Originally posted by FMFThe statement is demonstrably false. He does not support our stance on removing people from the congregation, he does not support our stance on refusing whole blood, he has termed us a pernicious cult because of our stance on the practice of homosexuality, infact his posting history is one of habitually attacking people who want to worship as they see fit and I even provided the reason, because he is a religious bigot.
You replied 'no you don't' to divegeester's "I fully support everyone in their desire to worship as they see fit" and yet you know as well as I do that he supports everyone's right to worship as they see fit.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou stated I was a 'religious bigot' because I had never said anything positive about JW's and you would retract the statement if I could prove otherwise. So my off the cuff remark isn't actually that far from the truth. You have never dealt very well with dissent and criticism when it comes to the Watchtower and its teachings.
I'd reel myself in from da moon if I were you, you are out there spangling, pure wired!
Originally posted by Proper KnobProvide the evidence and ill retract the statement, otherwise is stands, heck post any statement where you have made any positive comment about anyone's religious beliefs and ill retract the statement.

Originally posted by FMFHis posting history is one of habitually criticising others for their beliefs making your assertion that he seeks to support the efforts of others to worship as they see fit demonstrably false infact he has stated that he wishes to vociferously oppose my own religious organisation which he has publicly stated is a pernicious cult specifically because of its beliefs making him a religious bigot.

I fully support everyone in their desire to worship as they see fit. - Divesgeester - a demonstrable lie plain and simple.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI can be highly critical of Islamic fundamentalists, for example, but it doesn't make me a "bigot". The fact that I have not said anything "positive" about them on these forums doesn't make me a "bigot".

Originally posted by robbie carrobieHe has never said your freedom to worship should be curtailed. That is the issue. Not whether he likes you or your religion.
You will cite a single text where he supports me in my desire to worship as I see fit as he has publicly stated.

Originally posted by FMFOn the contrary he fully opposes our stance on blood, he fully opposes out practice of removing unrepentant wrongdoers, these are tenets of our worship.

Originally posted by FMFSo you cannot provide a single iota where he fully supports us in our freedom to worship as we see fit, thankyou, why can you not provide it because its a lie, he does not support us in worshipping as we see fit. He is a religious bigot.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieCriticizing you and your organization, opposing your practices, not supporting you, not saying nice things about what you say and believe, is not restricting your freedom of religion.
