:::::::::::::::o apologize for and blindly support an organization which has shielded pedophiles with the implementation of a two-witness rule, murdered children with the adherence to a blood doctrine which has continually changed, divided families by the practicing of an unscriptural shunning doctrine, and driven others to suicide because they lost all they had ever known for questioning a man-made religion
Reborn, a dear sweet man in our congregation died of a heart attack a year after he was d'fed for smoking. Whilst smoking may not be the wisest lifestyle choice, being shunned by four kids and several grandkids creates the kind of negative stress that gives rise to heart attack. I have no doubt that the WTS killed him. His oldest son has never forgiven himself for shunning his dad. He has to live with it on his conscience for the rest of his life.
You have named but a few of the WTS failings. I see so much harm and damage they've created that I feel sick to my stomach over it. Yes you and I are batting for the same team.
