there was a recent thread about the oct 8th awake, on education for teen mothers.

note, that this magazine is really catered to teen mothers who are already witnesses.

the awake is so subtle, in fact, if you want any ideas about what's happening in the watchtower religion, read the awake!!!

Yes . Thats why I'm in colledge now at 30 years old. All the older teenagers were pioneers and I was encouraged not to get a career but to pioneer. I was crap at pioneering , I never felt comfortable calling on people, and it was just a matter of getting time in. I've cleaned windows since I was 17, doing a few other things inbetween. Its not bad money here in Britian though I can easilly earn £13-17 and hour,(I knew some witnesses getting up to £30 an hour) when its not rainning. But it such a boring mind draining job even the though of money cant make me want to do it any more and I stick to 2 days a week the rest in colledge in the hope of finding an interesting job.

Not sure it is a good idea to charge people in order for them to find out the truth about the organisation you were once one of the leaders of.Ok books cost money to print so tyou would expect to pay , but why not put it on the internet?
We all post what we can for free and most of us have no inside knowledge.
I not trying to stop a man earning a living , but he was not the only guy to give up everything for the truth and be old with nothing thousands are in the same situation.
I'm sure appresiative people would donate toward helping Franz out.
But I must add I don't see other old ex-witness getting money for believing the same crap, is Franz considered a special case to some?
I'd appresiate no rude replies just explaim what point I am missing if you believe I'm wrong.
Just dont bring up any "poor old man crap", there are thousands of them.

"I believe we are engaged in World War Three right now and that the survival of western civilization is at stake." The US verses Saddam = world war 3? I always knew Americans belived the whole world revolves around them.
