"What a complete waste of time, gas and energy".
Even when I was "in", I thought about that a lot. I've often wondered if someone did a comparative study of the different religions' carbon footprints, what would they find?
My guess is the JW's would be on or very near the worst. Just think of all the paper products, toxic printing chemicals, fuel used driving in f.s. and driving to assemblies and conventions.
The Watchtower likes to point their finger at the rest of religions grand buildings in a negative way, but these buildings generally last for hundreds of years. On the other hand, your average Watchtower building is either remodeled or replaced every 15-20!
