A symbol for all who have ever stood against Watchtower.

for all here to know, i'm not the first to write a book involving witnesses, but i do believe that i've written something which people here could greatly enjoy.

aside from being a story involving witnesses written by a youth, my book also establishes a symbol which i decree to be a counter to that of watchtower's.. you can check the book out for free at http://authonomy.com/viewbook.aspx?bookid=10802.

i plan on writing a number of novels in my time, and because of my upbrining as a witness and as a last ditch effort to help some who are close to me, i have chosen to complete this novel first.

Before this thing closes....someone respond to and make sense of this

i'm not very good at debating doctrine, etc., but my feelings on the whole shunning thing is that it just proves to me it's a cult.

you don't force someone's whole support system to be in this one small group and then take it away when a small rule is broken.. when the prodigal son came back his father welcomed him immediately with open arms and a feast.

he didn't make his son sit in the back of the room for 6 months and refuse to talk to him until he was sure he had repented properly.. jackie.

144,000 symbolism.

ok. i have a question that was never answered for me when i was going to meetings.

humorous answers are appreciated, but if anyone knows the real answer to this, i'd appreciate it, just so my curiousity will shut up.. the witnesses teach that the book of revelation is a book of symbols.

that's how they determined that hell is symbolic of being dead forever and that hell literal doesn't really exist.
