Unfortunately for me, yes, I was in 100%.
I questioned it once when I was 18.
When I went to a woman's shelter for protection from my ex who had been an Elder for 40 years, the kind ladies there asked me if I had ever done any volunteer work, or any community work.
-----> I am thinking... Let's see LoisLane has been a publisher since she was 7, baptized as an ordained minister (sorry I have to laugh here) lol at the age of 13. All the work I had volunteered to
do for free for WT because I thought I was doing good, helping my neighbors to gain... Everlasting life on a paradise earth!!!???
-----> Volunteer work? Community service?
I answered the only way I could with dignity and no hesitation, I said, no.
