"It's a curious fact ...let us acknowledge it...that the most well-known apologist today for Jehovah's Witnesses is an openly gay man."
A provocative but effective one-liner isn't it? Read more here: http://carriertom.typepad.com/sheep_and_goats/2010/09/proposition-8-mormons-jehovahs-witnesses-and-joel.html
Thank you, Ivan, for picking up the link.
ReplyDeleteJoel himself emailed me shortly after the post appeared, to say "......thanks for writing your blog about Prop 8 and me. It was a good read. I wouldn't call myself an "apologist" for JWs (plenty of doctrines I don't agree with), but I certainly value our Constitutional rights to speak, believe and live as we see fit."
Just to clarify. I called him an apologist after seeing others call him that on the web. But he doesn't see himself that way. I'll shortly append my own post.
Hi:
ReplyDeleteNo, the line was good.. I liked it. It had a "zing" to it.
By the way, since I have the opportunity right now, I wanted to say that I enjoy reading your blog! It's a breath of fresh air from what others say and have said about Witnesses and related topics.
Best,
Ivan
