After reading the threads on fading vs speaking out openly against WT policies, I was struck by how similar this is to the Underground Railroad during slavery, and later, resistance to Jim Crow.
In both situations, some jumped at the opportunity to escape bondage or oppression. Others chose a more indirect approach and were often reproached for doing so.
In the case of the Underground Railroad, several factors kept slaves rooted to the plantation - fear of the unknown, concern for families left behind, a sense of loyalty and indebtedness to their masters, a deep hope that things would, must, get better.
Resistance to Jim Crow operated along similar lines. Those who had the least to lose were at the front of the battle. Others, encumbered by family and finance, took a more cautious stance.
Yet, all were convinced that slavery and Jim Crow were wrong and used whatever means for resisting that were at their disposal!
Let us try to remember that and not hold any in contempt for whichever way they decide to deal with WT.
