  A little more about me

  by Ticker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello everyone, you have probably read some of my posts but i wish to tell a little more about my story, not all of it but just to give a mindset of where i stand and how i feel.. i had been a witness since childhood as i had been indoctrinated at a very young age by a zealous grandmother who had devoted her life to an organization.

  like i had stated before i have come to realize she was serving a image of god created for her consumption by imperfect men, but none the less i know she meant well in her actions.

  i have always had a good heart toword others and god, and though at times it troubles me to think of how i used to carry the jw mindset of judging others viewpoints and faith, not intentionally but because of being molded into such a form through misdirected thinking.

  Faithfull to the end

  by Ticker in

  my grandma was a devout jw most of her life, and when i mean devout i mean 24-7 preaching constantly to anyone especially family.

  i have her to thank for my indoctrination as a child, but i realize she was merely indoctrinated herself.

  her personality traits led to her being such a zealot for the watchtower, so i have no bitterness toword her, as she has passed on a few years ago.

  watchtower red flags

  by Ticker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was studying and in the org i never did put two and two together becuase first off it was peer pressure and a young baptism age.

  i was indoctrinated as a child so i never got a chance to ever use sound reason and judgement toword the validity of the society's claims.

  but anywho i was thinking the other day about certain things that are obvious red flags and far fetched claims that the org makes.

  Selling of Magazines and literature

  by Ticker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking the other day that the watchtower society used to sell the mag's and books to people at the doors for a set price.

  i know that realisticly they need to cover costs but everyone knows they made profit off of their sales and still do through the donation method now in place.

  what i wonder is how did they justify selling for a set price when it clearly says in the bible "you recieved free, give free".
