    Do you know the name of the country where the WT said the brothers walked thru Alligators Infested Waters to go to the assembly, etc? There is no way I will do that for Jehoober! They sound like Rick Fearon.

    Here is one quote:

    FROM Toronto to Tokyo, from Moscow to Montevideo—several times each week, millions of Jehovah’s Witnesses and their friends stream to their places of worship. These individuals include hardworking family men, exhausted after a long day on the job; industrious wives and mothers accompanied by small children; energetic youths who have spent a day in school; frail older ones whose steps are shortened by aches and pains; courageous widows and orphans; and depressed souls in need of comfort.

    These Witnesses of Jehovah use many means of transport—from high-speed bullet trains to donkeys, from cramped subway cars to trucks. Some have to cross crocodile-infested rivers, while others have to put up with the nerve-racking traffic of large cities. Why do all these people put forth so much effort?

    There was an assembly hall in South Florida, where the kids fed the alligators in the adjacent lake the free food that was served then. almost like paradise, vegetarians? good thing lake Nazareth was not croc infested when Jesus walked the earth,-- err water.

    The society always says that witnesses should not feel "guilted" into activity and service, right?

    Yet, then in a contradictory manner they trot out those sort of comments that in effect say:

    "WELL, you 'first world' slacker! If those witnesses can cross flooded rivers with aligators in them, WHAT EXCUSE have you got for missing service??? HMMM???"

    It amaze me how they (JW) make these extraordinary claims about what the brothers go

    through to attend the meetings. I knew a brother a Maya in Central America,

    when he attended the mid week meeting he and his family would visit my family and play

    the video games after the meeting. So I ask him one day, you are not concern for the safety

    for your family while traveling in a dory in alligators infested waters at nights?

    He told me he have lived all his life in the bush, it's no big deal. He said he would be more

    afraid attending the meetings in the big cities where he may get mugged, he knows the alligators

    he was not concern..

    I'd come to suspect that those stories were bullshit long before I'd faded.

    Hell; where I lived, they'd cancel the meeting when it just snowed an inch or two...

    (And not even alligator snow. Regular snow.)
