It is my very first AKA. Not Tom Irregardless, but “Me”

Reminds me of the brothers who studied w/me. This one brother would bonk me on the head w/his bible when I went on a rant. At other times he say the angels were running around in front of my mouth trying to throw some salt on the words coming out of my mouth.
Not surprising that it happened occasionally that when a HH brought up something designedly antagonistic, I've said a few times "Are you asking because you really want to know, or are just trying to start something?"

I obviously am, being included in your comments all the time. If you didn’t do that, my attention would probably wander elsewhere, but you keep dragging it back here.
You’re not really much of a people person, are you?

I would never brown beat people. It’s not what I do. It even sounds somehow racist, which will not fly in today’s atmosphere.
How would you know?
Actually, I pray each night that I may be repudiated by someone ill-mannered. I think most people do.
I mean, how many expect God to send his servant Dirty Harry to address the unruly with, “Ya feeling lucky today, punk?”

Come come, I don’t buy it. This is the bluster and abuse of Alan.
Never have I heard a brother refer to God as “the man upstairs” though the expression is common elsewhere. Seldom if ever have I seen a “brother” so abusive, so ready to jettison everything Christ advised whether addressing friend or foe. Even foes he tried to reach, spinning the older son of the Prodigal parable as the one who had been faithful, for example.
Let’s bring in a few, and hope they don’t mind. Have any of you @JW Insider, @Anna, @The Librarian, @Thinking, @xero,@Outta Here@Arauna(who used be approved by CC, then she “corrected” him, making herself a Jezebel.) Anyone, even the villains, feel free to chime in. Has anyone ever heard a brother call Jehovah “the man upstairs?”
Can he really be a Witness, as he would have everyone believe?

While the expression “the man upstairs” is very common, I have never heard one of Jehovah’s Witnesses use it, I think because they would assess it as overly familiar and disrespectful of God.
So is CC a Witness or not? Alas, I fear I will never figure it out.
One man in a million of Jehovah’s Witnesses might use the phrase. That means there could be as many as eight CCs out there.

Sigh...I’m afraid our boy is not really happy unless he is fighting.
He reminds me of a certain old-timer, long since (thankfully) dead, who in the ministry would bypass area after area of common ground to find one of contention, then he would bang away at that one area until the householder slammed the door on him. Nobody wanted to work with him.
Who knows where that disposition came from?

I do not always get out of bed on the same side. Sometimes i am grouchy, particularly if the dog woke me up wanting a treat at 4AM.

The Librarian (that old hen) is in BTK’s pocket, that’s for sure.

Sure. Maybe God will prove to be a soft touch. He sure did with Nineveh. All you had to do is not know your left hand from your right and there are many here that meet those qualifications. Plus, there are some who are dumber than domestic animals, fulfilling the second portion of the verse. Still, I see no reason to take any chances and not hang out in the place of known safety.

This is not true of Rambler owners, for whom life is a 24/7 love-in. Such dreamy conduct you never saw.

I wonder how he would say it if if dropped his admirable respect?

Let's cut to the chase. Opposers can go pound sand. Opposers wouldn't know squat about the Bible if there wasn't an organization to superintend its preservation and transmission to the present. Opposers wouldn't have known enough to bother with learning about the Bible were it not for organizations existing to push doctrine. Opposers can't exist without an organization to oppose. So nothing is useful about opposers. These exist as parasites feeding off the real or imagined deficiencies of organizations.
For them to become useful is to become yet ANOTHER organization from whom will rise yet more opposers.
But opposers are ultimately cowards and lazy as it's easy to complain and point out real or imagined deficiencies, but these either can't or won't do anything to do better.
We used to play a game called "smear the queer" (in the UK it's called British Bulldog) at lunch and only the cowardly kids would refuse to play by taking the ball and running w/it. Opposers are like that.

Nor does English. You have to put two together.
