Jehovah’s Witnesses opened a place in the center of town when I was a little tyke. The name tortured my small mind. Even then, I was a student of civics, law, and politics. At the time, I knew nothing of Jehovah’s Winesses but the sign on the building that kept haunting me. I could not reconcile the ideas of justice and good government with the existence of a place where you could hire witnesses as needed for your court case. It seems Allred has run with the notion and has been going gangbusters running Allred’s Witnesses.
I have one in my neighborhood. One time on a nice Saturday morning 2 young men from there knocked on my door. I was in a good mood so I invited them in, offered some iced tea, and asked them how I could help them. They both looked confused, looked at each other, and then one of them turned to me and said "I don't know. We never got this far before!"
