I thought that was a powerful statement worthy of attention. About seven years ago, I Recall being in field in service with fellow JWs in a special territory assignment. When our car group stoped at a house, I was asked to approach it and make inquiries for new watchtower recruits. Suddenly, a powerful dog come charging me from behind the house. I froze,stood still and was lucky to have a house owner come over to rescue me in time. In reflection, I wonder if I was mauled or killed by that powerful dog, the whole JWs congregation and may be, the Watchtower Society of Jehovah's Witnesses, would have hailed me as a martyr worthy of emulation. Now, I know what you mean.
