the may 1 and june 15, 2001 watchtower issues have reading articles about helping widows through their trials and look after orphans and widows in their tribulation.

both articles contain very healthful counsel, tips and recommendations to the grieving and needy and to those around them on how, and when to offer help and support.. the problem with these articles is not that the average jw or local congregation elders are not doing their part in helping out the needy.

in fact, most individual jws are as compassionate and supportive as the average person.

the second article of discussion in this issue is titled: "moving ahead to final victory!".

the article starts to talk about christs enthronement as king and in paragraph one, along with an illustration of crowned jesus riding on a white horse, it states: "we today, have clear evidence that this foretold enthronement took place in 1914.. since watchtower article discussions are always a one way dialogue, where the society speaks and the rank and file just listens, it is easy to make assertions.

in a normal two way dialogue, when one says "i have clear evidence" for something, the other party will not just nod his head in agreement, but would rather demand to know and see what this clear evidence is and would want to proceed and examine it thoroughly.

the wt june 1, 2001 issue contains the article "if god is for us who will be against us?".

in this article the wt talks about identifying the marks of those having god's backing.

in paragraph 6 it quotes jesus words found in mathew 7:15,16 where he says that "be on the watch for false prophets that come to you in sheep's covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves.

here is some sage advice from the wtbts!

on page 23 of the may 15th, 2001 watchtower, in an article entitled 'building a spiritually strong family' paragraph 9 says the following.. there are dozens of magazines, hundreds of books, and thousands of internet websites offering advice on how to rear children.

very often "the information conflicts" says a newsweek special issue on children.

my name is joanne, and i'm 19. my earliest memory is of the kingdom hall.

it all started when my mother, who is now 62, was walking down the street and some witnesses stopped her while they were street witnessing.

my mom had a really tough life, and was looking for answers and a solution to her problems.

i requested that my sons (both jws) come to my home for a family meeting today.

had nothing to do with religion.

both of them know i don't go to meetings and that i have intellectual disagreement with wtbs.. son #2 said that before we begin the meeting, he would like to offer up prayer.
