Not surprising. Many on this forum who are aghast @ all other JW arguments still subscribe to this one. The christian ethic has really screwed alot of us up. Me too, until I had kids. That changed that pacifist, give your life for even your enemy bullshit toute-suite for me.

The WT actually was rather generous in simply claliming we're too slow to use a gun... they just as easily could have said, "Your type has neither the cranial capacity nor the opposable digits to operate a firearm."

In any case,
the attacker is likely to be quicker on the draw than the victim.
Hell, they sure are fast to pull a Reasoning book out when Harry Householder has an objection....

I was speaking for myself. Did'nt say all of us. Many xtians I know would do the smart thing and blow someone away rather than let them enter their house and fuck with their family. Let God sort 'em out, etc. I said "alot of us". And I was'nt screwed up as badly as many. My dad's the only elder I know who has kicked TWO asses at jw functions, while in a servant position. So, I had a different view. STILL to passive initially, though.

Yeah. Having kids changes the perspective. One thing is willing to die, letting your kids get harmed is something else.
