"I am not sure what you mean by "non violent
protest", Ninja. I am going to assume that your comment relates to the
recent display by some young, immature men at the Memorial.
A
violent act does not need to be defined by whether or not it causes
physical injury - many acts are violent in nature by the virtue of
aggressiveness. There is a big difference between aggressiveness and
assertiveness.
Aggressiveness attacks other people's space - assertiveness is about claiming your own space.
The
nature of the relationship between the JW adherents and the WTS is an
abusive and controlling one. And, with that in mind, any attacks or
aggressive methods only serve to tighten the bond between the WTS and
the JW.
So, your comment that "it
may just reach one person that experiences it. That one person is a
difference maker" is a fallacy. That one person comes at a pretty high
price - the aggressive actions required to 'save' that one person can,
and does, throw all the other JWs under the bus,
who could potentially be reached with more sophisticated methods. For
every one you 'save', you sacrifice the countless others who could be
'saved' but instead are pushed into an even tighter relationship with
the WTS by that aggressive action."
I meant what I said. Non violent protest. That is exactly what happened in the video. Your opinion about how mature it was has no relevance. They did not enter anyone's personal space. The memorial is a public event. They quickly left the public space after stating their opinion of the ceremony. Your argument holds no water. You sound like an apologist. Also, your claim that that type of protest would never reach anyone is unproven, hence you are stating a fallacy.
