I have to say that I respect New Resident’s position on it – I would find it hard to protest something when I didn’t have personal knowledge of it. While reading the excerpts of this man’s book here and elsewhere, it certainly sounds like something worthy of protest. However, I’m sure you could also pull the right excerpts out of the book and make it look like the most loving, wonderful act on earth. (Note: I am NOT saying anyone manipulated this information posted here or has a particular agenda; I’m speaking generally.) But if I were protesting it and someone asked my opinion on something in the book, and I had to admit I hadn’t read any of it, I’d come off looking like an idiot. Being informed is important for all of us in any situation, especially when we’re speaking up about it.
