That is an interesting question. Is that the real basis for the outrage here: that you picture AMIII coming down hard on you if you were the one buying and he was the one observing?

... even though there is no personal (AM has not come out against this personally) and organization position on this?

@lastmanstanding:

Mustard, you are trolling me thinks.

Years back, we had a guy like that, stuck up for the bOrg no matter what.

I am sure that was an xJW just winding people up

and I think you are just winding people up too.

Your position has become quite nonsensical.

Are you trolling?

Look, I have no dog in this fight, so-to-speak. If he was being hypocritical, then he was being hypocritical. Why you think I am “going to bat” for the organization is confusing. I am talking about AMIII buying a bunch of expensive scotch.

Why is it a scandal? For a while it was because he bought alcohol, then it turned into expensive alcohol, then just spending a lot of money, then the quantity of alcohol (so many bottles). Or perhaps it is because just being a GB member, someone might get the wrong idea... the arguments are all over the place.

Look, if AMIII had been caught wearing spandex, then you would have something. Why? Because he is famous for telling people not to wear tight pants, and women that wear spandex are horrible women, right? So if he were caught in spandex, clear cut case of hypocrisy. But what about alcohol? The only standard I have seen is drunkenness. Not buying alcohol, not consuming expensive alcohol, or what amount you spend. It’s actually being drunk. If you had caught AM drunk, then yeah, big time issue.

I am not being nonsensical. Rather, just insisting on a rational position.

Should it be a scandal if a brother wears taylor fit dress pants? Should it be a scandal if a sister wears spandex while jogging outside?

No, and no.

I don't think it should be, yet Tight Pants Tony has to bring it up in front of 8 million viewers and say how disgusting it is and not appropriate for a Christian to do. Are either of them a sin or wrong? Not at all.

Right. What’s the point? Oh, wait, I see. So he created crazy restrictions on people in the past, so we are OK to create crazy restrictions for him? Alright, why stop there?He was wearing a silly hat. Perhaps that hat was a bit too homosexual for a member of the GB?

Let's say it's the summer and the Regional Convention is going on. A group of 10 brothers walked into a bar with their convention badges on and asked the bartender for a couple $100 bottles of whiskey and they all enjoyed a glass or two. There is no sin at all in what they are doing, expensive drinks aren't a sin, walking into a bar isn't a sin, doing any of that while you're in town for a convention isn't a sin, but be honest, what would Tony say? Would he say that is completely fine and actually encourage it to give a witness that they are in town for the convention?

Honestly, no. You are right, he would say that during conventions you should behave like a good little robot. We all know you are on a different set of rules during conventions, you know, to keep up appearances. We know this because of the published positions of the WT. But now, to you, honestly - why do you think this situation is equivalent to your scenario? He wasn’t at a bar, it wasn’t a convention. And if you are going to insist that he should be worried about appearances, be an extra uber-JW because of his position as a GB member, then OK - that’s the principle. These guys really can’t buy alcohol at all.

That would be ridiculous, actually extremely stupid and I would expect a similar thread with lots of outrage and confusion, just more Mr Whippy jokes.

Ok, so it’s not the item. It’s not that it was liquor. It’s that it was $800, correct?

The hypocrisy isn't in the deed. It's in the words he preaches. The deed is benign.

Ok. But when has he said anything about not buying alcohol? Has he placed limits on alcohol purchases?

It’s not a staple, single malt whiskey or any alcohol for that matter, it’s a luxury. It’s a luxury that Mr Morris cannot afford.

Ok. So it’s a luxury that makes it a scandal. Would it be alright if he bought cheap whiskey? What if he bought $800 worth of iced cream?

@BourneIdentity:

First off, love your work. Sorry for all that TreadStone business...

MMM, it is of my opinion that this is such a big scandal due to the man involved. You know, the most judgmental prick on the planet, the holier than thou, the man who’s shit doesn’t stink like the rest of us.

Right. So if this were a different, more soft-spoken, member of the GB, it would be OK?

I’m sorry if I’m coming across as upset, but it really bothers me that he has the gall to tell little children they can pass up on the ice cream and send their $$$ to the Society, but he has no problem buying $100 bottles of booze. It’s downright sickening.

No problem. I imagine you would have a short fuse after getting shot in the back, losing your memory...

OK, so it’s not the alcohol per se. It’s the fact that he is spending any money on himself? Basically, he should be a monk if he is going to ask for donations, encouraging kids to send in their money?

Hey MMM, do you understand that one does not need to get drunk, slur your words and stumble around drunk, to develop alcohol dependence?

Hey 2+2=5, And purchasing 12 bottles at a time doesn’t imply dependence. I’m trying to work out the principles behind the reasons why this is viewed as a scandal. Nobody is offering any clarity...

So you think he is dependent?

MMM - How can wasting over 800 dollars on booze be exemplary?

Right. So it’s the amount? If he purchased $200 worth of liquor, it would be OK? And it is “wasting” money because of the product purchased?

He is the one demanding 8 million others practice austerity so as to contribute their surplus to the cult. Twelve bottles of top-end single malt deserves an explanation.

Ok, so the GB should not buy liquor at all because it could be used for “more important things”? What if he bought iced cream, which seems equally useless?
