And the other names are...? Do the counsellors you talk to on the phone share this opinion? I guess I can't expect you to answer that one. If the Universal House of Justice's April 7 letter is about Juan, then it needs to come up with some pretty good evidence for the accusations contained in it. Currently the House seems largely reliant on descriptions of Talisman and its discussions that are sent to it by disaffected Talismanians. As far as I'm concerned, Juan's ideas are a breath of fresh air, and I've seen no evidence of him using his "position" (what position is that, anyway?) in any underhand way. If individually expressed ideas can undermine the Covenant, then we might as well all go home. These silly witch-hunts aren't doing anybody any good, and I applaud people for resigning, and for taking whatever protest actions their consciences tell them to take. You too, Susan. If you're following your conscience on this one, then good on you. ka kite, Steve -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alison & Steve Marshall, Aotearoa | "Fanaticism consists in redoubling forumbahai@es.co.nz (New Zealand) | your efforts when you have forgotten Try: https://www.rightwords.co.nz/ | your aim." - George Santayana Homepage |
