Ever had a neighbor who packed up all their trash into bags, forcefully open the door to your house and then throw their garbage into your living room?
No? Me neither.

I kind of enjoyed being excluded from the Christians Only areas because some of them seemed to consist of the most venom filled hateful posts on CF. This small corner WAS largely ignored and quite peaceful.
I think it would be better if they just permanently banned the LDS and JW members.
Yeah, but what happens when they start throwing all the Christians sects they can't tolerate here? Bye, bye peace!
Not from the Mormons or JWs, I expect. They will probably behave themselves.

I expect they will be on the defensive too much to do much of anything.
Not to suggest that Mormons and JW's are trash, but they are a Christian 'problem' they are not separate world religions.
Then by what right are we here?
I left CARM when it began to peg various people as non-Christians and only allowing them to post in the atheism section (never mind, they clearly believed in God.) Are we headed the same direction?
I once gave a paper on the Babi heroine Tahirih, at Brigham Young University for a regional meeting of the American Academy of Religion. I got a better audience there than any other papers I've ever presented at the AAR, and most of them were Mormons.
Coffee at Dunkin' Donuts was awful, though. Serves me right for buying a cup of coffee in Provo.
I agree that the forum is headed in that direction. However, neither the LDS or the JWs, benefit from a situation where they can be openly attacked. Having a continuous cycle of threads criticizing the same topic over and over again is not in their personal interest. It would be better for them, in my and only my opinion, if they were banned.
Better yet, if the LDS and the JW stopped responding to these posts they would deny the critics the chance to criticize them. Alas, it appears that many of the LDS are too addicted to debate to deprive their critics of their satisfaction.
:o
I bet that's what Jesus would have done.
Silence is acceptance. Would you allow your Faith to be trashed daily?
That's really the point I'm making. If the LDS and JWs stopped arguing with those who find fault with them then the trashing would stop. It is only fun if they have someone to argue with. I am convinced that a single response from a member of either of these two religions, explaining once how they really view/understand the topic, provides all the counter-point which is necessary. Any responses beyond that just feeds the debate fury, like chumming the water for LDS/JW hungry sharks.
No arguments = no fun.
No fun = no posts.
No posts = no trashed beliefs.
First, I haven't rounded up anyone.
Second, are a lot of threads created to attack the Unitarian beliefs?
