By using the label "worldly" the WT shortchanges people. The same people it quotes as authorities in its magazines can also be easily dismissed if their opinion disagrees with the WT viewpoint by simply stating that after all, those persons are "worldly". But those who use this term also shortchange themselves. Seeing things only in black and white blinds you to the reality of technicolor.
Take my name Jimmy Page for example. On the one hand you could label Jimmy as a spiritistic immoral drug addict. And you would be right. But then you would be missing out on the beauty and power of Zeppelin's music. Instead of labelling it "heavy metal" Page himself said that his music consisted of large degrees of "light and shade".
I remember playing "In Through The Out Door" at home. When my dad heard it he instantly noticed the album bounced from a latin feel to country, to blues, and beyond. I remember when he wanted to watch my copy of "The Song Remains The Same". I didn't think he would get it. But he loved the part where drummer John Bonham raced his hot rods. Dad used to work in a pit crew himself pre-cult.
Maybe I shouldn't label Dad as a hopeless Dub. Maybe I should try to connect with his pre-cult identity by discussing those things that interested him in life prior to becoming a Witness. Maybe then I will see his own large degrees of "light and shade".
