Brotherdan's New Blog
by brotherdan inalthough i know it is not the place to advertise, i just wanted to inform you guys that i am starting a new blog.
i will be updating it at least weekly.
it will be an analysis of older wt publications.. as you'll see in my first post, my intention isn't to "bash" the watchtower, but only to give a critical eye to what was said (good and bad) and how it contributed to the jw culture that we see today.. if anyone is interested, check it out.
