My respect for you went up tremedously when you said that. Then I read the rest of the exchange. I forget who it was now, but some time ago someone posted that the WTS was donating food, blankets, and clothing to people of all denominations in need in Russia. My heart leaped, I said "Hey! Maybe there is some good in them! This is more like it!" then of course it turned out it was a hoax. I wasn't the only one with that reaction, but my excuse is that was a while back. Back when I thought the Society was wrong, but sincerely wrong with good intentions. Now I believe that about the poor sheep, but the blackguards who are their masters could never, ever fool me as regards their motives again. Anyone that changes the wording of quotes from old literature on the CD-Rom so they look better is a liar and a hypocrite who seeks only control and to perpetuate themselves and the system they are the heads of.
It is my desire, my dream to one day picket a convention. My parents and relatives mean too much to me to do it now. I believe it would kill them. They are in their mid seventies and in bad health. I have said too much already, to no purpose but causing them discomfort. I love them too much to cause them any more pain in their old age when they are dealing with far too much already.
