so i've been talking to one of my jw relatives lately, she's a young adult, born-in.

i've never openly said i don't believe in the governing body, and i've been asking her questions in order to get her thinking.

so i asked her if she believed watchtower publications were inspired and equivalent to the bible.

Former Bethelites, please settle this argument

i was recently talking to a friend that's a former jw, and she argued that there are just as many women that live at bethel as there are men.

admittedly, we're both slightly ignorant on the subject, since neither of us have actually lived at or even visited bethel.

i've made the assumption that there are significantly more men than women at bethel, am i correct?.

Will RomneyCare become an anchor around Mitt Romney's neck this election?

i realize that most democrats and republicans will simply vote their party preference this election.

but i can see romneycare possibly becoming a big issue for independents.

this issue portrays romney as a flip-flopper, and might create a lack of trust in him.

How are child abuse laws different from Watchtower corporate policy?

2. child-abuse
what is the official watchtower policy?

how does it compare with state child abuse laws?

is the watchtower more concerned with their image to the "world" than they are to the safety of children within their religion?.

i have a fairly simple request.

i need to know if the kingdom interlinear translation of the greek scriptures is still available for ordering from the society.. i was recently talking to a jw relative and he claimed it was out of print and not available for ordering.

i'd like to find out if he was lying to me or not.

Studying with a JW, need info about Watchtower doctrine.

my spouse was raised as a jw but is now free from the "organization".

i've got a ton of in-laws who are still jw's, but have noticed that a lot of the younger ones are starting to slowly realize something is not right in the so called "truth".

i've been studying off and on with one of the relatives and planting little seeds of doubt.
