   $$ The Government doesn't fund the women and men from the churches who do   
   this.

   $$  And the Watchtower Society now hands out bus fare to people with broken   
   down cars?  The catholic church recently paid the back-rent and for   
   groceries for a man waiting for his SSD check to come through.  His savings   
   were gone!  The Mormon Church paid the women (3 of them) who took care of my   
   Aunt before she died 5 years ago.  What does the WTS pay for where the JWs   
   are concerned?  They don't even get buried by the WTS should they be killed   
   while peddling WTS magazines door to door.

   $$ We're not discussing the people as individuals,... but the churches   
   themselves.

   "Avoid Independent Thinking . How is such   
   independent thinking manifested? A common way   
   is by questioning the counsel that is provided by   
   God's visible organization."   
      
    The WTS/GB wants you to become a mindless automaton.   
    Do not question what they say.   
    Do not think about what they say, just accept it.   
    Do not read the bible on your own, always use their "Aids."   
    Accept that the Governing Body believes itself equal to God.
