They eat their young, they ignore their old, they snub their hurting, all they have left is the strong and all they seem to do is fight and maneuver. The Corporation seems to be receiving what they have worked hard to earn. I pity the masses trapped by circumstance and conditions. GaryB -

There are few in the corporation that are strong. JW's aren't just in Brooklyn or Patterson.

Mini, you point to a good reason why many reinstated persons don't attend much or stay inactive or become inactive. They feel that they are still not really accepted and forgiven, and they usually are not. They are the victims of a paranoid distrust. Also, it does not take long for them to realize that what they were "missing" was not much at all.

Yes, When you're made to feel like crap, why put yourself through it all? It's better to figure out that the "love" isn't really there.
