To each his own. Thank you for your explanation.
After the Witnesses, I researched many religions and asked questions.
I rented a video put out by a middle eastern Muslim group attempting to bring the plight of Muslim women to light. It seems that in some areas, women are little more than sex objects. In the video, the women were to, of course, be totally covered, and not even feet could show. The movie centered around a woman whose husband had died. She lived with her mother and daughter, about twelve years old. She was actually a doctor, but due to poor economic conditions was not being paid. Every time the religious authorities came to the hospital, she had to completely cover herself. She had no money and no recourse,and since she was a woman working was discouraged, so she cut her daughter's hair, disguised her as a boy and sent her to a man who knew her husband, so that she could work and try to make some money for the family. The religious leaders came through the village, taking all the young boys, and she was taken also. They were to be indoctrinated in the manly ways of Islam.
It was found out that the "boy" was really a girl, and she was taken to prison. There, an old man, a religious leader, decided that instead of being put to death as many other women were being (stoned, after being thrown into a hole, for any minor infraction-totally covered of course) she would go with him to his home and be another of his women. She was locked into a ratty looking compound with many young women and small children who were telling her (through sub-titles) that they hated the man, wished they'd never been born because they were women, and that she would shortly feel the same way.
Perhaps they are not all this way. Perhaps they do not all hate "infidels" and feel that they must be killed. Just like with the witnesses, not all want to cover over child abuse, etc.
I just don't see it.
