Oh sure! Here I was thinking that George had finally tracked you down and burned you at the stake! So much for the funeral talk I was preparing. Oh sure! Here I was taking advantage of the situation to posit you and he were the same! (and then afterwards that I had banned you both) So much for my reliability profile. Gasp! You don’t think JR was banned, do you? He could get pretty outrageous, but underneath it all he had the heart of a pork chop. I mean, George, yes—of course—but there is hardly a point with him, because like a Whack-a-Mole, he is instantly back. But JR—his sense of honor would prevent him coming back under any guise. He was so reckless in his posts, I guess I should be glad. But somehow I am not. To be sure, I muted his comments. But I usually ended up checking them out one by one anyway. Oh wait . . . You mean Juan. Yes, he almost blew a gasket responding to G’s vitriol. He did it well, too. Not that it had the slightest impact on the latter. (But now I am back to wondering what became of the pork chop. Hope he is well.) Also hope you have been behaving during your absence and that family is well. Now that you are back, turn on the fire-waterworks: https://share.icloud.com/photos/036kN6vQPZ9wfl7PnyWb1BJSg (Oops. My bad. I should not have posted video from the last theocratic gathering. We’ve been asked not to do that.)

Tyrannosaurus eggshells maybe. No eggshell that I’ve ever encountered.

Try to find a more Christian way to conduct yourself. “Do not pay back injury for injury or insult for insult.” 1 Peter 3:9

until I corrected you on the most insignificant of points, after which a rabid porcupine from K-Mart could not bristle the way you did. It has been Grudge City ever since. I notice that it happens with everyone.

I would 100% embrace my theory that he is himself a disfellowshipped person exacting revenge but for the strong possibility of mental illness.

What do you think happened to JWI and James? I banned them. I’m beginning to come around to your point of view. That’s how keen your powers of persuasion are.

I did not take it down due to spelling errors.

While you were away, some speculated that George is himself disfellowshipped and is taking his revenge by creating the most judgmental and unpleasant persona possible, and trying to present it as the way Witnesses are.

this is true. I recently met in person a brother named Jim, who hosts a blog and you have mentioned him before. I brought up your name and he confirmed he had met you.

You wouldn’t be trying to get my attention, would you? Don’t you have any life at all?

Nah, I just saw him grabbing coffee and doughnuts at the Gas n Go, making his way to the Tommy James and the Shondells concert.

You have just expressed the common and pedestrian viewpoint which typifies the shallowness of those who reside in the open club. However, your statement also provides opportunity for the rare person who possesses true wisdom and insight to let his brilliance and intellectual rigor shine brightly beneath all the sun. This is crucial to recognize. But where in the world is there in the world a man so extraordinaire? C’est moi, who resides—where else?—in the closed club. The nugget of pure wisdom to be revealed today, which you would do well to write upon the surface of your brain: @Pudgy and @JW Insider are one and the same. They both have commented here forever. They both disappeared at exactly the same time. What further proof could anyone ask for?

I think it has become clear in the last few weeks that @JW Insider and @Pudgy were the same person. Both have inexplicably vanished after years and years of constant activity. I should have spotted it from their similar writing styles and tones. I admit, I did not recognize their identical psychological makeup, despite my keen perception and discernment. My bad. I think @Juan Rivera is just doing a little forensic work, trying to find out what happened to them. I admit, I would like to know, too. JWI has long been sending signals that he thinks his work here, in the main, is done. Plus, he has aging parents to care for, as well as grandchildren to distract him. Pudgy was getting up there in years. I hope the old boy is okay, outlandish though many of his posts were. Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong! Oowhooooo! Wooruuffff, wruffff, bark bark bark woooorrrrfffffffff!!!!!!! “Pudgy, shut up! Shut up! It’s just George! You know George. Will you stop it already!? You mangy mutt! Stop it! Shut up!” But now he’s gone, along with JWI. Whatever happened to those two?

Nice little thread you’ve got going here, SciTech. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

No. However, I would appreciate if you do not reveal to all and sundry the secret meeting place of the closed club. (I do feel someone bad stomping on Sci’s little thread. But I see that has already happened.)

Oh, yeah! Is he obnoxious? Send him right over! We thrive on people like that! Just doing our bit so the open club can stay pristine. I hear next on the 10-year list is that blogging’s okay, provided you avoid those ne’er-do-wells in the closed club

The link was excellent. I remember my parents going to pbs and npr but only after Walter Cronkite was no longer THE source. In those days I trusted the NYT the way my doctors still trust the Lancet or the BMJ. Rogue reporters have explained a lot about how we were fooled for so long. Tucker They fired him:

What in the world are you talking about? I have no idea who those two fellows are. As for the downvote, it’s because Vic Vomodog and I used to pull shoulder to shoulder in the work until he went over to the dark side. Believe me, he hated the book TrueTom vs the Apostates! and rejoiced when I took it down for a few misspellings.

Thank you, Dr. Adhominem. Coming from such a learned source as you, it means a lot. I pledge to always do my best.

It doesn’t matter. No matter what the topic is or where it is, it always boils down to a squabble with George.

He’s me. too.

He’s me. Can’t slip anything past you, I see.

Do you think i could capture the essence of it? Remember, when I write of myself, I am full of self-deprecatory humor. Would that work for you?

As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we are encouraged not only to take an interest in people, but to ‘love people’—the title of our latest brochure. The “eyes of God” want us to do this. It is very hard to do this with someone who reveals nothing of himself, who eternally thinks everyone is out to get him, and who seemingly exists only to criticize others. You should spill more.

I think there is.
