Many on this forum have asked Greg Stafford to apologize for his posting a message where he praised himself under a different name!
Stafford is his Mother’s son and he will never apologize.
After all has WTS ever, in any earnest, apologized for their mistakes and blunders:
Did Russell apologize when the Armageddon he expected did not materialize in 1914? No! Instead the wily goat raced down the steps at WTS HQs to breakfast on October 2, "briskly clapped his hands and happily announced that: ‘The Gentile times have ended’"!
Did Rutherford apologize about his 1925 fiasco? No way!
Did WTS apologize for leading JWs astray with their 1975 deadline when they recommended JWs quit their jobs, sell their homes etc. No. Instead Franz blamed the JWs when he asked his audience in the following year, "Do you know why nothing happened in 1975? It was because you expected something to happen."
Did the WTS apologize when they allowed vaccinations to be OK in early 1950s after banning them in the 1930s and 40s. Or did they apologize when they dropped their ban on organ transplants after 13 years in 1980? No! They did not even allude to their bans when they dropped the strictures.
Did the WTS apologize when they started to allow JWs to take certain blood derivatives? No!
Has the WTS substantially apologized for their numerous doctrinal flip-flops like the Sheep and Goats and the Generation doctrines to name just a couple of recent vintage?
Do you really expect the vainglorious Greg Stafford to apologize for his recent boo-boo? Hell, no! After all Stafford’s indiscretion on H2O pales in comparison with what WTS has done in its infamous history as a failed doomsday prophet.
