i'm 21 years old and currently in a relationship with a baptised jw.

i have been studying with the jws for 2 years before we met.

WHY DO YOU INSIST on clinging to the Bible as anything other than fiction?
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
have you made the same effort investigating the history of how scripture was written down, compiled, redacted and selected as you did reinforcing your jw doctrines week after week at the kingdom hall?.

if you have; then you know it cannot be factual.. there have always been agendas.

the people with the agendas needed to wield power and using an invisible backup agent was a great device for controlling others.. somebody is always insisting they have an invisible and mysterious source of divine information and selling it like hotcakes and syrup.

ARE YOU UPSET THAT YOU DIDN"T GO TO COLLEGE?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
i have read of some people's bitterness because they were denied the opportunity to go to college.

during the 60's and 70's the society really discouraged any education other than what was necessary.

since the end was so near, especially around 1975, anybody that decided to go to "higher education" was considered very weak and unbalanced.
