  Blondie:Jehovah?s Law covenant with the Israelites demanded that compassion be shown to the vulnerable and needy.

  Are the needy and vulnerable cared for in your KH or the one you used to go to? Were you a needy, vulnerable one who was overlooked?

  Now, Blondie! It's obvious that the Law covenant referred primarily to caring for their spiritual needs, otherwise why would Jesus have critically mentioned telling those in need to go, keep warm and well fed... oh, I see your point . Just kidding.

  BluesBrother: Surely there is a fancy name for this type of fallacious reasoning. The statement above is true and appeals to a reasonable person's sense of justice and honesty.

  Yes, there is such a name. Quite a sophisticated word. This type of argument is called "sophistry." The WTS writing staff are Sophists. I have freeness of speech. They do not. Their words trip too easily over each other without carefully guarded care.

  Peace,

  blondie: you'd be surprised how I could slide some of my comments in with the conductor only looking bewildered and then afterwards have several "brothers and sisters" come up and compliment me on my answers, cautious as a serpent and innocent as a dove."

  See, jst2laws? That's the same thing that happens with me. The conductor and elders wince in seemingly physical pain and the rest (those skinned and thrown about...) compliment my comments... it is something different than the Pablum (using both connotations) they all swallow, regurgitate, and pass on to the next person who gets the microphone. They don't even drink milk, let alone chew real spiritual meat.

  Blondie, I have even used that same scripture explaining my approach to gently waking up others.
