I feel sorry for those who believed the lies and false promises of the Watchtower and paid for it with their lives, because of refusing blood or upholding some weird Watchtower belief.
Others were convinced to not marry or have children. In order to slave for the Watchtower, others were convinced to give up good jobs that could have given them better financially security in their old age, or put them in a position to help their kids or GK's. Others were convinced to turn down free college scholorships, or told they cannot go to college.
This cult is just plain messed up!
