I understand what you are saying Sylvia....but at the same time if we were to do that same behavior on let's say an ex-Morman website that former members go to for healing it would not be acceptable behavior and we would get called on it.
Let's say someone went onto a Jewish website claiming the Holocaust happened but it wasn't exactly as advertised...that Nazi Germany under Hitler was a bit aggressive but simply imperfect? Let's say they started claiming that they knew Hitler and his cronies personally and they really were loving people ad they find these claims hard to beleive? Maybe they claim that they were part of Hitler's regime and never saw any of these claimed atrocities happen...but that they themself in life have been thru things that would blow the Jewish victims minds??? Would that be considered acceptable???
Did you see Mouthy get hurt by these shenanigans yesterday? We emailed yesterday and she is done here because of this. It makes a mockery of victims of the org and their experiences. Claiming that elders are kewl with a JW posting on sites like these and even allow one to pioneer is simply telling many of the posters here their stories are BS. It made light of Mouthy's situation to the point she could no longer stay here. I am not angry because I take it as a slight to myself- I could care less of her comments about me or my character. I think everyone here knows me well enough to decide what is true about me. I am angry for the message it is saying to others on here, some of which could be lurkers made uncomfortable to post as a result.
