You are not abusing him "in any way"? Perhaps you need to take some personal responsibility for the words you post on this forum. You are claiming you did not abuse him "in any way"? And yet here is some of what you wrote in your post directed at divegeester:
[b]Yeah before you slithered in and ruined it this forum was interesting ... you have taken over the ...[text shortened]... h tiny little opinions. You are nothing more then a god hater knowing his days are numbered.[/b]
-Removed-Yeah your probably right on the first part. I do get upset when I know what it is and you are seriously misguided or you are just oblivious to the good we do and of our stand in upholding the truths in the Bible and willing to stand up to the bibles standards even in the face of ones like yourself.
And yes I feel you have anti christ motives as you continually condemn us for doing only as Jesus commanded us. I've learned over the decades that ones who do not do as Jesus said, in all things, feel guilty about their lack of doing them and turn on ones who do.
Lol. Memberships huh? Your really exposing the lack of wisdom you have about the WTS.
Well you are who you are and lets leave it at that.
Originally posted by galveston75I remember Hurricane Carla was pretty bad. My Aunt, uncle, and two cousins came up to East Texas to stay with us to avoid it. It changed the weather drastically in East Texas and I blame it for our fig tree never producing any more figs after that time.
Yeah we move there one year before hurricane Carla. Still can remember that....

Originally posted by galveston75 to divegeesterdivgeester has had countless hundreds of normal conversations with people here in this community. There have only been one or two posters who have done stuff like claim he's "as dangerous as Satan", you being one of them. To say he has "never had a normal conversation with anyone here" is not true. You seem to rely heavily on saying untrue things in your efforts to express your bitter personal dislike for him.
Really? Lol. You've never had a normal conversation with anyone here so why would it start now?
Does his refusal to accept the theology of the Trinity and his refusal to accept the theology of "eternal torture" rub you up the wrong way for some reason? These two issues that sometimes cause a bit of lively debate between divegeester and proponents of those two bits of theology. Does his 'opposition' to them offend you in some way?
divegeester: Can you please explain why you think I should be burnt alive for all eternity?Do you think posters like Suzianne and CalJust and Checkbaiter, who do not believe in eternal torture either, should also be burnt alive for all eternity?

First, you are a sinner. And second, you don't believe in eternal torment.
Originally posted by FMFFor one thing the imagery makes no sense. In the medieval era fire was seen as purifying, hence the Roman Catholic notion of purgatory where the imperfect would be purified before going into the presence of God. So the concept of eternal hell fire makes little sense as it would imply purification without end - if the stain cannot be removed what is the point of the process?

Originally posted by DeepThoughtThe way sonship tells it, it's simply incoherent. He has to take words like "justice", "glory" and "righteous" and turn them completely upside down to pass off what is surely the darkest and most morally depraved tale of unhinged cruelty and senseless revenge [regardless of the fact that it is merely a figment of sonship's imagination] as somehow being "perfect justice". Furthermore, it is an act of supposedly "perfect morality" from which mankind can take absolutely no exemplary lesson in terms of his own moral behaviour. It makes no sense on many levels,
