Yes, Nathan, I do think this has something to do with that lawyer's article. I had mentioned that lawyers article to my JW sister, and she seemed to brush it off as untrustworthy or something. Hopefully when she sees this, she'll stop and think.
That, or she'll send me a copy of the article to help me "understand" the issue better.
By the way, how the heck is someone supposed to choose!!! Pray about it, and come up with a percentage in their head of what is acceptable??? Feel better having checked all "not acceptable?" But then what about when they realize their pioneer partner gets to accept all of them? This is total BS as someone else mentioned. It's getting so ridiculous, but they still put it in print, and the masses follow.
