see how judgemental these people are. These are the people you are asking advice from. People who do not care for answers that do not fit in with their own hatreds, differences, petty arguments, pet pevs, etc.
When I said I didn't care to know, I was meaning I didn't want to pry, to find out the juicy gossipy details, etc.
Also
I see posts here of, "See you later good friend.." and "we are such a friendly bunch..." "the people here are my family..." etc.
I doubt many of these people even know each other personally. They have judged these people to be good people simply because they have a common ancestry, JWs or used-to-be JWs.
Do you care to hear an honset evaluation? or do you just want to hear what you hope people may do, pat you on the back, "go get em'", "thata boy", and just agree with you, just because the common enemy is the WTBS & JWs?
If gsark is referring to the "adulterous woman" of Jo 8 then he is referring to a spurious text added centuries later (how do they know? because earlier manuscripts simply do not contain the text), that virtually implies the justification of sin. Even bible scholars, who are not JWs recognize that.
I didn't get into all the possible permutations of who you can talk to and who you can't. It would take to long to list. Ask gsark he/she seems to like to list all the possible combos.
detective for the name your you certainly don't fit the moniker. Don't jump to conclusions so quick.
I wasn't attempting to theorize about all the wrongs those kids MIGHT have done. How can I provide some kind of reference point to start from if I don't use some kind of example?
But then maybe you do want your children hanging around people who will lead them down the wrong path?
My brother went to go see my sister who is a drug addict, alcholic, whore, and whatever. He was telling her that this lifestyle was not good for her. There was some idiot (a false comforter) there who said, "how can you say that to your sister, [blah, blah, blah crap]."
She would rather have her "friends" tell her that there's nothing wrong with drinking your life away, or other things she had to do to maintain her lifestyle. My brother and family are trying to get her off this stuff but apparently people like you keep saying there's nothing wrong with it.
freeman -what would you rather have, someone who doesn' t give a shit about who your kids hang with or someone who is going to provide you something to think about and hopfully evaluate properly?
