I was a foster parent for a few years, if that counts for anything.

Awesome! I hope more countries will see through the WT BS. The country that needs the most attention is right here in the good old US of A.

To be honest, I struggle with this too. It doesn't seem fair that there is a complete slaughter of people for just taking a census.

Totally agree with you Island Man. They have become just like the world they denounce. This is NOT the religion they used to be 20 years, no, no way. To hell with them all. And I mean that.

I don't know. I agree with the apologists. I think David was in the wrong. Simple.

Why are witnesses all so highly stressed?

witnesses are so anxious, stressed, highly strung..... so much for ones who are supposed to be "the happiest people"..... thoughts?.

You know these comments are so true. Especially the ones about people not being able to be themselves. There was a resolution at our hall about some minor modifications and no one had any questions at all about them, just go ahead and approve the money. Now any thinking person would have questions, but not the JW.
