Jon quoting me:
Initiates are usually less disruptive than average in an environment like this. Beginners are usually the difficult ones.
Jon writes:
"True" and "true" to both.
You guys are individually looking at the situation mentally different, though you both speak true.
Two contradictory statements cannot both be true. Either beginners are the most disruptive or the initiates are.
I submit that it is the beginners who are the most disruptive.
Look at Christ in the temple when he was 12. He was not disruptive, but interesting.
Then later when he was seen as disruptive he was minding his own business. He didn't enter the meetings of the Sanhedren and try to force his views upon them. He taught and healed among the people where the authorities shouldn't have cared less. But they did care because it was the authorities who were disruptive, not the Christ. The authorities went out of their jurisdiction to attack the Christ--not the other way around.
