Edgy is not confused. If you say you haven't heard certain things about "apostates" in forty years, then you haven't. Edgy has, and knows people who have. Maybe it's from being in different parts of the world. Witnesses are no better or
worse than most people, but they have no spiritual paradise. They just isolate themselves so much, literally, and by selective perception, that they do develop some special perspectives and problems. Demonizing outsiders is one of them.
We're not guessing about this. Some of us have been in for a long time also, served, as pioneers, elders, etc.
