This is something that bugged me last night thinking about, i myself am unbaptized and i will never forget thanks to the passed down retelling of events from my family about a time in which a jehovah's witness zealously upon hearing that i was never baptized, began screaming at my family after putting his foot in the door about how i will burn in hell.
What kind of "God" would allow such a thing?
Do you have any thoughts on the matter? :|
(I wasnt sure whether to put this thread somewhere else, but since it was more a arguement than a rant i thought it would be best here)
Don't you worry. Just get a Mormon to baptize you post-mortem.

Now that is a very callous and heartless thing to say.
Even to me. Shame on you.
JoHo's don't scream at people, and I'm pretty sure they don't get baptized. Your family are rotten liars. Which is good, since at least if you DO go to hell you'll still be able to see them.

I was in the same room when he said it, or better wording it 'screamed it' i know it to be true because i can remember the grief and distress on my family's face when it was said. Just too young to remember the words.
Oh that's a nice and uplifting thing to say, thanks.
Ah, no... JW's don't believe in baptizing children. In fact you have to answer a series of 80 questions to prove that you know their belief system well enough to dedicate your life to serving their God. They actually condemn the idea of baby baptisim. They also believe that you have to be completely submerged in the water for it to be a baptism (symbolicly dying from your old life and being born new to God)... no head sprinkling. It would be pyhsically improbable to baptize a baby in the way JW's do.
Secondly, JW's do not believe in Hell. They believe that when you die, you are dead. No consciousness (unless you happen to be one of 144,000 people selected by Jesus to go to heaven).
Third, a JW would never scream at anyone in their door to door ministry. They could be kicked out for that sort of behavior.
I call bullshit.
*I was born and raised a JW, worked at their world headquarters, was an appointed Ministerial Servant and gave Sunday morning sermons. I was baptized at the age of 13 and that was considered almost 'too young'.
As all people are born Discordians, all are welcome in her arms, or on the end of her fork.
I've heard of a place called Limbo, not sure if it applies to your question.
YES. THEY GO TO HELL. AND THEY BURN FOREVER, IN TORMENT AND PAIN AND GNASHING OF GUMS.

HEY.
As one of the admins and, well, OTHER THINGS, for that board I would like to humbly request that you, and any other people who feel a need to engage in something like PD DROOLS THAT OTHER PLACE RULES kind of thing, please, PLEASE, keep it to yourself.
Just a request, not a demand or anything.
I will absolutely not accept any kind of shit talking of this or any other board I like over there. I think we had enough of that at EBG thank you very much.
Thanks.
Well, what can you expect? We don't meet his standards in some way or another, and appearances must be maintained. The interbutts are SERIOUS BUSINESS, so he has to let us know SRSLY that we don't make the grade.
Oddly enough, he's not over there, either.
Which means that either A) TPMP doesn't meet his exacting standards, either, or B) this entire exercise was designed to show us all just exactly how he feels.
Either way, he's an ass. He's your problem now, Alty.

So noted. And I do apologize.
I noticed how dead AI (relatively) has been lately, and figured a lot of what used to get posted in AI was getting posted over there. Which is actually kind of cool because the other areas of PD have been popping. I was mistaken, and totally see how my comment could be taken as dickish. Apologies, again.

Okay. I'm just not sure how a troll spamming PD is somehow a reflection of what the rest of PD is doing.

Thank you. No problem. Also, you probably missed the bear while he was here. The last thing he was adding was any kind of quality. Or humor. Or personality. :lulz:

But I did learn something about JW. I'll chalk that as a win.
There has appeared to be a misunderstanding on my part, etc.
All previous statements retracted, and my apoligies extended to NoLodude.
TPMP isn't exactly any more alive than this place, anyway.

Not PD in general, just AI. Probably a slow news day/week/month, or threads in Apple Talk that are much more interesting to follow than whatever the dipshit's in charge are up to.
I honestly was under the impression that AI was sort of migrating. This particular troll post just struck me like tumbleweed in a ghost town--only with less zazz.
I totally read "This is what passes for AI, now?" as an indictment of Trollbear's ability to pass the Turing test.

He was the bastard child of Pandera, who stole the mystic name of Yahweh from the temple in order to do magic, wow the rubes and tap some ass.*

Oddly enough that makes him much more relatable that the God-Man of John, the social crusader of Luke, or the Uber-Jew of Matthew. I'll leave Mark off the list, because Mark was just ripping off Homer.
*not the actual opinion of any Discordians
