The word " h * o * m * o " should not even be allowed on this board, but for Brad to start saying certain workers are gay is crossing the line. Maybe Brad himself is gay and feels guilty about it. Maybe he made advances to a worker and was rejected and so now he is lashing out at the Truth. He is the most mean-spirited p u n k I've ever encountered and needs psychiatric help more than anybody I've ever come across on the Internet. Seriously, Brad, the Truth may be flawed, but you're crazy and if you think you're a Christian with your venomous slanderous tongue you're even crazier. There's nothing wrong with being gay but there is something wrong with telling lies about people and spreading hate. You even said your sister tried to have sex with you. You have no shame. You're worse than any professing person I've ever known.

So many have used so many other nasty remarks that you just can not single out Brad. I don't think what he says is any worse then some calling others Evil exer who are (Lost out) - Going to hell. What is the difference? None
h0m0 implies something not right (sin) Evil ex-Lost out implies not right (sin)
So you are splitting hairs on which sin label is acceptable. I don't think this board is about political correctness is it?

h * o * m * o is a slanderous word. Harold Bennett isn't here to defend himself. It's not about political correctness. It's about saying anything about someone no matter how false. Next he'll say Howard Mooney was a child molester. And that will be A-OK with the people here?

Many of the workers might be gay but as you're not supposed to have any sexual relations, with women, or men, whether you're a brother worker or sister worker, it shouldn't matter. It's a life of celibacy and one's sexual orientation is irrelevant. The work might be a good place to go for professing people who were raised to believe homosexuality is wrong. But to call someone a "h * o * m * o" when he is not here to deny it , and use such a derogatory term (almost as bad as "f*g"), this ought to be grounds for being banned. Especially since Brad is repeat offender with many libelous things he has posted.
Clearly Brad has issues. He should spew them on his own Website and not ruin any sort of discussion for everyone else. I've been looking on here for the past month or so and his posts don't even make sense. He's insane. He has a vendetta against the Truth. He tries to say "God bless" and have a sunny picture of himself all smiling and charitable, but he's really a hateful, slanderous person. It's almost amusing when he thinks he's digging up dirt by quoting his convention notes and taking what the workers said out of context. He has a neurosis where he thinks he knows the Scripture better than anybody else, and reads false things into it.
I'm not a big fan of the Truth either but I would never be able to carry on a reasonable discussion of my experiences on this board with Brad on here calling workers h o m o s and relentessly trying to smear any worker in any way he can dream up. And his smiley face and "God bless" routine just he makes him seem even freakier. What a low-life.

I mean so someone says you are something which may be hurtful or not true of your character. I believe the linkage to (lost out--i.e. going to hell) is more slanderous that the label h0m0. It is about saying something about someone no matter how false is it. You are splitting hairs. One false claim is not any better or worse then another false claim. I happen to not like the word and implications of (Lost Out). If I did not lose out and you say I did without knowing the reality then you are slandering me also. I fail to see the difference.

Should you be banned?

What about Nathan calling Brad mental too?
Clearly Nathan and others are totally hypocritical.
The judge others by different standards than themselves.
I take that back. They judge others but don't judge themselves
Clearly Brad hit a nerve on this one.
It makes me wonder now why Harold doesn't answer on this.

Answer please....to me, the BIG difference is, most of us wouldn't feel the need to answer (whether *we should* or not is not the question here) if Bradley didn't put his crap out there to begin with. I don't see most people posting (note: most) about exs and how horrid they are and blah blah like Brad does about workers and people who still go to meetings. You can't understand the difference between a reasonable discussion and someone just trying to stir the pot??? Come on now.
Clear thinking: Why doesn't Harold answer this??? EVEN if it was true..and I am certainly not saying it IS...this is clearly a case where it is NONE of YOUR business..or anyone else's. M.

