if you ran a business based on how much literture that has been printed which i would like to know about (just a rough guestimate) how much literture has been printed compared to how many witnesses are still left, don't you think this is a terrible ran business?

how much money do they spend annually on bethelites, co;s, do's and special pioneers and missionaries.

don't you think this is just a terribly ran business.

i find the term apostate used freely towards those who have left the org, by both witnesses hiding and also ex witnesses calling themselves that.

don't you find that offensive.

i have been out for over 6 years and the last thing i consider myself is an apostate.
