In which case you agree. And we're all happy.
I mean, I think JWs are totally whacked out as far as weird religious ideas mixed together with an authoritarian heirarchy, but do I spend even a minute "exposing" the JWs in my town? No. Can I talk to them calmly and intelligently when they cometo my door? Yes. And the reason is simple: the JWs have not impacted my life in the same way the Family has. The Family has defrauded and oppressed me and those I love and care for, put out the "Story of Davidito" book and set up Victor Camps, which directly affected SGs that I know.
I suppose that the Family has a right to their weird beliefs, and someday I may be less upset about it. To me it's not only WHAT they believe but the fact that when they had us by the balls intellectually, they FORCED their beliefs down our throats and people who "doubted" (interpret: "formed their own religious views") were punished, shamed, beaten and sent to Victor Camps where they did hard labor.
The doctrines and heresies may be their right to believe, but is it their right to put on the fuckin' Gestapo boots and crush all other religios views that spring up in Family member's minds? That is not religions or their "right to believe what they wish". That is robbing individual Family members right to believe what they wish.
What a scream!! Under the guise of "religious freedom" the ROB thousands of their members of their own religious freedom. The Victor Camps are the mental and spiritual Auswiches in testimony to the Family's intolerance of others' rights to religious freedom.
