When I missed my CA this year, everyone was wondering where I was at. I told them: at HOME.
Does anyone bother to come by and visit, maybe provide some spiritual support? Hell no.
The GB has such a hold on these people, it's ridiculous. It may seem to most of y'all that the R&F are frustrated or saddened, but they're not. From personal experience, I still know quite a few Witlesses who are hardcore, and who take in everything they teach. The Tower is not done ruining lives yet...
