These and many, many other statements in the WTS literature are nothing short of filth.
To direct the sheep in this manner is both cruel and heartless.
Most right minded people would find this sort of bullshit offensive. Its a shame that some of our relatives actually believe that it is right and proper to be 'loyal' to 'jehovah' in this area. Everyone outside the truth would view this way of treating people as utter, brainwashed madness. I have never met one worldly person who thinks that this is acceptable. In fact, most think that you are having a joke when you tell them about it.
For this doctrine and a few other, I can safely say that I will never, ever return to JW lala land.
