Its a nice 77 degrees here in S.E.Tx. We did have about 2" of snow last week, first time in 30yrs. It was like a winter wonder land, it was gone by noon. Now that's the way I like snow.

I really like reading the post that made most of you question the WT. and hope that those same things may make my family question them too.
I have learned so much from the posters here on JWD the list goes on and on and on, way to much to mention in one post.
Thanks for the lessons

my website
by Trevor Scott inversion 2.0 of my website is now live at http://www.geocities.com/thewatchtowerstudy/.
please check it out.. i started this site a few years ago to publicize the wts - un relationship and it grew from there.
i hadn't touched it for quite a while and it was really in need of a face lift.

Very informative sight, the more the JW's are exposed on the internet the better. The internet is still the best method for bringing down the WT. My thanks for all the hard work you have put into this work. You may be saving lives.

It would be nice to see all JW's being this enthused, show's lack of interest. Just wishful thinking, that maybe they will see the real "new light".

God is really one very mean dude as the bible tells
by Homerovah the Almighty inbible atrocitiespeople of judah shout and god helps them kill 500,000 people.
god slaughters 70 men for looking into the ark.
god has the earth swallow people.

Steve 2, I like your explanation, I see it the same way, the bible was written in the middle east and the middle eastern people still mirror a lot of what was first written, especially in their treatment of women, beheading ( like they wrote about John the Baptist). Sounds to me like those people wrote the bible.
I never understood when it is said, " God is Love" and then read the OT and I have to ask, where was God's love?
The cruelties in the OT where explained to me from a JW that God had to act in a harsh way because the human race was running amuck and were disobeying God. The only way they would learn God's lesson was by God's rath. hmmmm, If parents used those tatics to raise out children it would be child abuse.

What do JW's do to make people think of Christ?
by DoubleVision inis it when you see them out in service?.
is it when you walk into the kingdom hall?.
is it when they open with song?.

Doublevision
I agree with you, I am not a JW but I have attended KH. It was so boring I couldn't wait for it to be over.
I was a baptized Catholic but no longer practice, however, I remember singing in the choir at mid-night Mass and it was so emotional and such a feeling of love came over me, when the song's Oh Holy Night, Hark the Hearld Angels, Oh Little Town of Bethleham, and Silent Night were sung. I would feel so full of Jesus' love and so thankful that He loved me enough to die for my sin's.
I have also attended some Baptist Churches and now their music really had me feeling full of Jesus' love. Hard not to feel emotional.
I also think that some of these religions use music to play on your emotions to lure you in. I still would rather sit in either church mentioned above then spend one boring minute in the KH. There is nothing uplifting, nothing to make you feel happy and full of God's love. I think JW's just dwell on their door to door whitnessing thinking that alone will get them eternal life. Too many JW's justifiy what they want to do, and make it a matter of conscience, the double standard, none of them are on the same page and they choose to wear the blinders.

I Am ... Free
by compound complex instronger, younger men would despair to find themselves in my place.
my circumstance - immobility of my lower limbs - would become an irreparable psychological blow to what many fellows believe the defining characteristics of manhood.
taking risks that are possible only in youth, these sturdy heroes march forward with confidence.
