We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends namely when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success.
I have many times asked myself whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon earth through the years to come than this massed multitude of silent witnesses to the desolation of war.
It's rather naive apart from being ethically objectionable to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don't operate that way.
Although your knowledge is weak and small you need not be silent: since you cannot be judges be at least witnesses.
My sisters have been baptized and my dad is a deacon at his church now. Sadly my mother passed away but what I can say is that the Jehovah Witnesses took very good care of her up until she died.
Perfect courage is to do without witnesses what one would be capable of doing with the world looking on.
It would be nice if I did have a good relationship with my family and yes part of me longs to have a mum and dad who love and accept me for who I am. But if they never do it's OK.
