    I was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness and was one for nearly 30 years. I have even given public talks before. I am no longer a Christian but my background in preaching is remarkably close to a background in organizing.

        That is really unfortunate, and I am sorry you feel that way. There are nasty people in every group, but not all of us religious are like that. I do not know what to say further :/

          The thing I dislike more is intelectual dishonesty, and as an ex religious myself I KNOW this is a main feature, not an anecdote… At least try reading material history of your own set of beliefs as I did…
