What "hooked" you?
by roybatty inim not sure if this has been discussed before but id be interested to read some comments from those who became jws later in life.
what caught your attention and sucked you in?.
my parents became jws when i was 5 years old, so it was pretty much the only way of life that i knew.

I really thought the Bible research was genuine.I did not join for the company as many do. I could live without that. I am concerned that I was never told some of the 'rules' I've heard of only since I've been here! some things probably slipped by me unnoticed, such as the mediator thing recently mentioned here.I honestly believed they were trying to get at the real meaning of the Bible, of course now I know differently.

Chatting in the supermarket...
by meat pie inyesterday morning to two women,one says her teenage daughter has started to study the bible with a teenage jw i know.
husband and i are both alarmed, but the woman in question says she doesn't expect it to last.and her brother-in-law wrote a book 'about dates and stuff' and was df'd.
so she already knows a good bit about jws.anyway i told her about the dateline prog even though she won't probably be able to see it, she was shocked at that, so hopefully the study will end soon.i also told her there had been a non-pedophile cover-up at the local cong.

Her b-in-law is surnamed Murray from East Kilbride, anyone know him?

Yes this is fascinating, I suppose it would depend which Bible and when. I'd like to know what happened to the things Mary(Jesus' mother) wrote down, as it mentions she did in the Bible, but I can't remember where.All additions/subtractions must be biased even unintentionally. I have looked up this subject before in the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Don't the monitors ever doubt...
by meat pie inthinking about d8ta's excellent post reminded me of something my husband said the other day,'don't these wt monitors ever doubt the wt after reading all this stuff?
' surely there are some who, after reading pages and pages of info that cannot be written off as 'evilpostatestuff'their consciences must trouble them .
or do they really think the org will save them at armageddon, not god or jesus?

Surely there are some who, after reading pages and pages of info that cannot be written off as 'evilpostatestuff'their consciences must trouble them . or do they really think the Org will save them at Armageddon, not God or Jesus? Or do they not believe the Bible at all, and couldn't care less?
