Utter crap. I was an elder for umpteen years. If
you do not agree with the WT, how can your conscience permit you to teach others what you believe to be falsehood? Once you stop the teaching, and remain in the congo, the elders are going to dig and find out why.
OR does not being true to yourself not bother you?
Bad attitude, my coddling. That's the root of
the problem. If one doesn't swallow the consistantly changing "new light" he isn't
using his mind to conscienciously disagree. He's
got a bad attitude. Us vs. them is a pretty comfortable place to be, eh Alan?
Oh, and I appreciate your knack for reading hearts of people you've never met and branding them with "bad attitudes" It must be wonderful to
have such an ability. You must be very proud
of yourself. The individual JW's who think as you
do usually are.
