I agree with Perry. In some ways those of us in WS or selah homes had it easier, in some ways much harder than members on the field. We didn't have to go out & litness & worry about finances & the food was generally acceptable. But we had to endure very long hours of work each day with much less freedom than regular Family members. I was in WS during the RNR & while everyone else was having party time with no rules, we were still living like a police state.
The rules of censoring mail were even harsher in WS & more than anyone we were under pressure to cut off ties with loved ones. When I finally went to a regular Home it was a very strange feeling of decompression.
