Are you irritated by popular misconception?
by TD inmaybe this is a sign of advancing age and i shouldn't let it irritate me.... (but it does anyway..) .
when popular misconception gets repeated long and often enough by the ignorant, it eventually becomes accepted truth.

Can JW beliefs contribute to suicide?
by TD init may sound like a strange question, but aspects of jw behavior that are incomprehensible to outsiders actually make a morbid kind of sense when viewed through the lens of jw doctrine.
for example, about 10-12 years ago there was a single mother in my wifes congregation.
