  The real dividing line isn’t between apostates and apologists it’s between...

  excellent observation from zizek about communist regimes: they didn’t care if people accepted the ideology or took it seriously, so long as people acted as if the ideology was true, that was the important thing.

  in fact the regimes were deeply suspicious people who took the ideology too seriously.

  people who took the ideology seriously were dangerous because they were prone to noticing the inconsistencies and flaws in the system.

  They made a statement to that effect decades ago, about how 'unfortunately' there is a limit on what they can do to apostates.

  At a recent midweek meeting, a short documentary about translator William Tyndale was shown. It begins with this statement about his death:

  "His crime? Tyndale struggled to reconcile the teachings of the Church with his own study of the Bible."

  Fun fact: The exact same "crime" results in the same thing among Jehovah's Witnesses, resulting in figurative death, or disfellowshipping.

  I'd love that too but they would NEVER do that, reason being that 90% of 'interested' ones would be apostates. Even the LDS chat is very controlled, for the same reason.

  Narcissistic Elders/Pioneers

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  today, while listening to a book that covered narcissism, i was a bit surprised to find a connexion with those “seeking privileges” in the organization.

  while not being paid, pioneers, ministerial servants and elders invest a great level of time and effort in upholding their responsibilities.

  fear of being destroyed by god for not doing enough.

  Throughout all of human history, dangerous psychopaths, or at least annoying power-trippers, have been attracted to positions of power, whether it be religious heirarchy, political office etc. Many aren't of course but it does attract that type.
