@Eryberrie This contradiction is part of what makes them utterly schizophrenic in their dealings with outsiders. At times WBCers express pity, sadness…
@Eryberrie …and gratitude to God that they’re “not like them” (these are the moments when they’ve mentally enshrined a sovereign God at the helm).
@Eryberrie Other times they express outrage & disdain, celebrating—& formerly, praying for—the misery of outsiders. (This is when they’re blaming men.)
@Eryberrie For partly the same reason, the elders contradict one another—and themselves—from sermon to sermon. The cognitive dissonance is real.
@Eryberrie (It also makes for an insane God. “WHY DID YOU DO THE THINGS THAT I HATE THAT I MADE YOU DO AND OVER WHICH YOU HAVE NO CONTROL?!” #psycho )
