Horribly sad that religious belief takes away people humanity.

Shunning was once an accepted form of social punishment, in Britain, Europe, and Colonial America. Even the Vikings practiced it. Paul Revere was shunned. While making his famous ride, he got captured by a British patrol. While prodding him in the legs, with a red hot bayonet, they got him to spill the beans on the rebel courier network. The Sons of Liberty wanted to whack him for it. But his old friend, Sam Adams stepped in, saving his life. However, for the duration of the Revolution, Revere was shunned by his fellow Bostonians.

I have some aquaintances / clients who are JW...... They only gave me the WatchTower once. The craziest one lives in Hawaii.
