But I believe that people shouldn't have that thin a skin. Free speech is about respecting the right of others to say things that will certainly bother and upset you, not just the things you like. If we censor words lest it offends people, we'll end up controlling the language so that only "approved" ideas can be spoken. Reminiscence of a particular organization, anyone?
Exactly. That's why I don't understand why people keep trying to guilt others into censoring themselves. They keep saying everyone has a right to say whatever, but then follow it up with why it would offend active JW's. It just makes me feel bad that people continue to pressure others to follow WT rules, no matter what they claim their motive is. As far as showing posts to active JW's, well, this is apostate material! It will NEVER be okay to show this to active JW's. You will ALWAYS have to be creative when presenting your ideas. Why should we feel bad for not making that easy for you?
Ah well, maybe after leaving such a high-control group it is hard to give up laying your expectations on others, I don't know. I don't like that they are now naming specific people. Is it some sort of marking? Are they expecting an apology? It's one thing to speak in generalities, but I think naming individuals is just another JW tactic for applying pressure to make everyone act the way that makes sense to you.
