looking_glass
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Tuesdays, after the Theocratic Ministry School school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise on Earth, Reasoning with the Scriptures, and the Book of David in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the WTBS. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me. I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Ruth during an assembly drama, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Brother Franz. But I have not yet been born.

RULES & REGULATIONS
I will tell you all the problems I have with the WTS: too many meetings...repetition of material...the name Jehovah...baptizing minors...disfellowshipping of minors or anyone who does not wish to remain in the congregation...the translation of the New World Translation...time slips for field service hours...young children being called ministers...the constant reminder of The Faithful and Discreet Slave (who make themselves more important than Jesus)...all the rules and regulations in every aspect of your life...the constant reminder to do more...the reasons they give are always lies as to what is happening in the WTS...the fighting between congregation members...no reading of any other source other than the WTS material...and on and on.

insearchoftruth
Have quickly been introduced to the JWs when my formerly inactive wife has started a bible study. Was directed to this site by Towerwatch and it is really helping me not only learn about the organization, but also providing me encouragement and support as needed. I will never become a JW and I hold my faith and relationship with Jesus very dearly, but I also do not believe that Christianity is the only true religion (so you could say I am somewhat confused). I continue to come here to get information to help in my understanding the beliefs of the jws and to be able to plant some doubt in my wife's mind to at least have her make an educated decision, rather than having her decision directed by the society. Shall continue to add to this profile over time, I do appreciate any information that you can provide me and this forum has helped me more than any of you could realize!