Why aren't some in the work who admitted to being homosexuals? It probably wouldn't hurt their credibility if Harold Bennet did come out with a statement that he was gay. What could make his reputation worse than it is? As some have said, who likes the guy? (except Nathan Barker who seems to esp not like this topic) -Clear Thinking

Does it matter then if the workers live in sin?
Aren't they the ones who preach their righteousness about living in your homes, eating your food, not having a job and covering up their afffairs with men's wives?
How many workers are pedophiles? I mean known pedophiles or sex offenders?
Somebody should look up on the internet the list of former workers who are known sex offenders.
There is something going on here more than a question. It's hit too big a nerve and someone is hiding something.

Do you think it's funny that elders suspect Harold Bennet of being gay?
That about sums up your religious beliefs.

Whether this man is or isnt homosexual wouldnt be any of our business..Why would we need to know?
If people are realy concerned about him spiritually and the things he does that might be sinful they should pray for him and keep silent about his personal life.
I agree he is not here to defend himself but should he even have to defend himself to us? We are not his judge although some might like to be the jury to hear all the juicy details in the courtroom.

Obviously someone doesn't know what "splitting hairs' means.
Brad can defend himself on here. Harold Bennett isn't here to deny Brad's slanderous remarks. I said "maybe" Brad is gay because he is showing classic signs of internalized homophobia: using his own "gaydar" to "out" workers, an obsession with homosexuality, and a self-loathing which he then directs towards others.
The really curious thing is how Brad became so insanely anti-workers to the point where he would make up stuff about them and use vulgar, vicious words to denounce them. "The Truth" is bad enough without resorting to slander. This leads me to wonder-- not proclaim, because I'm not asserting it as a fact-- but just ponder the possibility that Brad *maybe* made advances to a brother worker and was rejected, or perhaps his feeling that certain workers might be gay set off a deep-seated guilt about his own repressed attractions.
What else would explain his neurotic assault on the workers, who-- for all their flaws-- are certainly no worse than Pat Robertson or most "worldly" ministers? At any rate, a sane person would say that you'll always have some bad apples, and that nobody's perfect. Instead of rising above the peculiarities of "the Truth" and the emotionally damaging aspects of it, Brad has sunk far lower than any professing person would.
However, I'm sure professing people couldn't care less about Brad's little war on "the Truth." His jokes about "the Truth" and slanderous posts are mostly re-directed right back to his own mind, which is clearly disturbed and in obvious need of psychiatric help. Which is not a negative thing. Therapy and medications should not be vilified. But we should not "enable" Brad-- to use some "armchair psychologist" jargon-- by behaving as if he doesn't have a big problem, one evident in his dishonest, hateful posts. I'm really trying to help him by jarring him a bit. He needs to know that his words are crazy. Only an insane person would post thread after thread making up stuff about the workers and denouncing them in the lowest terms. Once he is well again, I hope he can put "the Truth" and his vitriolic campaign against it behind him and live a better life. And if that means coming to terms with homosexuality-- though most chances are he is heterosexual-- I for one will not condemn him. There is nothing wrong with being gay.

Telling me to jump off a building-- wow, there's a humane and constructive statement.
Why not try going on TV and saying "homo" and see if you don't get fired? Look it up in the dictionary and I'll be it says "offensive" or "derogatory" next to it.
Chances are you're homophobic, as well as ignorant, and so you not only don't care that "homo" is an offensive word but if you knew it was you'd like the offense it created.
"N e g r o" is Spanish for "black" so why don't you go up to a big tall black guy and call him a "n e g r o" and see how he rearranges your face?

From the American Heritage Dictionary:
ho·mo 2 (hō'mō) n. pl. ho·mos **Offensive** Slang Used as a **disparaging** term for a gay man or lesbian.
[Emphasis added]
But Brad shouldn't be banned just for using this term. He should be banned for disrupting all reasonable discussion, abusing message board privileges and spreading lies about people who are not here to defend themselves. Free speech? He has his own Web site and can slander anybody he wants there.
