Gedanken,
: That was my opinion too after reading his book.
I noticed early that you were one of those who said that the new emperor of JWapologia had no clothes. I expected no less.
Alan, on the other hand, is insanely patient, and set out to prove that Stafford is a fraud to such a degree that even the worst dimwit could see it. And he did. Impressive.
: Every single thing he has said on this board has only served to confirm that opinion. I sometimes think that too many people on this board view academic integrity and intellectual honesty as being optional.
There are two different reactions we see in JWs when they start to realize that the WTS has serious errors. It's those who are intellectually honest, and refuse to deal with endless excuse-making. And then there are those who are not.
: It is beyond me how anyone could have anything at all positive to say about such a pompous fraud. If the guy were a physician he would be selling snake oil.
Poisoned snake oil, probably :-)
