When on vacation recently, I ambled into a small bookstore. I did not realize that it was a religious book store. On the shelves were many books about Catholicism, and other religions. There was even a controversial book about the woman Pope, as some think there was.
I mentioned that I saw that they even included material that was controversial to a man in charge at the store, who turned out to be an Episcopalian Priest from the church next door. He was very knowledgeable about religion, and very nice.
If people of other religions are allowed to read and think for themselves, and are still members of their religion because they choose to be, why can't JWs?
By the way, the Priest invited us to go through the courtyard into the "Nave" or sanctuary of his church, and view it. It is over 100 years old, and very beautiful. An organist was practicing on a pipe organ. It was a real treat.
Maybe if the JWs were more forthcoming on beliefs from long ago, and mistakes, we wouldn't be so dissillutioned when we find them out.
And other churches don't throw people out for asking questions.
