A "sister" from a neighboring hall started walking up to my window with her bible and the magazines.
I didn't know who she was, but I said "Oh shit!" and dropped the book. She came up and I did the friendly "Hahah . ..I am one of JWs too. What hall are you in? Oh, well I'm in *****. Do you know so-and-so? Great. Well take care. Nice to meet you."
Just thought I'd share ...

LOL I'm sure she wouldn't have known what the book was anyhow, but it's kind of like taking your foot off the gas pedal when you see a cop even if you are driving the speed limit.
Funny...

Was it just a knee jerk reaction or was there a real chance that she might cause damage to your reputation in the future? I gather that if she saw you and later realised that you are a JW she might tell on you reading an apostate book.
That's how the WTS planned it out to control its members.
Hahaha,you hypocrite! Guess you did learn something from the WTS!
btw,I've got that book on order,is it interesting? I'm hoping to learn something valuable from it,I'm presently reading ISOCF and it's a real gem.
Goldminer: the GTR book COMPLETELY demolishes the 1914 doctrine.
(Of course, the WTS' own "Let Your Kingdom Come" will do that, too...)
Put a plan paper bag book cover on it like we made in school.
Since I've recently (about feb) left the organisation I've been reading so much material on it and looking into it's history. My one cousin is in "the truth" and started questioning me about the different books I had - Suddenly I felt like I had something to hide!!! But continued to bring them to work anyway. I'm just about to launch in Crises of Consience. If anyone knows of other good reading material please shout.
Loubelle in case you didn't know, apart from books there's a wealth of information about the WTS on the internet across numerous websites, in addition to free minds.

It's like someone telling a joke about Ron Jeremy. The ones who get it are busted, because they're not supposed to know that he was a porn star.
I used to do the same thing. Sit in a parking lot and read the books (CoC also). No one every came up to me though. I would have been freaked out. The tough thing is where to hide the book(s) in your car when you're at home.
