wt wizard is right. banning the wt for what it is . is great. how many jw's were in the U.S.S.R. and eastern bloc countries. till it opened up in the 1990's only a few 1000 at most. if the United States finished off the wt in 1918. none of us would be here crying about how the wt destroyed your life. if the U.S> gov't closed the wts in the united states tomorrow. that would be a great thing. and i would throw a party. once you close the printing presses the wt is finished. to bad the wt got off the hook in 1918. that's my stance and i'll never see it different. freedom of rights or not. if i was the President of the U.S. I would write the wts. and tell them if one more jw dies from your no blood policy. i would charge all the leaders of the wts with MANSLAUGHTER. AND SHUT THEM DOWN... JOHN
