Well, went to the Circuit Assembly on Saturday.
There was was a family on stage, with two kids I will call "The Stepford Children". (or would it be "The Dunwich Children"? Nah, they weren't that spooky or intelligent...)
The theme was about fighting "permissiveness". One of the boys on stage was talking about the sad state of his school, in that "there was a homosexual student at his school, and that how all the students and faculty treated him like he was an alright guy and dealt normally with him."
After the meeting, in the car, my son (who is in high school) asks me, "Well, how should they have been treating him? Should they all be making fun of him, calling him names and abusing him?"
So, what a lot of people are calling "tolerance and understanding", the JWs call "permissiveness".
Side note on the two kids on stage: The younger brother actually used expressions like "low sink of debauchery" in his prepared Q and A text. I really wanted to reach out and pull one of the hairs out of his head.
