Hi Kristin,
(this is an aside really)
Like Cygnus, I am bemused that after being here for more than 1 year, I have hardly ever seen the founders and administrators of H2O posting important matter for consideration in support of reform
(except LE if he is a founder?).
It was great to see your impassioned comments on the reinstatement of Covert, and I really do look forward to hearing more of your views and issues with the Organisation.
(end of aside)
From your latest posts, you it seems you believe that it is the "current sociopaths" who are responsible for the current situation. Certainly I agree that the pyramid measurements have an important place in WT history (and chronology), and that they do throw light on the current WT teaching and practice. Most witnesses I know, however acknowledge the sordid past, and really do not want to look at it at all.
It perplexes me, however, that from your earlier posts you seem to want to get back to the original teachings (I assume you mean the appointment of the slave, etc), and now you are discrediting even them.
I think that this is the quandry that Cygnus was trying to point out, and probably suggesting that there are far more pressing issues (like shunning, blood et al) which we anticipated we would be hearing from you about.
Do you think that your elder's response to you that you mentioned would be echoed by witnesses in general when you raise this topic with them?
Love,
Andrew.
