  The Hooks: Which One Did You Bite?

  by ezekiel3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a theory that recruited jws (not those born into it) all have a specific reason why they converted.

  i just finished reading "who wrote the bible" by friedman after seeing someone reommend it on here.

  i was enthralled and finished it in record time for myself.

  i'd never considered anything that could be called 'higher criticism' before.
