Why are you pretending you can't comprehend what caused him to react? It makes you look silly.
Do you think would have reacted that way if someone offered him a cigarette? Of course not.
He was offended by what the preacher says: "Jesus loves you".
Can you cite where he actually said it was the fact that Jesus loved him that he was offended. I don't believe he was offended one iota when he understood what Wilko was saying to him. One of my older brothers is a christian, i always told him i don't want to hear it for the sole reason that i was convinced that the church was full of hypocrisy, i am sure Nicky Cruz was speaking from a similar place that i did.
What an obnoxious thing to say to her. Nothing whatsoever about Pleroo is deserving of that. She is one of the most even-tempered and level-headed posters on this forum.
You're not a nice person, Finn_Jarber. If that's me being judgmental, so be it. You seem to go out of your way on these forums to misquote and twist people's words and intent. It's ALL you do, and it's old. You never have one positive or upbeat thing to say or anything to create a back-and-forth dialogue, just constant attempts to misdirect valid conversations and start arguments.
At least, he's a regular reminder of the lack of character required for full-fledged fundie membership.
What a bunch of drama queens. First you'd have to come back to reality for anyone to take you seriously. The group I grew up in thinks they are being persecuted and mocked because of their righteousness too. Are they? I came to learn that the whole wide world that I was told was out to get me couldn't care less about the stupid Watchtower. They couldn't even say Jehovah's Witnesses right they were so full of not much toward us. Surely these wordly people agonize over how to bring us down?
I don't know how people can keep throwing the same scriptures at each other and not realize they are staring in a mirror. Maybe that's because you let other people control your reality. So, so full of yourself to think the people that disagree with you care enough about your beliefs to hate you. Perhaps you choose "hate" to give yourself some power. So important are thou that you should stand between God and His "tormentors". OOOOOOhhhh the creator of the universe is keeping tabs on me, that's how important I amHe remembers that time I lied about finishing my homework and He'll make me answer for it....come off it!
I typically can't stand to read you LGA, but this was good. For cryin out loud- we're not being beheaded or boiled in oil, or even set on fire here for preaching the Gospel. I would bet that brothers and sisters in Christ over in Iraq, Malaysia, or Egypt would welcome the stuff that we cry and whine over.
Good gut check LGA

Nothing but disagreeable words, ever.

Even worse is some fake outrage when someone calls someone else on a joke in poor taste.

Wow.
Knowing L8, she'll respond to that with grace, but ... wow. Did you mean that to sound as rude as it does?
I am sure the idea of pushing someone off a bridge warms the cockles of your heart.
That's messed up, dude. Seriously. The point of her joke was to show how divided we are, and how members of one denomination judge and condemn another. Sometimes members of the same sub denomination do this.
