Screen Name vs Character

by Amazing in

jw
friends

since my character is part of the issues that have been addressed by several posters, i thought that i would clear this up:.

teejay said: conclusion: no more insulting than you when you mentioned that one has to wonder about someone who'd pick the screen name "amazing.".

i am not sure if teejay shares agreement with what he quoted, but for discussion sake, i will treat it as though he does.

The Debate: Do JW's Need Respect?

by Mindchild in

jw
friends

this thread will hopefully serve as the platform for a friendly debate about the issue of how much respect the watchtower society deserves from ex-jehovah's witnesses.

do we blast the hell out of the borg and don't let a kind word in edgewise?

do we acknowledge that they have done some things right and (shudder) even good?

Venice

The court is now in session. (where's the balif)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before we begin looking at the Witnesses, let's keep in mind that there are many organizations that do many good things for people but are still involved in scandals concerning how people are treated, how the money is handled and the ethics/motives of the leaders. Some that come to mind are, The Salvation Army, The United Way, Unicef, The Red Cross...etc. Do we withhold our respect from these organizations and ignore the good that they do because there is some corruption? That of course is a personal decision but most people respect these organizations for the good that they are attempting to do in spite of the controversy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My objection is that the WTS is suggested as something comparable to a charitable organization as per association with the well-known and respected organizations named by the defense. This is misleading because the only objectives of the WTS are its own charity, not public works.
<B> Objection Sustained</B>

I also object to the inference made by the Defense in his opening statement he made with these words:

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They brought us all more personal freedom in the US because of their fights in the courts in the early and mid 1900's. They arguably teach good family values. At least when the children are preteen. It is arguable because each individual has a different idea about what they value in a family.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it fair to say that the JW’s did fight in court to secure freedom of speech but you should also remember that same freedom gave us massive amounts of pornography in this country as well. I also have to ask the Defense if protecting pedophiles is something that promotes family values? Is shunning something that promotes family values? I think the court should remind the Defense that these remarks are at best mixed in terms of being favorable to the Defense as we all know that the JW family values are simply programming by the WTS to create more Witnesses and expand their reign of terror.

Respectfully submitted to da Judge Venice.
