WTBTS responds to my friends letter (scan)

here is the response my friend got from the wtbts.

in her original letter she respectfully stated her questions about 1914 and poured her heart out about her concerns on other doctrinal issues.

she sincerely requested help and wrote about feeling torn by the contradictions she had come accross in her personal study.

my wife just called me at work to inform me the same 2 elders that paid us a visit the other night stopped by this morning ( while i wasn't home, of course!).

they said they wanted to talk to her about the way she felt about the organization.

she basically said the same things i did and they told her that there would be a letter of disassociation read at the next meeting.

Hello again
by HyTech in

2. friends
just wanted to thank everyone for their comments on my post the other day.

i was writing about the visit from the 2 elders that 'happened to be driving by my house' and stopped when they saw my christmas lights hanging on the house.

my wife called her mother to inform her about the visit and she said that about a week ago, another witness stopped at her house and asked if her daughter and son-in-law (me) were still living at such and such an address.

2. experiences
hello everyone, i've been reading a lot of posts here over the last week or so and decided it was time to introduce myself.

i'm from pittsburgh, pa and was not brought up in the "truth", so to speak.

i only became interested when i met a girl at work (who was a witness) and we started a friendship that eventually grew into a strong relationship.

Is the Flood Story True?
by JosephAlward in
1. watchtower
2. bible
those who have not yet relinquished their right to think for themselves should be virtually certain that the story of noah and the ark is a fable.

those who believe the bible's stories are literally true find it almost impossible to address with a straight face the problems presented below.. then the flood came which destroyed every living thing which was not in the ark: "and every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

" (genesis 7:23).
