    It is about maintaining the honor and reputation of the unfairly impugned closed club.
    The closed club rocks!
    At our next meeting, leather jackets to be awarded presently to all 5-year and up members.

    Can someone tell me what is the point of this thread? Oh never mind, ignore question. Sorry I asked.

    I don't know whether you just had a seizure, but you're not making sense. You're one step away from talking in word salads.

    I'm not sure what the point of this thread is. Is there a recommendation to do something? Believe something? 
     
    This phrase "Why don't former members of Jehovah's Witnesses recognize the impact that other religions have on societies as a whole here?" is weirdly ambiguous.
    On the one hand it claims that "former members" have a certain belief in common, namely some ambiguous "[a failure to]  "recognize the impact that other religions have on societies as a whole here"".
    I don't know how anyone could know anything consistently true about ex-JW's other than that they are ex-JW's. Their reason for being ex-JW's varies, and how any of the business of being an "ex-JW" could be queried such that one could speak of them as a bloc in holding any given attitude about anything is beyond me.

    Then it seems there's some squishy words which we're supposed to imagine flows naturally to "What are you doing about evil in the world?" Implying that some unclearly named others aren't, w/o making an explicit argument. 

    Then we're having our attention directed to a case of some nuns who have issues with their hierarchy, and somehow this is supposed to exemplify something, but what that is isn't clear either.

    Then SS uses this as an opportunity to express himself, however how any of his expressions can in any way connect with the OP's ambiguous post is beyond me.

    Maybe if I passed this through some gematria calculator, it will make more sense.

    It’s as if Jesus himself is speaking. What about carpenters? Is your opinion the same for them?

    I’m bracing myself to be called either a little girl who sounds like a horse or referred to as ‘ she’ as if that is in some way pejorative. Maybe he was disfellowshipped for extreme misogyny.

    I’ll take a brief sarcasm pause to say that this is the most astute post I’ve seen on here. He also just calls anyone who questions his attitude an apostate.

    It is always possible—I’d rate it at least a 50/50 chance—that George is himself disfellowshipped—he knows Witness history very well—and is taking his revenge with a made-up, nasty almost beyond belief, persona that he would have everyone believe is that of a typical, faithful Witness.
    I mean, I know hundreds of JWs, and I have never met one anything like him. It is inconceivable that such a personality could be in huge social demand, unless he is living one fantastic double life, and even then it would be hard to keep it hidden.
    It’s inconceivable that someone who presents himself as so loyal can so utterly disregard repeated counsel not to argue with ‘apostates.’ Somewhere there is a sham. Something does not compute. That he himself is a disfellowshipped person taking revenge is a possible explanation.

    @George88It's "little whiny girl".

    "A "whinny" typically refers to the characteristic vocalization of a horse, particularly the sound made by a horse when it is excited, happy, or trying to communicate with other horses or humans. It's a high-pitched, neighing sound that horses make by expelling air through their nostrils while vocalizing. The whinny can vary in intensity and duration depending on the horse's emotional state and the context in which it is vocalizing. It's one of the many ways horses communicate with each other and with humans."

    People who bloviate often exhibit certain psychological tendencies or motivations that drive their behavior. Here are some aspects of their psychology:
    Need for Attention: Bloviation is often a way for individuals to seek attention and validation. They may feel a sense of importance or superiority when they dominate conversations or express their opinions forcefully.
    Insecurity: Bloviation can also stem from feelings of insecurity. Individuals may feel the need to constantly assert themselves or demonstrate their knowledge in order to mask their own insecurities or feelings of inadequacy.
    Narcissism: Bloviation can be a manifestation of narcissistic tendencies, where individuals have an inflated sense of self-importance and believe that their opinions are inherently superior to others'. They may disregard or belittle opposing viewpoints.
    Desire for Control: Bloviation can be a way for individuals to exert control over a conversation or situation. By dominating the dialogue, they can influence the direction of the discussion and maintain a sense of power.
    Lack of Self-awareness: Some individuals who bloviate may lack self-awareness regarding the impact of their behavior on others. They may not realize that their excessive verbosity or grandiose speech can be off-putting or alienating to those around them.
    Difficulty Listening: Bloviation often coincides with a lack of active listening skills. Individuals may be more focused on expressing their own thoughts and opinions than on genuinely engaging with others or considering alternative viewpoints.
    Validation Seeking: Bloviation can be a way for individuals to seek validation and approval from others. They may believe that by impressing others with their knowledge or rhetoric, they will gain admiration and respect.
    Intellectual Insecurity: In some cases, bloviation may stem from a fear of being perceived as intellectually inferior. Individuals may overcompensate by attempting to demonstrate their intelligence or expertise in a particular subject.
    Habitual Behavior: For some individuals, bloviating may simply be a habitual behavior that they have developed over time. They may not even be consciously aware of their tendency to dominate conversations or monopolize attention.
    Overall, the psychology of bloviating individuals is complex and multifaceted, often involving a combination of factors such as insecurity, narcissism, and a desire for validation and control

    It’s your lightness of touch and breezy nature that must get you invited everywhere. I’m not surprised that a wassailor like you is aggrieved at not being allowed into the closed club.

    Nonetheless, we have his application on file and at the next meeting of the closed club top brass we expect to admit him, at least on a trial basis.

    It’s because he is in a snit that we let Pudg in the closed club whereas he wouldn’t be able to get in for all the tea in China.
    It is truly sad and indeed troubling, reflecting poor scholarship and intellectual deterioration, typical of those who frequent the closed club, that you did not possess this knowledge as your own possession and were thus reduced to enquiring as regards to this knowledge that you so sadly lack in the midst of the spiritual delinquency of the open club.
