Now that I am away from the WTS and have been attending various churches and sitting around listening to relatives and neighbors talk about their churches, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, independent, (and synagogue), busybodies/gossips rule in every church and in similar proportions. The more "holiness" is stressed, the more the sins of others are scrutinized, bandied about, and judged. Because most our experiences were within the WTS, it is hard to imagine it could be the same in other religious groups. Sorry, folks, it's bad there too.
