If we are afraid to speak our mind here and criticize whom we will how can we then expect JWs to have the courage to do what we ourselves will not do. They fear to speak out, so do many here.

Leaving,
"IMHO, the spirit of your comments are in violation of this specific portion of Posting Guideline #11."
And yet I have not even done what Raymond Franz and Ed Dunlap did. I'm just stating my opinion among friends and in front of the powers that be here on JWD. Do you really believe my "violations" warrant scrutiny? Do you not see that to disallow disagreement here is just the same as what the Watchtower does to its members?

Leaving, I'm not disputing moderator decisions. I'm merely stating my opinion. Or are you saying that to merely state our opinion is tantamont to disputing? Do you not see that is just what the elders in the JW congregation teach?

The older posters here know what I'm referring to. There is a code of silence here not too different from Watchtower. But the old time posters know exactly who I'm referring to when I mention those years, when AlanF, and others, were "disfellowshipped" here. Unclebruce knows exactly what I mean. Other forums were started because of a grand "disfellowshipping" here years ago and only the older posters know of this. Sadly, not too different from the Watchtower.
Ask Farkel.

Sab,
The GB, such as it is, is the "owner" of the JW world. Yet, we all know a wrong when we see it. If it is wrong for them to ban criticism, something we decry, is it not also wrong when we do similarly?

No Room...
It is interesting isn't that we must be careful what we say lest we be banned here. Not for obscene speech or claims of being the Messiah ect, but only for saying we don't like or agree with what a prominent ExJW has to say!
This is very much like the JW religion operates!

Knowsnothing,
Those in charge don't like to be disagreed with. It's just a human failing. And it is a failing found everywhere!!

Knowsnothing,
I agree! But there have been times here when disagreement took the sad road of "disfellowshipment." For instance one of the premier posters in the exJW world, AlanF, was thrown off this site. As were other prominent posters. My point? What goes around comes around. We cannot put down the GB for throwing out members who disagreed with them when we ourselves are doing the same thing!!

Can those prominent in the "apostate" world be criticized? We expect that JWs be willing to read and swallow what is written here about their leaders and I agree with this. But...do we also allow criticism of those taking the lead among us? Or is there a double standard here?
Can a poster here criticize and vehemently disagree with recognized "leaders" in the exJW world just as many here disagree with the Watchtower or religion in general?
Or do we exercise a GB standard here: criticize those who take a leading role among us and you get your mouth taped shut?
