Why the relentless attacks on the JW's? I don't agree with a lot of there doctrine, but as a believer in Jesus Christ... I see no need to castigate them or the organization at every turn. Also, do not see the need to do that with those that don't believe.
I know you claim to be a Christian, is there nothing in your belief system that teaches you how to be with others? Believers or not?
... Just wondering
I guess we will have to see how this pans out in court as the father is taking legal action, but I have an incling there is more to this than an idiot organiser stopping a disabled person at the door. You may not be aware that other cults take a very discriminatory view of disabled people - the Mormons for instance do not accept that a mentally handicapped person can be "saved".
I accept that I may be wrong on this one, but there is a significant amount of media on it this week and I noticed it. If I'm wrong I will apologise.

Would you have brought this issue up if it had been your particular version of Christianity that this had happened?
I make no bones about my critic of organised religion and in particular to this forum, the Jehovah's witnesses.
I think you calling me on it is intellectually hypocritical, but I don't mind you doing so .

Proverbs 18:13 says, "When anyone one replies to a matter before he hers the facts, it is foolish and humiliating."
We don't know the facts.
For example, could it be that the girl has Ebola?
Not saying she does but there could be extenuating circumstances.

Originally posted by divegeesterSorry, I didn't mean to leave you out. The statement was for the benefit of all of us because we don't know the facts of the case and can't judge what happened without them. We should follow the principle Jesus stated. "Judge not lest ye be judged." Wouldn't you agree?

Originally posted by divegeesterThen why don't you speak out against those beliefs. A plethora should give you a nice large target. So far, the story is simply one of a disabled person demanding access - something that is commonplace to almost all organizations. You could just as easily say that the JWs don't pay women equal pay for equal work - and you would probably be right.
nothing about them "riles". The JW corporation has a plethora of beliefs which I am opposed to.

Originally posted by roigamAs an example of this thing of "we don't know the facts of the case and can't judge what happened without them", you cited the possibility that the girl had Ebola and implied that this might have been why she was excluded from the conference. What reason would the JW corporation have had for keeping secret the fact the she had contracted Ebola and that they were "the facts of the case"?
