Along with the general lack of posting on here, there seems to be a distinct lack of discussions and any that do start often don't get a lot of "interest", a lot of views, but notta lotta posting?

 

Is that because there are those who don't know how to discuss or debate respond with ridicule and offensive personal remarks? Would it be because the same old gang of such people kill off any reasoned debate not knowing how to disagree with the topic raised so instead take issue with posters?

 

Just a thought which occurred to me when reading a news item which I'm going to raise in another thread...........

Please CD,. Don't take this personally, please no one take my reply personally.  It is just my personal opinion and not meant to offend anyone.

I am not really having a moan either but the points that I have highlighted in black I do actually tend to agree with especially where my contributions are concerned. Of course I am talking about mine being mainly those as a JW.

I am not complaining because I do accept that JW views attract all kinds of responses and those that give them are quite within their rights to so.

I would just like to add my reply as I see it considering this has been put out to attract interest and replies.

I have noticed too that there is far less activity on many forums. I stay and read RT and the other ebay forums because some discussions and debates I find very interesting and like to read other people's opinions. I enjoy them.

I do find though that almost all discussions and debates have an opening somewhere for me as a JW to contribute in someway or another because that's life.  My opinion is because God exists and is the one who created life then every aspect of life and all that can be discussed and debated will have God's view to be considered as well.

So this means because so many people react is so many negative ways when my JW opinions are expressed, it excludes me from joining in the interesting topics.

I never take things personally, even when it may seem as ridicule I don't take offence because we are all entitled to our opinions. The important thing is we all respect each other.
