Of course I could be wrong. At which time I will NOT eat my words. I will simply change my perception. "Eating words" are for those who "paint themselves into corners". I don't consider those cliches to be productive for the kind of risk taking that results in creative thinking.
My knowledge of personality leads me to believe that at the very least GB presents a consitent style of temperament. This tells me that the individual is not playing a "character" but IS the character being presented. This is very difficult, though not impossible for a hoaxer. What? Am I to believe that this is a person who is possesed of the Devil. I'm sure some might conclude that. But so far I have not seen any good debunking.
As far as being a "hypocrite". Yes, I think that would describe a portion of my behavior. I don't give a damn about such words. I made it clear that for the sake of family unity I still would be identified as a JW. I will lie, steal, and kill for survival if there is no other alternative. At the present time I feel it necessary to avoid significant conflict so my wife doesn't go crazy and kill herself. Indeed! I am a hypocrite in an organization of hypocrites.
As far as the GB members. I think at one time they were idealistic, energetic, young men hoping for something wonderful and better. They are now facing death without ever seeing the things they hoped for.
I enjoy your posts. You do excellent stuff. I just think you need to lighten up on the personal attacks ie. Karl Klein (brain dead from birth).
