Pissed and Need to Vent

[tower]

Hart,

I wasn't going to continue on this thread, but I simply cannot tolerate this. You didn't find the Jehovah’s Witness religion to be a good fit. That speaks well for your ability to reason (even if it took years for you to come to that realization). You now have read books by various authors that resonate with you. I'm glad for you. If you can't find your own way, I'm glad that you have guides. But you are now proselytizing with the same fervor you demonstrated in your JW days. You are unwittingly thinking that if this is the way for you, it must be the way for everyone. This is exactly the pitfall of your JW thinking. You are as a man trying to teach basic addition to Gauss. Paragon's comments were spot on. Please stop embarrassing yourself by trying to convince others that you have a superior or esoteric way. No one is buying it. No one here is interested in having you as a teacher.

Since you seem so rapt in the quotations of others, I will leave you with this one. It has a few slightly different forms which have been variously attributed to Abe Lincoln, Mark Twain and Albert Einstein:

“ 'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”

The absence of a rebuttal from you will prove your ability to learn.
