Landy: When you start using terms like that (innocent children) you lose me. Can a child who's been the victim of abuse be anything other than innocent?
You've used the term for effect to bolster your argument. It's unnecessary.
Really, then you based your entire thread on such an "unnecessary" bolstering term that showed your true colors:
Landy: So, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is absolutely pro-JW, 5 is neutral and 10 is youtubing nutjob apostate, where do you stand?
Why isn't a 1 an "absolutely nutjob pro-JW" but a 10 includes such terms as nutjob as a qualifier? Data-dog nailed you. I believe somewhere on here fisherman and Richard Oliver are having a compassion-less technicality orgy and your presence is likely requested. It shows a lot that you would nitpick at the terms used to compassionately describe children while inserting your own in other contexts. You really know what the important things are, don't you.
Just for the sake of answering the question, removing the word nutjob that was merely there to indicate Landy's own prejudices, I vacillate between a 7 and 9, most likely, depending on my mood that day and what has hit me. I have no plans to be an activist, i.e. a 10 and to go all in, but I like to help people that are trying to leave and I do hate the organization that I left some days.
