is also nothing in that welcome which informs Christians of religions outside of Jehovah's Witnesses that their personal belief in God and Christ is...bullshit.
