i am so tired of people coming on here and insulting those of us who call bullshit when we see it. am i reading this correctly? someone pointed out that what steve posted about the picture was not true, and now barbara anderson comes on here and calls the people who pointed this out "negative posters" and "JW apologists?" i really hope i have that wrong. if that is what has happened i am extremely sad to see barbara lower herself to this level. i mean, that is like right out of the watchtower textbook. i am blown away.
and Barbara then posts with a straight face the "its not a picture its an image argument"? are you kidding me? i cannot believe a person with her reputation and stature would do that. again, that argument is right out of the watchtower text book. frankly how dare you. we are not stupid.
and that you lump all of the critisms, the ones valid and not valid into 1 group is also right out of the watchtower text book. while its been proven the cases are real, and that critism is not valid, it is perfectly valid to hold steven accountable for the caption to the image he posted of that girl, because THAT WAS NOT TRUE! this is the exact quote of the caption "The above pencil drawing is an image of a young child in the Traralgon Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses that was recently raped by a fellow member of the church."
i feel spat on. im used to that with rick, he has shown his true character on these boards. but i am stunned and saddened that barbara anderson, who i respect and admire is doing this.
we have been victims of a cult, and have been lied to, told our entire lives what to think and believe, so if some of us ask for proof of things, or call bullshit when we see it, there is nothing wrong with that. and we should not be insulted or talked down to.
