hi, um..i've been looking at this site for a while and decided to join. i'm 20 and have been studying since i was 14 (not a publisher) but i honestly didnt really look into the witnesses or analyze what they said. all i wanted was to learn more of the bible lol, but recent events have made me notice how pushy they can be. Anyways, not sure what to say in a first post. so..hi :)

thanx for the welcome :)
no one in my immediate family are witnesses. ive heard i have some distant (really distant) family who are but i'm not sure. i started studying because a lady knocked on my door and asked if i wanted to, lol. not the best of reasons but i didnt have anything better to do. the study wasnt consistent at first, mostly off and on. i started going meetings a little over 2 years ago (my mother doesnt like jws so that was partially why i wasnt going)

Welcome.
Just want to say that you're not studying the Bible, only what Watchtower says that the Bible says.
Please don't make the mistake that I did.
You can study AND benefit from the Bible on your own.
Just ask for Holy Spirit from the Father.
Love and understanding to you.
