Rwanda, Neutrality and Muslims - what about the dubs?
by acsot inwe have all read in the wts publications about how neutral the dubs were during the hutu/tutsi massacre.
i have no doubt that the majority of dubs remained neutral.
however, it is interesting to read how other major religions also helped each other out, as well as took risks to protect their neighbours.

Did you ever go back to the Kingdom Hall ..

i'm in the position now of pretty well being able to plan exactly how i leave for good.
i'll be moving to a foreign language congregation at some point in the near future, then after awhile i'll be "selling my house" and "moving" far out of the territory i'm in now.

Believers ? I need your input ? elder called and left my mother in tears
by acsot in[quick update: almost a year ago my mother had two strokes and a heart attack.
needless to say, we haven?t stepped foot in a kingdom hell since then.
some of the rank and file have been kind and supportive, so i have them over to the house once in awhile (i?m also doing it for selfish reasons since it gives me a break and i can get out)]
