I should have clarified my post a little more Varg ... wasn't your fault honey! It does seem however that the JW philosophies and doctrines are added to and amended so many times and from one country to another ... it's a wonder THEY can keep up ... never mind those of us fringe dwellers who look on in!!!
Not to mention how doctrines vary from congregation to congregation and regions of the country!

That whole "matter of conscience" thing kills me!! The society was always saying it's left up to a person's conscience, but you know if you went against the doctrine you were in trouble.
