and were obviously wrong.

this topic came up on slashdot, where some of the replies were...interesting, to say the least.. what would you guys say to yourselves, if you could send your 12-year-old self a message?.

"if some tinge of doubt about jehovah, his word, or his organization has begun to linger in your heart,take quick steps to eliminate it before it festers into something that could destroy your faith...do not hesitate to ask for help from loving overseers in the congregation.they will help you trace the source of your doubts,which may be due to pride or some wrong thinking.. ...act quickly to route out of the mind any tendency to complain,to be dissatisfied with the way things are done in the congregation.cut off anything that feeds such doubts.. from the watchtower,2/1/96,p.23-24.

from the 2002 supplement to the 1996 version of thus saith the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, by randall watters.. feel free to comment on the above paragraphs.what is actually being said here?
