Hey Mr. Ben...interesting you bring up the point about how being a JW helped you quit smoking. My 6 year old daughter and I were discussing smoking yesterday and how bad it is for you...I related to her that both her grandparents used to smoke but that they gave it up...she wanted to know why and I explained to her that when they became JW's they were required to quit...we then reflected on the fact that some good came out of the JW experience for them...and that some good can come out of ANY experience..it just depends on how you view it and what you personally take from it.
So while I would never recommend joining the JW's to quit smoking it is nice to know that something good came out of the experience.
