i've always found it difficult to put into words my true feelings and after 240 posts-i find it no easier.

i am not a good writer, nor will i ever be.

i feel most at home with brush in hand-allowing it to do my talking for me.

it has been an experience to say the least.

i accepted eagerly the teachings of the watchower bible and tract society over the last 7 years.

Irony of "Rebellious" Youth
by Pathofthorns in
1. jw
2. friends
i've found it quite interesting talking to several young ones who lead double lives.

the sad thing is, i don't find these ones so wicked.

i find them basically good kids who got a little messed up because no one had any time for them, or attempts to relate were rather lame.. the irony is that while talking to one while he was smoking a cigarette, out of nowhere he says, "but i still believe its the truth".

What is the WT afraid of???????????????????
by Zep in
1. jw
2. friends
ok, since it was so easy to get on here i'm assuming that this place is also over run by wts critics...but anyway!.

i've read a plenty of wt mags and got sucked in enough by the whole thing to go to a few meetings and do a bible study( which i wouldn't really call a study, since we just read one of their books).i soon broke of the whole thing and didn't even read another mag for about 6 years...6 months ago i wandered into h20 out of curiosity and ended up reading up on the arguments against the wts.. i have a simple question, and its probably very naive to ask this...but why is wts so afraid of debate?...there are plenty of sites arguing against the wts...but none for, apart the official site which doesn't address the issues raised by so called "apostates" anyway.. if the wt has the the truth why dont they just refute the the arguments against them instead of shutting up shop and labelling anyone who questions them an "apostate?

" or from satan or something.. i'm really beginning to think that all this wt business is just waste of time, that if i were to go to kh and ask questions that i have, i'm more likely to be labelled a trouble making agent of satan rather than be taken at face value as someone with serious questions.

1. jw
2. friends
i know that there is a variety of posters here from different places.

i have seen some from canada, the u.s., and australia, and england.

so i wanted to ask about the "donation" arrangement for literature.. somebody in another thread mentioned the "double" payment thing.

Writing private letters to the Society.
by spectromize in
1. watchtower
2. bible
for anyone who's ever written something of a private nature or asked clarification on certain beliefs have you ever had the unfortunate experience of the elders calling you in the back room or a sheperding call ?.

the reason i bring this out is that newer brothers or sisters don't know that everytime you write the society the society sends a copy of your letter to your local cong.

elders.
