Sir Pent: Thank you for your response. Before we go any further on this, I must say that I do not put any weight on your comments regarding Aniset since you admit to having not read very many of this user's posts. Yet you have said that you don't see anything unbiblical or cult promoting in his/her posts. You ask me to do your homework for you by pouring over Aniset's posts and marking for your inspection the ones that appear to promote Jehovah Witnesses doctrines. It seems to me you have no business trying to defend Aniset's posts in view of your own admission that you have not read many of them. Opinion based on little or no evidence is worthless, don't you think? If you are unwilling to equip yourself with the facts in the case, my friend, how on earth can you expect those of us who have examined the facts to pay any attention to you? And how can you justify your sharp criticism of those of us who have looked the facts squarely in the face and acted accordingly? You may find the going easier with me in the future if you put your facts where your opinions are. And I say again, I don't need the uniformed opinions of you or anyone else to help me decide my course of action. If you have suggestions that are based on nothing but opinion, I have no time to waste in listening to them. On the other hand, if you have sound arguments to offer based on careful research and analysis of the matter being considered, I welcome your comments with alacrity and will give you gladly all the time you need. ...... Perhaps now you have a clearer idea of why we seem to be butting heads lately and why I may appear to be put out with you, a subject you asked about in your post to which this is a response. Let's not reduce this to a series of ad hominem arrows being flung across the pages of this Forum. But let's neither dismiss it without attempting to come to some terms and a greater understanding of its causes and possible cures. You must know by now that I am particularly rankled when someone tries, without due cause, without justification, and without evidence, to thwart the reasoned efforts and actions of my Forum peers and myself to keep this Forum on track and as free as possible from the ravaging influences of false teaching. --Hank | ||||||

Personal Note................................................ Hello Hank, I understand that my views on Aniset are of limited value to you considering I have not read all of his posts. However, this discussion that we are having started with this thread in particular, and in this thread, you accused Aniset of making "inroads of cultism", and told him to cease immediately. I don't have to read every post he has written to be able to respond to that accusation. I only need to read the post that you are accusing him about, and I did not see any statements that went against orthodox Christian belief in that particular post. You also said that I had written "sharp criticism" of others on the forum. I'm not sure which statements you are referring to, but I have tried to not be offensive to you or anyone else. Please read my post 117198 again, knowing that my tone of voice is not in the least angry or antagonistic, but simply trying to reason together. As for why we seem to keep butting heads, it appears that there is simply a disconnect between the attitude that I write my posts in and the attitude that comes through to you when you read them. It also seems that you think that I only state opinions and do not back them up with any facts. Do I understand you correctly? You finished by saying that you did not want this to turn into a series of arrows, but wanted to come to understanding and resolution. I couldn't agree with you more on that point. I am very thankful for all the hard work that you put into this forum (and have for years), and regret deeply that you seem to be angry with me at this time. |

Sir Pent Allow me a moment in this discussion. Aniset is a Jehovah's Witness which is a certified cult. He then came to this Christian forum and offered off forum instruction in religion. Colin then warned that person that Aniset was a Jehovah's Witness and to stay away, to which Aniset claimed foul. Hank then stepped in and clearly stated that he and many other users would not allow this forum to become a soapbox for the cults nor would they ignore efforts to recruit potential victims to be exposed to cult lies. He further stated that any effort to so would be met with resistance. It was at that point you jumped upon Hank. Would you rather Hank remained silent and allowed Aniset to solicit potential listeners to his cult message? I'm not sure what your defending or opposing. EdB |
