I can not agree more, the witness's have a very conditional friendship, if your in a witness family and they are good witness's you must know that it will be very conditional based on how loyal you are to a publishing company. If you do not want to accept a particular line of reasoning or a aspect of their teaching you will be "marked" by most of them, if not shunned by mostly all of them if you are babtized. So, its a good idea to have as many friends as you can everywhere and anywhere you can, cause if its up to the witness's they will get in a position where you only have them, and from that position they can choke the life out of you socialy and cause you to feel like your not worthy unless you get on your knees and come crawling to them begging. Who wants to go through that, not me.
