Meow,
In my case, I wish I would have diligently studied the beliefs of my Church, as I did those of the Watchtower Society. Had I done so I would have saved me years of confusion and turmoil. And I ended up back in the same Church I had left!

If you have difficulty getting to the site, go the the following location: environmental ruin in Iraq and click.
Then scroll down to "Iraq's ancient Babylon bites the dust: Priceless artifacts go missing mid isolation
and turmoil" 1999 Kevin Tibbles, N.B.C. News Report Correspondent and click. -

Will Babylon ever be anything but an archaeological and tourist site? I don't think it is faring as well as
Saddam wished it. See http://iraqaction.org.oldsite/babylon.html -

I, too, was taken aback when I came across a Watchtower booth at the local flea market. I simply ignored it.

Happy Man:
You point to all the religious people involved in war, but fail to point out that there are many not involved--and who are not Jehovah's witnesses. Take, for example, the Amish, Mennonites, Quakers, conscientious objectors from Catholic and Protestant backgrounds, and pacifists who are not involved in any of those wars you mention. Why doesn't the Watchtower Society embrace them rather than reject them?
And don't pretend that Jws are all lovey-dovey and all get along. It's easy to do that at conventions, but you know in congregations there is a lot of backbiting and not everyone gets along. All is not what it seems. -
