There's nothing poor about pope Francis, let's get that straight!  No we should not live in isolation nor should we force our beliefs on others,  but if we are just going to attend these meetings without going to witness for Jesus,  then our appearance is in vain.  Jesus never ever attended an event JUST to show His face. We are His representatives and are to do what He would have done had He been present at the event or function. I'm not being imaginary in my ideas I also know people who work in the GC and NAD. I also do research and do quite well in my research.  I love our beloved Church,  and I love Jesus even more.  I will stand up for Jesus no matter what,  but I will not compromise my beliefs to side with our Church in wrongdoing,  and regardless to what you say,  our Church from the GC to the NAD are both in apostasy and it pains me to see how Catholic and Jesuit false doctrines have been allowed into our belief system through our schools.  This is a sad truth,  but it is truth
