Correcting Another Believer
15 “If another believer[a] sins against you,[b] go privately and point out the offense.

Seems like for whatever reason, you are refusing to directly address my post.
So, I'll have to do it the hard way. Is it correct to infer the following from your post?
1) There shouldn't be any JWs who ",in any way, participate in Lent or pre-Lenten celebrations such as Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, etc."
2) Those JWs who do participate in some way are NOT in "full and complete agreement" with the Watchtower Society and the majority of JWs.
I guess you do not understand my answers. Must be to long. But yes you pretty much are stating what I said.

So if I'm understanding your comment and thought, you feel in order for the statement I said to be true, then everyone that says they are a JW, they have to completly 100% agree and no matter their maturity and understanding on any level of what we believe?
Is this your question?

I made the following statement:
"As you've already acknowledged, the reality is that there are JWs who are not in 'full and complete agreement' with the Watchtower Society and the majority of JWs."
You responded with the following basically accusing me of lying:

Why, then, do you look at the straw in your brother's eye, but do not consider the rafter in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Allow me to extract the straw from your eye when, look! a rafter is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First extract the rafter from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to extract the straw from your brother’s eye.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneI'm surprised that by now you haven't realised that robbie carrobie and Galveston (and probably all JWs) only answer those questions they consider support the WT governing body's stated opinion and direction. The obfuscation you are experiencing is otherwise manifested:

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneEspecially as applied to other Christians. They think they can get around this by claiming that other Christians are not "real" Christians.
Perhaps they don't believe in the second commandment of Jesus:
"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
