WOW Blondie,
I have also had all those same feelings and thought's about the WTS ... is it all about them or is it about jehovah. but I held in as long as I could with my feelings becuse of KNOWING that if anything else was said that I would loose my entire family. Personally any religion that asks that you SHUN family or others that you have a MORAL obligation to be nice too can not be the truth. This fact is pretty painfully obvious to people forced into the religion by being born into The Truth and many that sit in the hall everyday.. the problem is that THERE IS NO WAY TO EXIT with a clear concious! they hold your family hostage.
Thanks for your post, very interesting points :)
