I am sure there is a bell curve of both the good and the bad, as in any
organization, religious or otherwise. I dated a girl who was JW back in my
youth and one could only wish that there were more upstanding families
like
those particular folks around in this day and age.

Possibly. Where I live might have a great deal to do with attitudes. I
effectively live in downtown Toronto and one doesn't have to look very far
to find individuals that it would be preferable to avoid if at all possible.
And, I think you'd agree that attitudes are vastly different these days than
they were when you or I were youths.
