There is no hypocrisy on my part. It was you, after all, and not me, who was lionizing him as a Christian. It was you who started the thread on the Spirituality Forum extolling him on account of the fact he was a Jehovah's Witness, not me.

When you were asked if his work would have been appropriate and acceptable in the eyes of his "elders" and his "brothers" at his Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall ~ you characterized this question as narrow minded moralizing.
You sought to defend him in this clumsily personalized way, bizarrely, on a thread where the very topic was his Christian principles ~ and by extension yours.

that the New Testament invalidates its foundation and there is
an "us and them" from Christians regarding Jews and the
Scriptural history and teachings?

I think it would be almost impossible to engage in any kind of vocation for a
Christian where one holds public office or carries a firearm.
As a result most of the poor benighted devils end up becoming window cleaners.
