You'd think if a biblical offshoot was gonna demand a vanilla existence like that, they would at least promise actual heaven as a reward...not just eternity on earth.

I couldn't hack being that boring in just this life!

I ran into a lot of these guys during my sojourn out in Poland. Apparently they proselytized there despite the laws against organized religion at the time of Soviet Russia. Sneaky bastards.

What's even funnier is when I got to Rule 141, there's "Things JW can't do, Part 2"

There's nothing like the fear of being ostracized by all of your friends and family to keep the sheep in line, eh?

What a painful existence.

Makes me wonder what their suicide rate is.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I've had friends die for their religion. It's all too real in my experience.
