When you're telling your "experience," it's one thing. When you answer everyone's post with something to the effect of, "Have you been to the City of Peace," you are steering the discussion back in the direction of your religion/religious experience. That is proselytizing.
I don't want you to be blocked from posting. I just want you to be aware that people who express themselves are not necessarily looking for Lou's City of Peace; in fact, most of them are not, as you are well aware (they have told you!). It does, indeed, sound like you are recruiting.
There are lots of types of people and many types of Jews. Jews for Jesus indeed proselytize. And I think you do, too. Maybe others disagree with me.
Please keep posting, Lou. Just be as sensitive to others' feelings about your topic of choice as you would like them to be about your one-track posting. Mutual respect is the key.
