snowychap Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Well folks.... it has been very enjoyable and educational to visit with you on your forum. Some of you have taught me that the atheist/infidel has a very big goal in life; it is to bring doubt into the mind of anyone who believes in the one true God and His Son. He is not curious as to this Being, but his questions are only meant to tear down and even kill the faith that one may have in this Divine Ruler. The atheist is not content to let others enjoy their “fairytale”, but must strive to bring them out of it. This was something I have never recognized before. It may be that if someone reading this thread asks some pertinent questions in the future, then I would respond to them. Short of that, this will likely be my last post. Now, not only is the “End Of The World Cult” film available to misconstrue what our purpose has been; but as a fitting exclamation mark, Prudence was able to come on here and sling some more mud also. This is a perfect way to make an exit and let everyone make their decision about what is true, and what is the manufactured lie. Snowychap, we certainly could go in circles about everything I say for the next five years, but it only makes me get dizzy, I’m getting off the merry-go-round. Regards, Terry Well, Terry, so long, chum. I would countenance against comebacks after retirement - they rarely work out well. I'm afraid that, to my mind, the last few pages of posts from you and your fellow farmers have started to show your true colours. By their fruits and all that. I don't hate you, I hope I have not mocked you (too much) but I do definitely pity you. Having reread this whole thread, I find it very interesting that you have edited a large number of your posts over several days. A number of them do not bear a great resemblance to the original posts that I read and I don't think that goes, in any way, to your credit, I'm afraid. One last thing - having clicked on the youtube link to your song, I am genuinely moved. I could be facetious about the lyrics and the song but I recognize an impassioned plea when I see one. I'm genuinely sorry that there seems to be such a hole in your life left by your split from your wife and, seeing the vid, I hope it works out for you. You're obviously hurting and another's hurt gives me no enjoyment whatsoever. Bon chance, Snowdon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 24, 2007 VT Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2007 Bloody hell. Just read this entire thread. I think it's reaffirmed my hate for religion. I have a genuine pity for the cult members. It is sad that clearly vulnerable people have been drawn to this for some form of 'completion' in their lives. I didn't see the documentary (might have a trawl round for it), and I'm sure that there has been some manipulation for effect, but the fact is, it's slander if its not true. And then you have a law case on your hands. It's interesting that this hasnt been pursued. It doesn't quite add up. I'm sure you're all very happy and thats great. But I'd be wary of what lies behind the cult. I am amazed how well this has worked out as a thread... it has a very disturbing tint to me. It contains an awful lot of preaching (that's almost ironic really), again it doesn't quite add up. There is no logical reason to defend the faith. It's cut off from the world anyway, why should it need to be defended it is indeed the true way? Nobody else can join... why do you need to defend it? It just doesn't add up to me.

TerryCzap Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Having reread this whole thread, I find it very interesting that you have edited a large number of your posts over several days. A number of them do not bear a great resemblance to the original posts that I read and I don't think that goes, in any way, to your credit, I'm afraid. It is true that I did go and proof read and edit most of my posts, but except for adding one line to one post as well as the song link, I only changed typos and bad grammar. The context of all but one entry remained identical as was posted. Isn’t that what the “edit” option is for? T.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that the edit option is so that one can remove something which one realises should not be there, one can edit typos and grammar errors and one can clarify obvious mistakes. I would be worried that it seemed to have been an obsession rather than a hobby for you, Terry. Also, to have done it several times over a 5 period might imply something more calculating? Anyway, I thought you had retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryCzap Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 My 3rd post on page 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Thank you for an honest response. I wonder whether you could answer the two ensuing questions: How did the context change? And why did it change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryCzap Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I wrote my original post purposefully and in such a manner that one would have to be on drugs or inebriated to not know I was with Strong City. No one could have said what I said unless they were here. It was a no brainier. In your post on page 5 you implied I was being deceptive in my first statement. In my united response to you, I stated that there was no dishonesty (deception) involved. So by adding the sentence, not for you, but for future readers, I only clarified what was already stated by me - there was no deception involved. In this light, the context of the post did not change in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Sorry, Terry, you do talk crap. You stated that your edits changed the context of all but one post and then that 'in the light of your clarification' your edit did not even change the context of that post in the slightest. You need to sort yourself out if you are going to try and pass off guff like that, really!! Your style is as much to do with truth as Alastair Campbell, David Frum et al. only not as good, sorry.

TerryCzap Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I prevously stated a few posts above, "The context of all but one entry remained identical as was posted. Isn’t that what the “edit” option is for?" I admit that I spoke to hastily and will change that to "the context in all entries remained identical".

snowychap Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 The context in all entries remained identical or The context of all but one entry remained identical? You spoke too hastily and all contexts were identical? Jesus, Tel, you're struggling now, me old china. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futumtch Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Terry, could you give us a small update on Matthew? He was portrayed as a lonely figure (perhaps unfairly?) in the documentary and I've not seen him post anywhere as far as I know. Perhaps you can tell him that Pluto has now been declassified as a planet if he didn't know already. Infact, will any of the children undergo any exams so as to obtain recognized real-world qualifications......just in case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Also on the topic of the children. What is the case with Steven's daughter? In the rather confusing allegory he relates concerning his wife's 'consummation' with Mr Bent, he talks of a daughter just entering her 5th year. But there are no dates with which to corroborate her age. wayne's friend tosses his mix into the fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I only changed typos and bad grammar. T.C. With an attitude like that you should post more often! Alternatively you could join my "Grammar Police" sect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villab0y Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Tery, Jerry and Timothy. If do not post here again I thank you for making this one of the most interesting threads we have ever had on VT. I wish you all the best for the future.

billy_loes Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Terry - Do you accept, as it is widely, that great swathes of the Bible (James1 version) are pure fiction, written by priests on instruction for the purposes of fear and rule? I am a christian and occasionally attend Church of England services. Terry - Why did you not answer my question ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I only changed typos and bad grammar. T.C. With an attitude like that you should post more often!
