Thanks Exjw ... that explains why my Mum has been banging on about asking people for studies so much of late!

The stress is not imaginary. My Dad suffers from immense stress to the point it has taken a physical toll on him. He's now 73 and been in the JW faith since his late teens ... and the stress has intensified. It's tragic to see first hand ... it's tragic to know he's not the only one who worries so.
