   $$ To *US?*  How can you speak for all JWs?  Did they make you their   
   spokesperson on Usenet?  You make them sound like a huge group of mindless   
   LEMMINGS all following the leaders (the GB) into the sea.  Why not admit   
   that not all JWs agree with this idea but are forced to comply so as not to   
   stumble others, or rock the WT boat?  Just because they can't vocalize how   
   they feel doesn't mean they agree with the WT's self-interested teachings.

   Please observe that everything that is alive will die.  That includes   
   all plants, animals, bacteria, and especially mankind.  Our wonderful God   
   has given us Cancer, M.S., A.L.S., Birth Defects, Blindness, Polio,   
   Alzheimer's, Heart Disease, and all the other wonderful gifts.  Since God   
   created all things, he also created all the severe disease germs he   
   blessed  mankind with.  (pinched from Gator)
