I was in high school. I was a true believer, but I was also struggling with a lot of guilt and was on my way "out" before I realized it. A
JW girl from my congregation confronted the hoTT, rebel boy that I had a total crush on . She said something like, "If you had a car and it started
making a loud rattling sound, would you stop and figure out the problem, or would you simply turn the radio to a higher volume?"
My heart stopped completely when I heard her say that because I knew that it came straight from the Awake we were placing that month. He
said he'd turn the radio up higher and ignore the sound. lol...that kinda threw her off because it was supposed to lead into some jw nonsense.
Unfortunately, she still managed to get her point across and offer him the latest Awake....meanwhile, I was cringing & wishing I were under a rock.
