I did my one-month penance away from this site, and I'm ready for another 10 years here. LOL.

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.

I hadn't realized that Pudgy also stopped posting the same day.

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.

Looks like JR invoked some of the rules of the forum which may have raised a flag to a moderator.

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:

(Oops. My bad. I should not have posted video from the last theocratic gathering. We’ve been asked not to do that.)

By the way, Tom, when I did give my best efforts to interact politely and cautiously (walked on eggshells)

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

You are absolutely right. When someone insults me, I will not hesitate to return that insult in kind.

Try to find a more Christian way to conduct yourself.

However, Tom, it is high time that you abandon your foolishness and put an end to it. I used to hold you in high regard until

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.

Pretending to represent Jehovah's Witnesses is not a game. It is a sacred task. Jehovah doesn't use Monikers or fake Avatars or faceless disembodied usernames to correct other Witnesses. Stop pretending your a messenger of light.

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

Tom, it's time to move on and stop using fake accounts to try to get me banned. We both know that you have the ability to do that. So, let go of the excuses that you and JWI, together with James, have never actually had anyone banned here. It's clear that it's your alter egos that are causing all the trouble. Be responsible for your actions and face the consequences.

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.

Tom has shared that he took down his book, Tom vs Apostates, due to spelling errors.

I did not take it down due to spelling errors.

Show me where Tom or JWI have demanded these changes you claim? 

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.

I have already revealed who I am. Juan Rivera is not a Nickname.

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?

Given JWI's fondness for traveling, perhaps he's on a trip to the British Museum to explore the latest additions to its collection of artifacts.

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.

James appears to be on sick leave or possibly occupied in court. It will only be a matter of time before his animosity resurfaces. In regards to JWI, he remains the unyielding apostate-driven person he has been for more than ten years. This is unlikely to change. He convinces himself that God approves of his contributions, thus giving him a free pass to cause others to falter, much like a particular faction within an exclusive enclave. 

 

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?

In order to establish my true identity as BTK and others that JWI thinks are the same, it would be essential to showcase a comprehensive understanding of the psychological makeup, which might not be readily evident to everyone. Mere resemblance in writing style and tone alone lacks the impact and meaning that one with keen perception and discernment would seek that no one in the closed club posses.

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.

Who is ringing the bell now Tom?

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.

I suspect on the other side of the BB is what we refer to as “Heaven”, where there is no entropic “arrow of time”

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.)

Either that, or remain in the close club where people are indifferent to causing offense.

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

Journalists who go rogue often do it for me.

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.

A brilliant analysis, TrueTom. Absolutely spot-on! Of course, all of your posts are and I have come to expect no less of you.

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

My life story is so rich and complex that it would fill a book. Are you implying that you would like to be my ghostwriter?

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?

1 hour ago, George88 said:

I disagree. The issue is that some of you believe only your complaints matter. However, seeking approval from you all serves no purpose in the eyes of God. Therefore, it is clear that my priority is not to impress any of 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.
