More points have been made since last night. But there is no way Iām fully responding on my phone. I donāt have the thumb stamina for that.

Iām not a WT apologist. Simon is the owner and creator of this site.
What we have is a disagreement. When people are called trolls and AM defenders, and in my case, making Nazi arguments, you tend to get a very negative reaction. Iāve posted here for years.
Also, there seems to be a recent pattern of āI donāt like your position, therefore you are a Nazi, or at least a cultistā. Itās just not a valid argument.

Oh so you are saying that if he wasnāt buying, I would have gotten council?
And when I would visit an elderās home with liquor cabinets stocked, that too is elder āprivilegeā?

@BourneIdentity..
Except, as I have mentioned, I have had the exact opposite experience. Not a hypothetical scenario, a real actual experience, as a baptized witness, buying three (3) bottles of vodka in front of an elder (he was buying too), and everything was just fine.
So where do we go from here?

@Incognigo Montoya:
Thanks for the response. I want to address your points a bit later. It seems you are willing to discuss rationally, but I am at work at the moment.

The similarities are glaring. But I think you have been away too long to see that, Your view is somewhat myopic.
This is not an argument. I can say the same about your views.
Tony has bashed everything and everyone. He may not have bashed his purchase specifically, but he has bashed it in kind.
What do you mean by that specifically? If you mean tight pants, no I donāt buy it as applicable to this. Unless, of course, the principle is that just as he bashed silly things, so can we.
Do you understand what is meant by the term āspirit of the lawā?
Yeah. But if you want to claim that sort of thing, you have to make a case with real criteria. If I ask why he violated the spirit of the law and you say, that it clearly implies drunkenness, then fine. But if I provide counter points that reveal itās a hasty conclusion and then the reason shifts to the cost, itās a bad sign. If it shifts again, itās even worse.
So, you say Tony didnāt bash 12 bottles, so his 12 is ok. But he bashed 13...
12, 8, 13, 50... Iāve been asking from the beginning if he condemned purchasing alcohol in a similar context. If he bought 50 bottles, it wouldnāt change the principle.
I stick to my view that you are trolling.
And I stick to my view you are masterbating.
Are you being compensated by the click?
Yeah, actually. AM himself promised me some of that smooth scotch while we try on uber tight 80s band spandex.

@lastmanstanding.
Just one massive glaring difference. The organization had taken a certain position regarding the UN that made its association hypocritical. On the other hand, their position regarding alcohol does not make Tonyās actions hypocritical.
Unless, of course, the organizationās position has changed since I was active, or perhaps AM has personally condemned buying more than, say, three bottles of liquor at a time?

@BourneIdentity:
Alrighty. Mixing Family Fued and Jesus. Pure gold.
Your entire argument is that since Tony argued some truely untenable positions in the past, letās adopt one too, and give him a taste of his own medicine. Alright, but that falls flat with me. Itās just an emotional response to seeing him buy alcohol. The religion was/is very restrictive, and it hurts people. And you want to lash back at it. Itās much better to shake your head at the crazy tight pants talk than it is to argue he did soo much worse. Actually, you said it was 1000 times as worse as your first two examples. You are right. The first two examples were Tonyās idiocy, not serious at all. 1000 times that is also a big nothing burger.
And, look, thatās fine. I didnāt say AM wasnāt an asshole. He looks a lot like the guy that ran TreadStone. But just realize, your gripe against him is emotional, not objective.
As Iāve said, I know witness and non-witness families that have more than $1000 of alcohol in their house. If you are assuming buying 12 bottles of scotch at one time necessarily implies it will be consumed quickly as a drunkard, this is called āprojectionā.
