by The wanderer in
1. jw
2. friends
 the watchtowers perspective seeing issuesin terms of black & white having been a jehovahs witness taught me that issues were seen as good or bad, black or white.

if it came from the society, it was good and if it did not come out of the society, it was bad.

i call this perspective my tunnel vision.

this is my first post and might be my only post, not sure.

i've chosen to "come out" for a moment just to talk about the 30 minute change in the public talk on sundays.

my father and brother are both elders, this change was a blow to them they enjoy giving encouraging public talks to the friends.
