Isn't it so that elders on judicial committees are required to judge people's motives purely by their actions? To claim that it's wrong for other people to do that is hypocritical.
And where have I labeled wrong your choice not accept Greg’s apology? Please, show us all.
As for Greg’s actions, yes, I pretty much agree with what you said and it is for those actions that he apologized.
As for whether a JW judiciary would accept his apology, I think they would. The fact that he offered an explanation for his actions need not take away from his apology. He apologized for his actions and offered an explanation for what happened. That he also shared his views on other issues is of no consequence to his apology. As long as his views are expressed genuinely then they represent honesty on his part.
I will not be drawn into an argument on this issue. I can see that you only have regard for your own views. It is fine that you hold your own views in regard (I do the same thing), but holding the views of others with such disrespect as you are here demonstrates bigotry. Unfortunately you hold your own views of Greg’s apology in deference compared to others holding dissimilar views. Fortunately there are others who can say that they respect your views even though they disagree with them. One day maybe you can so claim.
