Now, Shel, that is really naughty. On two counts. Firstly, given that you are clearly talking about me, you should say so. This business of saying "someone" rather than naming a person is kind of weird, sort of passive-aggressive, which doesn't sit well at all.
Sigh. It's not passive-aggressive, dear Char (peace to you!). It was merely an attempt to keep the discussion between me and dear Sab (peace to you!), and if you wanted to join in, you, without referring directly TO you these many pages later, in case someone new decided to read the thread. That's it and that's all. Had I mentioned you, they might no go back read the ENTIRE thread and just assume they "know" what's going on from that point... which can be very misleading.

Secondly, you asked me to explain why I had qualified a statement as I had. I spent some time in replying to your question. You sought an explanation. I gave it to you. You appear to have ignored it, and you have reiterated the same baseless accusation.
Oh, no, I didn't ignore it. I just thought better of responding to it, given where the discussion has gone since I first referred to it. I don't think you... or at least one other... can take what I would share. So, I simply accepted your comments and left it at that.
Dear Char, may I ask you something? Do you think the JWs with which you have issues would consider your accusations "baseless"? Don't get me wrong; I agree with you as to most about them. My point, though, is that just because one disagrees and "sees" another's lack of faith (which I am SURE you believe is the case with JWs, yes?) doesn't mean they're judging them or thinking poorly of them. Yes? Or do you think JWs have faith in God and Christ?

I've just read your latest post, which was posted as I was writing this. Actually, Shelby, you say it isn't important, but it IS in fact important. I thoroughly dislike being called into doubt, asked to explain something, going to lengths to oblige at the expense of something else I really ought to have been doing and then not only having that explanation ignored but the same accusation being repeated. And then see you saying it doesn't matter.
It really won't do.
Dear, dear Char... I am going to ask you something else. What that not the VERY thing that occurred on this thread from the start? Someone called for explanations... I and others (some of us going to great lengths) responded... some, including you, expressed doubts... etc.? What issue did I take with you for doing so, dear one?
Now, I CAN comment on your response... but, again, it is not important enough to ME... to do so, as I believe it will add FURTHER to the contentiousness of the discussion... and I don't want that. But if you insist, then you will leave me no choice. I leave it to you to decide, dear one, but please keep in your mind and heart that it is me... and am not sure I can do so in any way other than what I know.
Again, peace to you!
YSSFS of Christ,
