Dear Tap,
It can be said that we all have a way of life that we aspire to uphold as important to us. My needs were simple, because family was everything to me - I wanted a simple loving family rather like that which the majority of my fellow humans take for granted. Unfortunately the JWs walked into my parents' home when I was young and slowly but thoroughly trampled on all on that I hold dear. Hence I have lived the last 18 yrs of my life separated from my loved ones on the grounds that I don't share their religious beliefs. If I thought it would help my cause then I'd walk into the Memorial with Henschel's head on a stick. As it is I know anything I might do to disrupt their meetings would be interpreted as demonic or typical of those who *turned their backs on the truth*, so I don't subject myself to this type of frustration. But for those who do, I consider the society of *loving brothers* fair game!
