  how many jehovah's witnesses does it take to change a light bulb?

  one to screw in the bulb, and two to knock on your door and ask you if you've seen the light!.

  bchapp you're so much smarter than the majority of us!

  you looked before you leaped.....congratulations!

  well, we were smart, we just didn't look with open eyes.. i wouldn't say i'm smarter, i just was lucky to have a better "gauge".

  yesterday at the book study it was brought out that people simply cannot understand the bible without the societies interpretations.. i have been pondering some scriptures and asked my teacher this:.

  who is paul speaking to in 1 thess, and how do you explain chapter 4, verses 13-18. well she answered the first part of my question but waffled on the second.

  i'll have to do some research, was the response.

  I've been studying.........

  i have been studying with the jw's for several years.

  they have been pressuring me to become one of them, but something seems to be holding me back, instinct maybe?

  i agree a lot of their teaching are good, and i'm sure are the truth but here are a few of the things that bother me: jw's use the scripture hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the gathering of yourselves together...... to justify their meetings.
