Fisherman "Morpheus: I did not know you were a Bethelite when I posted to you ."May I respectfully, ask you why you asked such specific questions, regarding Morpheus's experiences at Bethel, Fishermen? This was why many ,including myself, questioned your motives -

I finally found something that Fisherman said that I can agree with. He states " ...I choose what is moral for myself." I think that it is important , that we all be afforded that opportunity . It is important to note that we are not entitled to impose our moral compasses on others. Surely you would have to agree Fisherman, Now Fishermen since we have come to some common ground, I would love to hear your Bethel experiences. I am sure that they would be enlightening, Remembering a time in your life , that you consider wonderful , will surely improve your outlook.

I totally agree with your last post Morpheus he was attempting to invalidate your credibility. Fisherman did not have the courage to do so in the light of day. I can almost guarantee he would have cherry picked the few questions that you where unable to answer as evidence to demonstrate your supposed lack of honesty. What is even more revealing is his feeling entitled to the interrogation of you away from the public eye, so that his conclusions could not be challenged. Does this not remind you of the elders, who feel entitled to stalk supposed adulterers by spying on their living arrangements, even though stalking is illegal?
I also feel that far from blocking him from our discussion we should let him carry on. His posts reveal the mentality of the witnesses. Witnesses prefer to cloak their actions in secrecy ie back room, secret elder manuals, letters that only elders are privy to, the inner workings of the governing body, the child sex abuse scandal. etc.

Well I gave you a chance to prove your point Fishermen. I would have concluded that perhaps Morpheus erred when he posted your pm, if you would have provided a sound argument as to why he should not have. For example ; if you sincerely thought that your Identity could have been compromised by posting one of the questions, or had entered into an agreement with Morpheus not share his email from you. Furthermore, you avoided disclosing your intent , when you sent the mail to him . I can only conclude from this that you sent it with nefarious intentions. There are several scenarios that come to mind , however with out proof, I will not discuss them here.
Note: I see that you just erased your last insulting post.

Band Green Day and JWs
by hardtobeme ina few years ago i heard of a story about two jw's being at a green day concert.
i think that the witnesses were bethelites.
the person that told me that story said that the band was about to play but they couldn't.

"The New Zealand variant of this involved Glen Campbell asking any JWs present at his NZ concerts to stand up and then ordering them to leave. "
Steve this one is urban legend is particularly amusing to me. You see in the United states it was widely reported that Glen Campbell was a Jehovah's Witness. I remember this well, because my mother was a big fan of his music. As a matter of fact , This was such a prevalent rumor that James Penton referenced it on page 367 of his book Apocalypse Delayed: The Story of Jehovah's Witnesses.
"For example, it was long claimed inaccurately that American singing star Glen Campbell was a Witness, and some went so far as too state that they had seen him at district conventions."
Jehovah's Witnesses can't even come to a consensus as to whom to embrace versus whom to vilify.

What I have seen fishermen is you avoiding the questions I have posed to you. If all your insulting posturing was just to make a point , you where truly not very successful. Advocating your position in any scholarly debate requires the presentation of facts not name calling. It is ok to disagree with any statement what is not necessary is being disagreeable. -

Fishermen I do not need an apology nor do I expect one. I fancy myself as rather open minded, however I base my conclusions on facts . I asked you two very easy questions. I promise I will answer your question regarding the posting of your Pm publically if you answer my questions. If you do not answer the questions, logic would dictate that you have an ulterior motive for not doing so. -

You actually have amused me Fisherman with your comment regarding my education. (I actually have earned several graduate degrees including a Phd.) Just because someone disagrees with you does not make them uneducated or a "moron" My point in the previous post was to remind you of your own claim that ...
We are just having a discussion here with no harm or malice or disrespect intended whatsoever to anyone. I respectfully submit that same courtesy that you requested, be extended to other posters. You can not automatically conclude that others posted in order to harm you.
In my particular case I have not made a decision yet, as to whether you have a valid reason to object to your pm being posted. What I do know is you have a valid objection or not, your approach to addressing the situation is abrasive and hostile. I need more information before I can come to a conclusion regarding the validity of your objection. I would love to know what the purpose of your pm to Morpheus was? Why did you ask him those particular questions?
