Well, couldn't that argument be applied to anything? "No officer, I didn't extort money from him, he just chose to keep his kneecaps intact, instead of keeping the money he had in his safe."
If you are taking a negative action against a certain behavior then you are enforcing against the behavior.
Yes!!! Anything!...... (to take your example.....now your going to be arrested)
The difference is our culture has deemed personal and religious freedom as being EXTREMELY important!
You and I have the choice to determine who we do and do not assoiciate with. You and I do NOT have the choice to determine who someone else can or cannot associate with.
The jdub orgainzation is simply making membership requirements. The individual dubs are choosing to be a part of that organization. That is their personal and religious freedom at work. Does it suck? You bet. Is it bullshit? You bet. Does it fuck the most important sub group of jdubs... born ins? ABSOLUTELY.
Everything comes with a price... Religious and personal freedom is very expensive... but it is worth every penny and more importantly every ounce of blood that was spilled for it.
At the end of the day.... dubs and other high control groups are choosing to cheapen the price of freedom and just give their choices away.
