I then thought that, if it weren't illegal, COs would encourage JWs to get rid of their children.
So many people don't have children because of this cult. Either because they pioneered, went on the circuit or stayed in Bethel until they were too old to have children because the big A was just around the corner.
Don't forget those who couldn't have IVF because it involved 'murder' according to JWs 25 years ago, discarding some of the embryos during the IVF process to give the more viable ones a chance. So they did encourage people to get rid of their prospects to have children. Absolutely wicked and something that has affected my family personally, my brother and sister are both childless.
