It's how we were taught to diss everything our parents taught us - good or bad. My parents were good, church-going folk, and I know they did their best to live by the standards of the Bible. They helped anyone who needed help. They supported my great grandparents - almost more than their own family - and later had my great-granddad to live with us in our small house. They gave what they could to others (and they didn't have much to give, at one point not even enough food in the pantry). They supported vulnerable people, trying to give a fresh start in life. They sent or took us to church and Sunday school and did their best to raise us kids in decent, societally-acceptable ways: in which they succeeded. Did their best to protect us from the naughtiness that teenagers get up to, and from wickedness of the world. Why diss all that? Why not be thankful for the good foundation that was instilled? And build on that? (Well, the answer is obvious: who wants a Godly foundation when you intend to lead people into an ungodly life of debauchery and manipulation?) I'm thankful for my parents. They were far from perfect, but they did their **honest** best.

Didn't JN have an album "Wake Up America"? Remember we listened to it all the time when I was on the field as a Fellow Laborer in California in 1976.
