Steve
I am new at this site. I was not aware that you represented the policy of this board, and thought that you were only expressing your personal views as to its purpose. I am glad that you posted this information. I was just going to Post a similar Topic asking for this info when I came across your post and I said to myself, "he beat me to it" .
What also concerns me isTheme of this Website. that although according to to is purpose free expressions are welcomed, it is not wt.og or a wt advocacy link, It is a link where controvesial topics about the WT are discussed. If someone wishes to preach, go out in service I feel that preching on this web is disruptive to its theme. The issues discussed here are contoversial ones not those supporting the WT and just because such issues that support the wt are not discussed does not mean that indivuals deny them any merit. The focus of this link is controversy as I see it.
However, I also feel that epressing ones views, feelings and concerns is one thing and there is nothing wrong with expressing ones views or feelings especially by those that have been hurt, but false accusasations is not the smame. and anyone presenting any false charges even in controversy against anyone including the WT cannot express ofense in all fairness in light of the facts neither does any facts or arguments in defense mean preaching or advocacy of the WTor support against the WT. individuals should be be allowed to see evidence and arguments and also epress themselves freely and come to their own conclusions and not forced to line up with WT hatred or WT advocacy. Is not what this web is about?
Free minds?
Not all post express viewpoints. Some post exhibit evidence or aguments and point to a conclusion. In such posts, a memeber may wish to be free to challenge the evidence shown or refute the argument posted with counter evidence or counter auguments so that individuals reading may come to their free personal comclusion on that issue without distractions of hate.
While love of God means many things to many peple and many times causes people to murder other peple for the love of God, only one law is binding upon all people, not love of God as this means many things, but only one law to love your fellow man as yourself. This is my opinion.
