Can a poster use the Koran to judge WL? Can he use the Apostles' creed to critique the Blendeds? Can the US constitution be used to evaluate the teachings of LSM? What yardstick can be used?

"If a poster has no credibility in the Bible and respect for the Bible as God's word, by what basis does he critique "the recovery" and its leaders?" Gee, maybe on the basis that the poster spent most of his life in "the recovery"? Or still has family there? Is that not enough?
I'm with
zeek on this one, I think it's important to clarify what assumptions are being made about participants in this forum.
Ohio is quick to agree that particular doctrinal positions should not be held as a requirement here; however, I feel that when his basic religious beliefs are challenged, he seems to forget that, well, that's OK!
P.S. I do agree with
Igzy and
Ohio, though, that
cheekiness should be strictly off-limits here. As we are all aware, "cheekiness" starts with "c", and that rhymes with "p", and that stands for "pool"!
