As a faithful and obedient JW, I have always rejected Christendom's literature for the trash that I imagined it was....
Today as I was getting off the subway a woman was handing out tracts... For the first time in my life I said, What the heck, sure, I'll take one...
I must admit, since I have only been "out" for about 3 weeks, I was trembling somewhat as I opened it (needlessly, a shakeover from JW days). It was titled "The Power of God", and had a very brief introductory paragraph recommeding the imporatnce of getting to know God through the Bible. The rest of the litle tract (48 tiny pages) is only scripture citations. While I didn't really read it, it struck me that whiel a JW would reject such a vile tract, it merely contained scripture citations... Nothing compared to WTS literature which contains way too many subjective interpretations iof the scriptures, and selected proof texts that support their twisted ideology.
I recall talking to a workmate about a year ago, trying to witness to her. I offered her the Watchtower. She replied, "we already have the Bible. That's all we need." I have since realized that this is true....
