Oh dear, Oh dear! We have got ourselves in a tizz!
It seems to me.............
............................ that in these days of "non-discrimination', those taking the 'high ground' will have us accept that whatever INDIVIDUALS do must be accepted.
Now IW, in your customary WT defense mode, you say:
I AM DEFENDING THOSE BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHEREVER AND WHOEVER THEY MAY BE WHO LOVE THEIR FELLOW MAN AND BELIEVE THEIR RELIGION HAS GOD'S BLESSING.
Sounds good, but what are the facts?
I have seen INDIVIDUAL JWs:
* Push past DF individuals (literally, push past, and I include elders)
* Insult yet-to-be DF ones in their own homes.
* Slam a KH door IN THE FACE of a DF individual
Need I go on?
Why should the JW people who have no control over the GB or over the Watchtower be so put down here?
The truth is that the individual JW can be JUST AS REPREHENSIBLE as those they follow. I agree they don't "make the rules", but as our learned Fark has pointed out, this is the "Nuremberg" defense. " It don't cut it here."
I will agree that there are many, if not most, JWs who are decent folk, and I include my own family in that, but when it comes to DF, it seems to me that all the rules (of behaviour) "fly out the window".
My comments are based on what I HAVE SEEN, not some idealistic view of the Borg.
Cheers, Ozzie
