Get A Life Ep. 86 Discussing the labelling of an "Opposer"
Listen now
Description
Leave the brethren and stay silent and you are not allowed a meaningful relationship with family in the brethren. Leave the brethren and speak out and you are not allowed a meaningful relationship with family in the brethren. It seems to make no significant difference. It does seem, however, that speaking out publicly results in having the added label of being an ‘opposer’ and the brethren pray for your ‘removal’ because of the ‘poison’ we speak. What is an opposer? Why are we labelled as such? How is this label fueled among the brethren? What are our motivations for speaking out on a public forum? Lindy Jacomb joins the UK team to unpack this label and the implications of it. Join us as we delve into the brethren mindset towards ‘opposers’ and discuss the real fears the brethren hold towards speaking to such people. Take heart as we explain our motives for having public conversations about the brethren and share the emotion at the end when Lindy reads a poem about how it feels to be regarded as an opposer by those you love.
