hey larc,
I just read the new thread about the WTBTS saying no *mature christian* will have *private doubts* in a new WT study.
Then I posted the Walsh Trial Thread - quoting Fred Franz and Covington as saying a person should be df'd for independent thinking - even if they were correct and the WTBTS wrong.
With that background, it's not hard to see why arguments over thoughts, phrases, etc., happen.
We jw's, for the most part, have never been allowed to speak openly about our own thoughts, opinions, etc. Never been able - or to learn - to discuss, even argue, points & emotions.
Some of us are still learning how to do these things.
But I do think that this place, H20, Support for XJW's, etc., sites are invaluable for us to communicate in.
Thanks, larc.
