i loved research.
i used to pride myself in my knowledge of different watchtower society info, especially organization procedure.

"You must not add to what the FDS has provided."
"But their science is off on a few points."
"Patience, Jehovah will provide the information at the proper time."
damn...this economy sucks.
its making me crazy.

Millions now living will never see the new light.

Hey Avishai how you been?
i know for many of the 44 years i was in the jw cult from birth - i felt i could.
or should i say i was conditioned to feel that " i should " trust the elders.
as jehovah's witnesses we were all told the elders were " crags in a waterless country " who would be a " spiritual stronghold " for us.
In the congregation I grew up in. Mostly
In the congregations that I attended while in college. No way.
