Thanks very much for taking the time to research and post all of this information. Just further affirmation for most of us I imagine. The following section (have pasted below) in particular cracked me up the most. It is the most f'ing hillarious things ever, and opitimises the WTBS indoctrination, putting words in their mouths techniques. I remember myself chanting those very words right through primary school, highschool and then when I started working. Amazing that people who "so obviously" think so clearly for themselves should need a reminder as to their specific motivations for initially being drawn to the faith, so as to build a case should there be anyone demanding of them a defense for their faith???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Many try to portray the beliefs and practices of Jehovah's Witnesses as dogmatic and restrictive. When answering questions about your religious beliefs and practices, emphasize the fact that you have formed your beliefs and adopted your practices after much study and reflection your religion is not simply a matter of rules which have been imposed by the elders. You want to emphasize the fact that you are a thinking, well-balanced, and reasonable individual who is competent to act as a parent. Avoid any response which gives the impression that you are unwilling or unable to provide for your child's best interests because of your religious beliefs."
