Rick,
: This post was humorous in a sense, but came across as tearing down others who have devoted their entire lives to service in this religion.
And your message some time ago (is it deleted?), strongly suggesting that the WTS leaders fulfilled one prophecy about apostasy, would not?
Any criticism will come across as "tearing down", Rick. Reform is about tearing down, no matter what nice words you use for it.
I'm mostly distressed by this, Rick. It seems that many current and former JWs, like yourself, just can't come past censor-think. At once people start thinking "is this upbuilding" and then automatically start to think in terms of removing or censoring contrary ideas. Even Cygnus and COMF go along with this nonsense.
