  Any other teenagers on here?

  by BlackWolf in

  2. friends

  i'm 16 and it seems like most the people on this forum are adults.

  i would think since most teenagers have tablets/smartphones there would be more on here but maybe not?

  it would be nice to meet some other young people.

  I'm 88, almost 89. My body is falling apart, but in my heart I'm still 17. Most JW teens find a home on social media and quietly fade or are "secret rebels". Being a teen and a Witness is a hard life.

  hi people,.

  i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).

  1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

  If the Watchtower Society Had done this

  by Old Goat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we've had a few threads about schulz and de vienne's books and historical research.

  if the watchtower had done done something similar and as honestly, i might still be a witness.

  shame on them for hiding history.. a rough draft of part of schulz and de vienne's next book is here:.
