If you were founded on Christian principles, there would be no need with withhold what those principles were. Being initiated should have nothing to do with it. Christianity is for everyone, not just a select few. Stop running behind your org's shield and just tell us. Jesus wasn't secret with what His principles should be, if you are inheriting His principles, neither should you.
Frankly, that was a piss-poor attempt to evade the question. Do better.

You my be preemptively judging (and we all know what the bible says about judging) GLOs without joining them.
ETA: this isn't only directed to you but to anyone who feels this way.

Another "smoke-and-mirrors" word: Judging. What I see happening here is that someone is trying to hold you accountable to follow the Word of God, and no one wants to receive it, so they throw out the word "judging" to avoid the issue.
Accountability is NOT judgment. All that has been happening is that some non-Greek Christians are holding folk here to a higher standard in Christ and the point of contention is that some folk here aren't willing to humble themselves to receive it.
Let's stop playing games and just open ourselves to receive the Word, even if it is not always something we want to hear.
Nobody here is judging anyone.
