  Culture or the lack thereof

  by Justin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  by NewWay in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  why i stopped apologising for the watchtower society - part 1. .

  in response to requests for information on why i stopped being an apologist for the organisation, i have decided to write the following article.

  what is written is not meant to attack the beliefs of jws, but rather to show why i personally came to the conclusion that i could no longer support the organisation.
