Many excellent points! The irony for me is that the WTBS creates a Talmudlike prison for their adherents as well as a self-imposed stifling workload for themselves. The hundreds of rulings they must make on blood components, so-called neutrality issues, sexual practices, etc. make any real spiritual shepherding impossible. None of this makes anyone more Christlike.
