I've read and re-read every post on this thread with academic detachment. It is understand how many people understand what I am purposefully doing. Wrongs are not righted by wrongs. It is a preschool lesson. So how can people who were messed up by the same group understand what I am doing and why I am doing it now rather than one year ago. Yet others just go on believing I am stupider than the most stupid creature or plant in the entire universe and in dark matter. I have no idea. Nor will I waste more time analyzing why it may be so. Let me state for the official record. I expected no one to understand why Barb and why now. I admire her. Some people do understand. It shocked me.
Why should I be so shocked that some people here know the lessons I constantly teach b/c the stakes are so high for me? You have the best leaders in the world already here. B/c I've been here a while. To not indulge in Barbara worship is sheer heresy at this site! If I were to chooose a leader based on my vast experience, the last two people I would ever pick are Barbara and Cedars. I respect them both. Indeed, in what they excel no one may be better in the world. Yet when it comes to leadership and basic responsibility, they consistently fail. Well, Cedars is trying and may soon be a true leader.
You only have a few chances at the WT for any lasting impact. Dateline was one such extremely rare and pricelss moment. How a JW could summon up the courage and talk to Dateline reporters is extraordinary! No matter what happens I have the deepest admiration for anyone who could do it. Of course, I also know it doesn't take reporters about five minutes to make a point they need to make for a segment. Time and time again, someone is found at the very last second. Well, when the WT is riveted as they must be because of FB, what I am doing now, and Dateline appearances, I will never tolerate any lack of knowledge or bad performance. I never want to see the Dateline interview. God has kept me off it despite my strongest addiction and curiosity. Why should I be terrified of watching Dateline? Because of years of marketing, advertising, etc. experience. Yes, if you win a landmark case you are set for life both in practice, academia, and way better than Dateline episodes. Lose in a big way and you are over. Too much is at stake.
There is no underestimating how much I admire Tom Daschle. He is presently on a time out. Daschle did something so stupid, clumsy, borderline criminal, etc. when the stakes were at a historic high that he is now in the doghouse. Of course, he is now making up for all the time he never earned the money he should have. Still, Tom turned down hundreds of millions to be the Senator from South Dakota. No one would have ever heard of him outside So. Dakota had he not accidently stumbled upon a fellow Senator on his way to a family emergency. No one from South Dakota with no connections beat out John Kerry with every connection. Daschle had to endure and is enduring what I am doing now. He had never ever appear in public for a while. When Obama messed up the first debate in this last cycle, you better believe even tho he was president no tongue was not screaming at him. They put him through torture. He no longer debated with easy nice people. No, they pulled in someone known to break people. Obama will always hate that Senator. Well, better one Senator than an entire nation of decent people. Daschle will be back despite the hundreds of millions.
I know better stories but these are the only very public ones. The details were in every newspaper. Media people adore these stories.
So the WT may be laughing now because of what I am doing, the FB fiasco. Unless they are the craziest people in the world, we have much more power b/c one of us was willing to publicly say something about Cedars or Barbara without hating Cedars or Barbara. We are not the same people as a few months ago. Some catastrophes make you stronger. This needed to be aired in the way I did it. Don't blindly follow leaders. My Lord, anyone with the most basic knowledge of how the world works know never worship evil to combat a lesser evil. Stalin and Hitler never took power and said "Bam. Slam." No, people can fight that. Dictators do it by exposing bad things and making universal issues over nothing. The constant barrage of low-level dehumanization is far worse than facing a concentration camp. I know from reading and personal experience I will never reveal. Enough is enough. Perhaps Barbara will take out the WT one day b/c I did this. She has far more dedication and personal talent than I do. A little flaw just needs to be adjusted if she is willing.
